Also, Swain has an incredibly high skill cap. He's not a Q-W-E-R caster. He takes a lot of thinking to truly master.


Well it's true, but yeah he is not an easy champion. That Master Tactican title...it isn't just for looks.

he is called the Master Tactician after all. but you would think of a taction as tiny but it sounds like swain can take a beating.

Nobody plays Karma though because she has the "support" tag while she's meant to be played as an AP carry.


really? O.o

never tried it. I build half support, with a bunch of tanky ap items and it works well for me.
karma is awesome idk why shes underplayed T_T

and honestly, on the actual topic, I think in terms of "fun", I like swain, because as everyone else said, he takes a pretty high skill cap, and requires thinking. Vayne is definately a good character though. Shes fun to play as well i guess, but personally i enjoyed playing swain more.

thanks for the input but the actual topic that everyone missed was which brings in more QQ juice for me to drink ?

Which pisses the enemy team off to the point of ripping their hair out.

Yea. Tanky AP Karma is the "ideal" way to play but, almost glass cannon, AP carry, maximizes your potential. Rabadon's amplifies your passive. :3

Swain is dangerous when fed (like most champions), but can be shut down pretty hard by an Ignite, good positioning, some CC and team coordination. He's also not the deadliest chaser if you can survive his initial combo.

Vayne isn't OP or anything, but she's one of the scariest carries in the game. She's very survivable between Final Hour, Tumble and Condemn (and usually Exhaust and Flash). More importantly, she can rip through ANY champion in the game due to her high AS, AD and anti-tank qualities. She's also one of the few ranged carries that can get away with buidling tanky.

tl;dr: A fed Vayne can make people scared and angry, carrying the team while being almost unkillable. A fed Swain just makes you wonder how the heck he got fed in the first place. Then some one buys an Executioner's Calling and he's back to a manageable level.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

Dropping in for a quick question here. I'm wondering why the swains I do see usually play him mid so often. He has an incredibly nice set of nice top lane matchups due to the melee heaviness of the lane. With his slow birds and nevermove he has more than enough kiting instruments in his arsenal, and even if they can close the gap he can simply press R.

I despise laning aganist good oris or brands, they just outharass me.
