I really like the gameplay design of the new Swain, just pretty disappointed in his character design. Imagine if Lee Sin was reworked to no longer be blind, and have long blonde hair.
invisiblecat14 votesLee sin being blind is shown in his kit, as he has sound based abilities Swain, on the other hand, has no abilities relating to being a cripple, so removing it really isn't a huge part of his identity

Champions have identity beyond their utilities in game ya know. Shen is a ninja in lore but in game he might as well be a heavily armored samurai.
Tails90161 votesI mean, I think he has armor in his Warlord skin, in which he looks more like a Samurai
CleverCactus2 votesAlso pretty disappointed that he doesn't fully turn into a giant demon bird.
Decrit2 votesAs i already said somewhere else, i believe full trasnformation is a no-no.
basically, it is a fully functional model for a skill that lasts few seconds and that has to deal with all the nuances of display ( how it interacts graphically with spells and spell effects, animation, skins and so on). which honestly it's a little wasted, given it's all resources that could be used somewhere else. It was a problem even before his rework, since it blocked him for having many skins. For sure they won't add one after.
You can see here, it has double the effort http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=50&skin=0
I am not a Swain main or fan by any point, but i can at least say this with some certainlity. However i sympatize with you, especially the lack of a cane, but i don't think it is horrible - this is clearly done with something in mind.
CleverCactus2 votesBut doesn't Kayn have 3 whole models? Gnar also has his mega transformation that is an entirely different model that lasts a short duration.
Decrit3 votesKayn has 3 models who use the same base skeleton and partly same animation that has a long lasting presence on the battlefield, since once transformed you can't revert back.
About Gnar , remember that Mega Gnar makes a much better use for it since it has a different skillset with different purpose - in short his model is needed for his gameplay, and not merely decoration. Same goes for Nidalee.

Shadowkirby141 votesI'm surprised that nobody got the reference.
ChompyWulf1 votesSince that Spongebob crap started when I was in high school, I wasn't into a child's show. Still not. And still doesn't make OP a baby.
Shadowkirby141 votesWell, I'm sorry that it's not at least the slightest bit funny to you, but it's only a slight joke relating to the title. I mean, I can't really pass the opportunity.
Sorry I'm not LaughingFish, but am trying to add in a little humor without trying to sound like a troll. It was never meant to be offensive or insulting, however I was expecting more people to actually get the reference without taking it seriously. Sorry if it did sound a bit rude.
ChompyWulf1 votesWell...sarcasm and the internet don't always mix, so yeah, that happened. Sorry for being a bit snappish.
