I am sorry to the people who are not impressed about Swain, but I am loving everything about him.

He looks badass He sounds badass His kit is badass

He's just dripping with lore (I'm sure Necrit is drooling right now).

Honestly, I have not been this excited for a champ since Jhin came out. I know quite a few people have a few qualms with him, but for me.......

God damn, I might just become a Swain main, because I am LOVING THIS.

EDIT: Holy freaking hell! There are Crows (or Ravens....can't tell) that surround him on a near constant basis while you play. It is extremely noticeable when you first start the game, because they're everywhere!

Here's Redmercy's video on Swain Gameplay (just watch as he walks out to lane....you'll notice them):

I am 100% sold now. That just did it for me. I've never seen that much attention to detail put into a champ except Jhin.

The more I find out about this, the more I fall in love with it. This is absolutely incredible Riot!

Of course. Most of the complaints are just cosmetic, especially the hair. But the kit and voicelines are so fucking good.

Overall I am not too happy with a lot of things about him(no beatrice at his side,no complete bird transformation,no cane and I don't like his hairstyle).

However I don't think the rework itself is bad,just not as good as I had hoped.

EDIT: To clarify,I made this post right after the reveal before we saw his dance animations or the birds sitting on the rift. However my biggest issue is his design eitherway.

oh please tell us how much time did you invest on Swain for you to forge this unbiased opinion?

mind you, this is not a new champion or at least is not supposed to be but alas, enjoy the new addition to your roster
