THE MEMES ARE DEAD!
LONG LIVE THE MEMES!
For real though the skin looks awesome. Surprised they decided it would be 1350 rather than legendary (Looks that way at least, that's not confirmed yet), but hey I'll take it.
Give me a moment...I need to cry a bit.
Ahhh. This is explains why they nerfed Tyrant Swain.
I feel like Tyrant was gimped in favor of not just prioritizing budget to Dragonmaster, but also to make old Swain Mains with Tyrant into new whales. Dragonmaster even as a WIP has fully modeled ult form and transformation, complete with a unique flight animation for it. Features that many had ask be present in Tyrant since it was promoted as 'when the demon fully takes over'.
Even such sloppy details like the animation bone wrap error on Tyrant's breastplate (the reason why it warps like its leather instead of keeping its shape like metal, something that's seen on the default breastplate) that was left in.
This all come into focus. Feels scummy of Riot to basically punish their oldest players and mains, many who already owned Tyrant as a way to show their support of a niche champ, all to make sure they can fleece more money.
But more importantly...
Where is Dragon Empress

?
Edit: I'm just trying to keep some memes alive D:
Tbh i find his model a bit strange (mainly his head) and a little bit less epic than what i expected it would be. Maybe it was just that it fit the old Swain better.
I also feel kinda cheated on since Swain gets a brand new skin RIGHT AFTER his release...
Although i have to say, that dragon form is so cool.
Even the dragons look like bats flying around him. I'm still convinced Swain is related to Vladimir somehow... :V
His rework isn't even Live yet but they made a new skin for him. I feel like they need to do this with every rework.
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
I need a moment.
A bit sad its not our next ultimate though.
Am I the only one who wanted Dragon Master Swain to be in the same vein as Dragon Sorceress Zyra ? With Purple Particles instead of the red-orange that are not really different from the basic skin ?
Maybe its just me...
The reason Tyrant Swain could not be the epic master piece it should have. Behold, skin they want you to rather buy.
Honestly it feels very underwhelming considering they had a marvelous idea from a fan who created the original design. This feels very lackluster in all senses of the word. But hey, only took about 3yrs to finally release so I was expecting Legendary or Ultimate quality~
Meh.
This skin somehow reminds me to Dracula from the Castlevania series, its so similar tbh....
Color me surprised.
so swain gets a brand new skin right after his rework but 
dont?
more importantly new reworked champs gets a new skin before 
what the fuck riot
Well, looks like I can cross Swain off my list (Hurray for no longer going 2000 without a skin and FINALLY GETTING DRAGONMASTER!)
Now for Urgot.
Not wasting time with this one, our memes are becoming scarce.
looks great, though the crown bothers me for some reason, seems unproportionate because of the horns thus makes it look a bit silly. Looks good though otherwise
The skin concept is awesome, but 2 points bother me a lot:
-
The color-scheme is terrible. Looks like a Dragonmaster forgotten under the sun over the whole summer time - completely paled out (both in dragon and human form). It does not invoke any strength nor mystic whatsoever. More saturated flames, darker blacks and, please, no orange-man oranges. He looks like if he had some kind of sickness or is hangover.
-
The horns on his head look like Syndra, Kayn, etc. It just doesnt look well rounded and also a bit silly on top of that hair in my opinion. The concept looses its smoothness if you ask me, because it gives the impression of being forced. A dragon-like face, burning eyes, etc. would suffice to underline the dragon characteristics.
-
Ok 3! He obviously has a terrible coiffeur.
I have bashed the concept a lot, but he is awesome! I just had to bash it, especially since it is a soooooo long awaited concept. Considering that, its a terrible outcome for that kind of anticipation and excitement.
Swain Main Out!

#Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH---
I mean, this is decent.
... AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
super cool but...
is it just me or is his recall weird?
I could cry tears of joy right now.
My babe finally <3
The best part of the skin is his ultimate
I was extremely excited for DM Swain for all the years I was a big swain player. However this concept was designed for the old (real) swain, and not this new champion with Swain's name. It doesn't fit the same way. This Swain possesses none of the wildness of a Dragon. He just stands up too straight, if you know what I mean. The old Swain having the dragon on his shoulder made him feel more like kin to the dragons. Swain relied on them because he was old and crippled. With this he just has dragons sprinkled into his particles. And change his hair for crying out loud! I feel like they chose to keep the hair on this skin just as a middle finger to the many people that wanted his hairdo changed. I'm rather underwhelmed. I always thought that this skin would be one I would break the bank to get the first day it dropped, even if it were Ultimate. As of right now there's no way I'd buy it. I hope they do some more work on it before release.
