Don't screw Swain lovers like you did screw us Galio lovers, here are some things you MUSTN'T change

  1. His ravens theme, I think this is pretty iconic, he has a deep connection to his raven, now I agree that him turning into one doesn't really fit his story so far unless he stole some vastayan magic or something, also doesn't fit his "master tactician" title to just turn into a beast and charge into 5 people, as you already said, so if you decide not to go that way I will understand, but at least keep some ravens in his kit because its awesome and ravens are cool af

  2. His rusty voice and limping, also iconic, he probably has the most unique walking animation and his voice makes him sound kind of evil and vicious and I love it

  3. The motherfucking "nevermove", this right here has to be the absolute best and most creative pun name for an ability in the entire League, if you change this I will be very very upset (and so will Phreak!!!), just keep some hard CC and name it nevermove or I will RIOT kappa123

What do you guys think, is there anything else? I really want them to preserve that feeling of old Swain since they absolutely butchered and removed my Galio and this new dumb rock feels distant, I haven't played a single game on one of my mains and favorite champs since his rework. I don't want the same for Swain mains or any other mains for that matter.

If they give Swain a root, it must be called Nevermove. He needs that name in his kit.

Could you elaborate on how Galio lovers were "screwed"? Because a) it's not like a full relaunch was anything other than what was expected, and b) he still keeps many of the core traits of old Galio

i didnt read anything but the title but i upvoted and agreed based on the title alone...

we dont have galio any more we have a completely different champ that stole galio's name

and i loved the old galio

i will say this... with the rework.. the gate keeper skin galio is one of my favorite skins.

and i really like swain... so

As long as Swain is evil and transforms into a Demon Bird at some point, I think I'll be happy, tbh.

I want to see their vision for this guy. He's got so much potential and I just think he's not living up to it. Much like old Sion and old Galio. I know a lot of people wanted something different from those two, but I've never been let down by Riot. The last time they reworked one of my real faves, it was Taric.

And Taric turned out BEAUTIFULLY.

As long as he remains a drain tank, Riot won't be sued.
