I Know the Hype Is Suppose to be About Badass Swain and All...

But honestly, the reveal of how badass Swain is just makes URGOT look even scarier! I mean think about it, Urgot is what SWAIN was afraid of, to the point where he had to throw him away towards Zaun and hope he just doesn't come back to Noxus after that. Yet Urgot's STILL KICKING, and that betrayal only helped make him the six legged beast he is today! And trust me, he's not taking too kindly to Swain after that. In fact, Urgot is the monster that lurks under Swain's bed.

Nonetheless, HYPE FOR SWAIN REWORK!

I dont think Swain was scared of an extremist like Urgot at all, it was implied that he was adherent to Boram's ideals and I imagine that removing allies from Darkwil would make a coup so much easier to accomplish. TBH I dont think Swain had/has any bad-blood with Urgot, just a means to an end.

However thats my opinion, ik the writer of Urgot even admited during the AMA that the exact details weren't 100% fleshed out.

I kinda suspect Swain would view Urgot as more of an annoyance, like that damn cockroach he thought he disposed of.

But with the trailer it does beg the question.....who would Swain fear?

I can think of two primary individuals. First, Illaoi. Her feats of might and nearly single handed defense of Bilgewater from the Mist is to be respected at least, if not feared for the possible consequences of offending her. Second, the dreaded revenant Mordekaiser, a mighty king of old who still cannot be bound to death and prevented from resurrection.

What says Swain feared Urgot? The lore only said Urgot was in the way.

Was it a betrayal out of fear or because Swain no longer needed Urgot? I don't remember.
