Who is a better General, Swain or Nasus?
After reading Nasus's updated lore I was curious about who is a better general/leader. The great leader of Noxus or some dog? If you can't tell I'm betting my money on Swain.

"The battlefield has changed since the time Nasus was directing the flow of war. Personally, I think Swain is too canny if they went head to head right now. Give it time though, Nasus is going through some stuff at the moment."
An immortal dog dimy God that seen every battle in history that has ever book ever or a human general
Seeing as Nasus is ascended, incredibly intelligent, and was known for being such a good general… teemo is probably the best
I'd say Swain,mostly because being a tactician is a much more important part of Swains character than it is for Nasus.
I would bet on Nasus, because according to lore, he cared deeply for every warrior under his command that fell on the battlefield.
Knowing Noxus, if a guy in Swain's army died, they wouldn't even bother with a funeral. After all, if you're weak, you're already dead. And if you died, you'll be remembered as weak.
I don't think you can really compare. They likely have wildly different styles of command. They are on two very different fields of battle and faced opponents from cultures that are not remotely similar.
They are both good Generals, but to say which is better would require similarities. Unless we hear more of how each one commands their armies I don't really think we can judge them successfully.
That said they most certainly have aspects that are superior to the other. I would expect Nasus to be superior when it comes to logistics and battlefield control, where as Swain would be far superior when it comes to information gathering and subterfuge.
Isn't 
the general of shurima?
