How the **** do you NOT hypercarry as Swain? I could have 1v3'd without breaking a sweat, and I could have said the same for most of the other games. In team-fights I usually just walk through their team giving no ****s and kill their ADC while melting 2 others of their team at the same time. Zhonya's if I get too low and continue melting, sustain half my HP back and GG.

Why is Swain currently unpopular / regarded as a bad pick?


well because as you said if he falls behind he is on worser spot than most Tier 1-2 picks
also he falls off a bit late game(not that he is useless just like he aint a godlike machine of Doom)
that being said he is underrated though also get Tyrant Swain and RULE THE YOLO QUE WITH A BIRD OF STEEL

I am satisfied with today, in fact, satisfied with the past week.



I joined this 26 people division today and I'm already the 4th highest in my division in terms of LP, at 78. Tomorrow I will probably hit Gold II and unlikely but possibly, I COULD hit Plat before the week is over.

Also, ended season 2 30 wins positive at 1200 Elo. Currently 30 wins positive at what would be ~1700 Elo. Man my placements went horrible in season 2 lmao.

Swain falls off harder then most APs, cant 100-0 **** if you aren't ahead or if they build ANY MR, gets destroyed if the enemy team has multiple healing debuffs/ignites, hard to last hit with him, only one real instant burst, on the easier side to gank, more reliance on blue then most mids, etc etc.

He isn't bad and I'd say hes a tad underrated, but theres definitely reasons he isn't popular.

Botrk rush on zed after a brut is fine.

Swain is played so infrequently that most people have no idea what he does. So they triple-dive a Swain with his ult on and... well...

Also that crow continuing to kill people after I die have given me some kills I didn't deserve back when I tried him out.

Broken broken broken broken broken BROKEN.



2nd day in this division and I'm already #1 at 95 LP.



The best wins to losses I've had so far in season 3 was 14/4 as Talon. If I win 1 more as Swain I'll surpass even that. Plat also seems very very easy to reach from here. It's so close I can smell it!

I cannot comprehend why he's so under-played. Yes, he's very blue reliant, no, he can't insta-gib, no, he isn't a good farmer. But WHO CARES when you can win 1v3, nevermind 5v5????? I haven't even lost a single team-fight in games within which I was doing simply average, it's ridiculous.

In that last game, our entire team was doing great at the start and we were 11/2, and yet they made so many mistakes that we ended up 15/11. I told everyone to just stick with me and let me carry them, and pretty much nothing more went wrong after that. We just continued dominating them even though at least 3 of us had been shut down. ( yep I derp'd and died once too, last death of the game though ) I mean total, utter domination.

I'm so tanky that focusing me is futile, yet if I don't die I'll single-handedly melt their entire team. Their ADC is also always aware that getting hit by my snare means I'll kill them, so they have to play extremely defensively rather than focus on bringing me down as quickly as possible.

And supp buying Wota = me regenerating literally over 60% of my HP during Zhonya's.

Broken. Just so broken.

Edit: Guess when I started playing Swain? :D

Thanks to TinyStar, Jhoi, Xiaowi, Virus, Bard and Arcana(eww)...for my signatures!

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

swain is a beast...but he definitely isn't broken. I agree with satella though. and the zhonya's + ult people just don't get it. I love some swain....I have seen plenty of people suck with him though.

I admit my mind is probably greatly exaggerating how good he is, but I still maintain he's very strong, much more than people give him credit for. :>
