Intro
Hey ! I am Alex AKA RetrOwl, a Plat support mainly playing Swain and Thresh.

This is my first guide and I will be improving it whenever I get the chance. Feel free to hit me up to give feedback/ideas.

The guide will focus on the "Lane Bully" build, as it is in my opinion the best way to be playing Swain

Enjoy :)
Abilities






Swain - The Noxian Grand General
Ranged, Battlemage, Tankyboi, Support

Style: Over 9000
Carry potential: Amazing
Birds: Yes

Jericho Swain is the visionary ruler of Noxus, an expansionist nation that reveres only strength. Though he was cast down and crippled in the Ionian wars, his left arm severed, he seized control of the empire with ruthless determination...and a new, demonic hand.

Now, Swain commands from the front lines, marching against a coming darkness that only he can see—in glimpses gathered by shadowy ravens from the corpses all around him. In a swirl of sacrifice and secrets, the greatest secret of all is that the true enemy lies within.

Also... BIRBS.
Runes
Electrocute is the easiest Keystone to use on Swain. A simple Nevermove / Ravenous Flock / Auto Attack will proc the damage, increasing your damage potential.

Cheap Shot makes your Nevermove even better, by dealing true on your next spell as soon as the stun hits. Also works great with ADCs like Jinx.

Ravenous Hunter increases your survivability, especially with your ultimate, Demonic Ascension.

Manaflow Band is a debatable choice, but I find it easier to stay on lane longer until you get your Rod of Ages.
