and how imporant do you think arcangels is on him could I replace it for soemthing else like I would still build the tear but then later sell if for maybe more ap?

is quite worthless , u always will have the blue , swain should go for Ap/Mr/armor/health (the prior of the Defense depends on the other team composition) since hes a Dps he must stay in the fight and blue plus a wise control of ult will give u no mana problem

Very nice guide thanks a lot !Can u also make a Dominion build ? :D
Thanks.

Well TBH I dont really know how you could be really upset over a downvote. You have over 48 votes total... but also most of the guide is made up of pictures. Theres actually relatively little. Personally I found you could have gone more indepth in the skills but thats just me. Sorry but no upvote. No downvote though either.

It's a very nice guide.
Some parts of the guide are very nicely done, then there are some parts that are wall of text-y.
Like for example, your "Viable Swain Summoner Spells" is full of text, with 6 large icons a couple of small ones, you could definitely improve that. Then there's "Build Explanations & Purchase Sequence Suggestions" which has a lot of BBCoding.
Also, in your item sequence, you did not add the starter item.
You should have put your starter items, and then all the core items.
Otherwise it's a pretty sweet guide, and the build is very viable. It's a +1 from, but I'd like to see improvements on your guide. Check out jhoihjoi's guide for some help.

@Blackhart, thank you so very much for your real opinions and truth about my guide. I really appreciate your insight. I've honestly never actually tried MS quints on Swain. I have them, so I will definitely try those out soon, because he is quite slow.

You're right about the runes, I will work on those very soon. Thank you so much.

The only thing I have against your guide is the mastery choices, but I believe that that's a personal choice thing, so I'll skip that.
Same thing with runes too, I think you should expand on that section and give other viable options like , those can have a tremendous impact on playing .

Nice explanations on laning, and for being as short as it is, you have a lot of good information.
