@Riot how do you guys view Jarvan? Should Swain view him as more?

In his new lore there are hints that Jarvan is starting to become radical in his ideas and to question the Demacian way. Swain’s line to him is just a confirmation of the old Sion Reborn plot. The line of “his blood is the only useful thing” was great and all (even tho he got btfo haha) but I find the idea of Jarvan IV being a revolutionist quite interesting and I would be sad if he just turned into a Demacian fanatic. I thought Swain would have more to say about this or perhaps even use Jarvan’s impulsive tendencies to his own benefit?

I don’t think Swain respects any Demacians. Now if Swain knew about Shyvana I expect that he’d be very interested in her

I think Swain is pointing out that he views J4 and much of Demacia as beneath him.

Originally the two nations were heavy rivals. Now I feel this is not the case for Noxus. They view Demacia as just another enemy.

Jarvan is a lot of things that I actually really like in characters: Strong, moral, low-powered in a high-powered setting, focused on issues like politics and governance rather than some evil magic plot.

Unfortunately, he's held back by his overwhelmingly boring lore, which is mostly about how he met some other champion. Woo.

I want him to struggle to be a just monarch while honoring Demacia's flawed traditions. I want to see him attempt to become a better ruler than his forebearers. Maybe pissing off his more close-minded friends in the process (Garen if I wasn't being obvious). I want him to be interesting.

Only for now, he's just that guy who met Shyvanna, who also happens to be heir apparent, or something.

Well, J3 is ruler of Demacia currently I think. So J4 to him would be nothing more than a hotshot prince who was able to be captured easily.

Swain is a weak coward that fears the mighty j4.

He also is afraid of urgot.
