...... cool story that leblanc must have REALLY sucked ***...... and thx for getting 2 accounts to downvote me even when i didn't..... also you can only kill people when you get the archangel staff as i said before.... i noticed when i got the archangel staff i was just killing people besides the other swain...... and swain can always take on ranged ad carries, in fact ALL casters can kill a ranged ad caster, list me one that doesn't. If I am wrong kk w.e. and I do not suck as Swain, just the rod of ages vs. the archangel staff on same champ the one with more hp wins. And ironically most mages go rod of ages, I am a tad bit curious what the Leblanc went, i bet she went squishy with mejai, am i right? Oh ya and just a thing about me before i comment on people's guides I look at their profile.

My results were this:
Me : 9/6/7 120 cs, had archangel, boots, amp,belt,blasting wand.
Their Swain: 5/5/2 116 cs, had boots, rod of ages, and spirit visage
Only reason we won was cause their bottom feed out cait/ali and they just kept getting the enemy swain off guard. and Our kennen on top just kept killing their riven. I was ganked 3 tiems mid by voldibear, died once (funny story, i had to used ghost to avoid voldibear and their swain's flash nevermove.) but i kept dying to their swain cause he had more hp and ap than i did.
And when i mention boots i mean sorcer's treads.

Try and survive a Warwick ult.... armor is kind of needed and remember Nevermove can be dodged if you don't Decrpify first. Also without Flash if Jarvan cast catacalysm, how are you gonna get out?? Or a nasty Flash Annie and summons timbers in your face? So even if you are a good swain there is a chance of the unlucky counter pick... should jst always include the Hourglass incase you get caught somehow.

Well i suppose it depends on how you see Swain as.....i think of him as a tanky ap caster, the way you build him makes it look twards pure ap.... you can't really 1v2 anybody early game cause until you got your Archangel Staff, the only ap source comes from your masteris/runes and some magic pen from boots.... With Rod of Ages you have some good ap when you get Blasting Rod and a truck load of hp, mana, and ap. The 10 minute thing doesn't matter that much you just get a 2 crystals and an amp tome, which is also good but the base stats on Rod of Ages is pretty good to start with. I honestly think Tear of the Goddess] is usless on Swain cause of his passive.. Thats just my idea oh and ps put your guide into word doc, there are a lot of spelling mistakes such as Con #1 the "week". Just a tip.

All these things m8 you say i have concluded them at my guide.I say that Jarvan causes you great trouble and either you pick flash or hourglass.When a close range champion hunts you you just leave Nevermore behind you m8 :)...you cant miss it.Also i said what items is a must.4 items i pointed and then you decide what more will you buy.plz take a closer look at my guide :(

As i said at my build you can pick hourglass but bruisers cant hurt you cause if they do damn you are not good with Swain.You have 2 skills to protect you from close range characters.And i didnt make 3 accounts my buddy at lol trolling me. :S

First off where the heck is all your armor? you are going to die to ranged ad carries and brusiers.... 2nd you don't need so much mana.... kind of good to have some health early game in case there is Annie to take down all your hp.... and 3rd.... did you create 3 of these accounts just to make yours look better?
