His kit feels so smooth and satisfaying. His voice is like melted vanilla. His model is among the most badass in the game. Has prob one of the most badass ults in the game. Is a toplaner. Has force lightning. His combos feel great to pull off.

All in all easily one of my top 3 favorite VGUs ever released. Great job Champions team.(NOW GET BACK TO WORKING ON MY AATROX). pls

I love the map birds. They are such a kickass addition to the character, and such a unique little bit of flavor. I can only wish something as cool comes along if fiddlesticks has a VGU...

I actually think he plays much worse over all. his numbers seem way off. His q requires he put himself in danger, but his health is too low for that. His Ult does zero damage unless you have spent the first minute prior gathering soul fragments. His scrying ability is neat, but his grabby hand just seem worse than the previous iteration of nevermove.

His ult honestly needs to give him soul fragments, and the cooldown is way to long on it for such a meh ability.

On the flip side: He looks cool as hell.

That's nice to know that you enjoy a new champion that doesn't deserve to be called Swain.

its not everyday that i feel satisfied with a Re-work , i almost forgot that i was sour about his missing bird. i hope Irelia is as good as this one :D

still dont agree with his face though. could have been done better/different.

He has a shorter range now, and he snowballs or falls flat even harder then he did before. His W also feels terrible and his ult has alot of issues especially if you go a tankier build or get behind. Oh and he walks weird.

Sure aspects of the new swain are great but as a whole he needs work. He isnt finished

10/10 agree! I miss muh bird man (he was the first person I actually learned and was able to climb out of bronze with) but I played the new one on PBE a lot and I'm happy. I'm ready to climb the ladder with the new demon/bird man. And his stories in the lore...flawless.

Played a game yesterday with a swain as aatrox when we both ulted at the same time. It was glorious as we both floated like demonic birdies

Haven't played him but what I've seen of him from games and streams, he looks like trash atm

i agree, although i havent tried him top yet, only mid and once as support. i was never a big fan of old swain top but who knows maybe new swain will convert me. in game wise, 10/10 rework

I haven't played him that much yet PvP, but I loved seeing the animations and kit last night. He feels great.

Fully agree

I think he's cool too, but I feel like his play style is a little too similar to Viktor's, which makes me kinda sad because Viktor seems kinda lame now. Swain is basically a higher skill capped version of him with a far better kit imo.

And people are STILL saying he’s a Vlad copy.

Tails90162/9/2018, 3:04:33 AM1 votes

Is a toplaner.

Of course I haven't played with or against a Vlad 2.0 Swain yet, so idk how bad it is.

I never understood why he was played more top than mid. Why is that?
