so ive played the game for a while, im level 19 now. Ive spent my last few days working up the IP to buy malzahar, who I played a while ago, when he was free, and wasnt too good with him, but wanted to learn how to play him. recently, since swain has become free, ive played him a bunch and loved him. Swain seems more durable, better in team fights, and fun to play. So now im conflicted. Im not looking for the easier champion to play. Im still having a hard time decideding if any of you would want to give your thoughts as to who i should unlock, i would appreciate it a lot.


Thanks in advance

Malz's ultimate is stronger and can be really useful as a CC to interrupt the ults of, say, Nunu, Miss Fortune, or Warwick. Swain is more tanky and has decent CC but no real stun. Overall I'd say Malzahar is stronger but Swain survives longer - it's really up to you. Who do you like more? Who do you feel would be more fun to play?

I dont really know, i wish malz was free too, or knew he was going to be free next week or something. I feel like swain was moe fun, just because ive done better with him than i did with malz. I was just going to base it off of whoever gets a 50% off skin sale first since ive got just enough rp for that. Thanks for the help though

I personally don't like Malzahar's ultimate since it leaves him stunned as well for the duration and can easily be cleansed away by QSS.

He also doesn't deal as much raw burst damage as some other casters, since he's more DoT oriented.

Swain on the other hand has an *AWESOME* AoE root that's spammable during teamfights, but his damage is also a bit lackluster and he can't silence like Malzahar.

Hard decision and I personally can't help you choose.
