I am the only one who is disapointed he no longer has a raven following around and that he doesn't transform into a full demon bird?

I do like his new W a lot though

I thought that when the rework came out I would be ready to follow him into battle, but not into the bedroom.

I was so wrong.

WHERE IS HIS BIRD BEATRICE?

why the hell is he so young?

why does his ult look like a rejected Kayne ult?

why doesnt he turn into a huge bird monster anymore?

as a huge Swain fan i'm very disappointed

Listen the craft is superb, riot is amazing a polishing stuff and making it look super cool but this is NOT the right direction for swain, they made him younger, removed the cane, removed the raven and gave him long hair for some reason? I understand taking inspiration from the likes of tywin lannister or lucius malfoy but swain was his own character and a very good one that is

Making him into a warlock is fine, the whole eldricht energy or whatever is cool but the thing that defined his ambiguous character was the idea that he was a corpse controlled by a demon bird, hell, you could have made beatrice into a darkin and it would have been fine

Swain was the perfect example of Raven =/= Crow but now both fiddlesticks and him overlap so much that I feel like fiddlesticks needs to be erased or something

Needs a haircut honestly, something a little more militaristic.

He looks kind of bad IMO :/ at this very moment I'm extremely disappointed.

He looks cool, def not what i was expecting but its even better. Rito sure seems good at reworks. I can't wait for the lore now, i hope its going to be awesome. Especially if its followed by a lore update of most of the Noxians champs. Overall really digging it. I guess i'm just always admirative of the work put into recent splash arts. He does look like a future Vlad i give you that.

THATS FUCKIN SICK.

He looks like a diablo boss the kit and everything just makes it so. I do agree with the others though, there's a lack of respect for his lore in his design in favor to make him another edge lord like Yasuo. He doesn't look smart and cunning just cocky. Like he just kicked the door down to whoop some ass! which would be cool if it was another character. He's the one you'd expect to be sitting in a chair waiting for you but when you walk in the room he isn't there and you got caught in a trap.

As usual, everytime Riot makes game/balance decisions that frustrate me to the point of quitting, they have to rework a character in an amazing way to pull me back in. Sigh

I don't know why, but his base appearance screams Dishonored to me. Really dig the new look... even tough i'm gonna miss the old scarf grandpa

He scares me because it looks like he is going to hurt me badly like how Darius would....I like it.

I have no idea what's going on......but his music sounds so cool!

Can't wait for the full reveal. That goes so fast it's hard to see what's being used lol.

But either way that looks awesome.
