Why do people think that Swain doesn't limp anymore?

You can clearly see they way he walks that he limmps and he even has a different boot in his right leg. He might not need the cane anymore but he sure isn't running around. This was even confirmed in his Champion Insights: In Swain’s updated backstory, he lost an arm and had an injured leg, but when he made a deal with a demon, his body was restored. (...) Also, Swain wears a leg brace—which is a nod to his old design—and word on the battlefield is that he rather enjoys dancing with a cane."

there is hardly any visual representation in the game of him having a limp. it's one thing to say someone has something. it's another thing to visually represent it. looking at his design you can't even tell one of his legs has a brace until Riot told you.

I think it's because the rework is more realistic. Since current swain walks more like there's a weight tied to one of his legs rather than just a simple limp, people think new swain's very subtle but intentional walk animation limp doesn't count.
