Swain is Broken

Not sure why my last post was deleted. It was spot on. So here's the TL;DR.

An unleveled Swain can kill a full team of max health silver and gold Brawlers, Nids, Rangers and Glacial with bonuses active. It's completely unbalanced and happened every fight against a Swain. He's obligatory to use now which means it's broken.

Please, balance the ability. Make it a sustain with a little AoE damage. Not an instant win.

You are nuts.

Swain is definitely not that powerful, particulary if you have healing reduction through items or champs.

Multiple brawlers and a guardian with tank items. Dead. It must be a bug or something, because it should never happen. Especially not while two silver Nids are keeping everyone up just fine until Swain pops. Two seconds later they're all dead.

Often Swain is alone before his ability pops. The fight ends with him at max health and me dead.

Silver Blitz, Silver Warwick , Silver Sejuani, Gold Vayne, Bronze Ashe, Silver Nid x2. Only Vayne survived each encounter, because she didn't jump into melee. Ashe was just there for Glacial level 1. She melted earlier on.

What does any of that do vs magic damage?

Didnt see you mention healing reduction anywhere and that is his counter.

Nidalee doesnt keep people up, she heals 1 time and transforms into a melee unit.

High health + magic resist items = tank + tank items. Spell damage still has flat values, they don't hit for a percentage lol. No healing reduc, but 1 bronze shouldn't be able to kill an entire team of silvers. Nid heals for a time, yes. During that time was insufficient during 1 of his heals. Haven't seen this bug happen since.
