The solution to Swains future rework and theme! (warning for gameplay thoughts)
Well oh well. I have Heard many things and thoughts and screams of panic about this topic. I warn you here that this boardpost is about maching his gameplay with his lore and not just about story, art and sound.
Swain got this theme in his lore that is "Master Tactition", just imagion how awsome it would be to have that ingame if riot did a good job. Though to do this he would have to get rid of his theme he have ingame now. Now he is this "warlock" who is a healing battle-mage who have controll of birds flying around him in every direction. If riot removed their "healing warlock pigeon master" some would be very upset because they would just change Swain completely. So to keep his old gameplay theme (some of it) it would make sense to throw it right in Fiddlesticks face.
That sounds stupid but hear me out. :P
He is everything Swain is but zone controll. He is a battle mage that constantly heals and shoots out birds in every direction. I know it is not a perfect solution. If Riot would just give Fiddlesticks a small update it would be perfect. His ult could be updated so the birds that fly around him works differently so it doesent just do damage everywhere in a circle around him. I do not know how but it could be much more interesting. Maybe Riot could give him some more tankyness too. You wouldn't even need to make any changes to Fiddlesticks. He would still be a heeling battlemage that shoots birds around him.
I don't know if it is a good idea. But then Swain would be able to be Swain, we could keep his old gamplay theme buy having it mixed up with Fiddlesticks and we could get another warlock in the game when Swain doesn't take up that spot.
Feel free to put your thoughts in the comments of just how stupid this is and how he should still be a birdman that eats his neighbors for breakfast. Don't freakout about my beutiful inglish Im am from Swedish änd dount now haw tå talk dis languege xD
