Swain.

[quote=ArthurTheHammer]I play swain sometimes and I like to go for more of a dot build and magic pene. Void staff, liandrys, sorc boots, Rabadon's Deathcap, and then a bit tanky with spirit visage, and Archangels staff. But I alter this build depending on how the game is going. Overall Swain is a solid champ and fun to play. If you can land your stun, and hit your combo with ignite you can get an easy kill at a lvl 3.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Archangel's staff is not a great item for Swain. Sure he can charge it decently, but not as fast as someone who really likes it like Ezreal, Yorick or Singed. Too long of a time investment for too little of a payoff.[/quote]

[quote=Joshified]^ I concur. Plus he scales better with the CDR of Athenes and the health of RoA. So they are better in terms of a mana regenertion item. C:[/quote]

[quote=luizdeh]He eats some of my mid-laners for breakfast. Honestly, I feel like [[swain]] is a character that requires the opposing laner to make mistakes or not know the matchup. If you land your stun, it's my fault. If you don't and get away, it's my fault. Some can punish and get the kill on the mistakes, some can survive the early/late DoT, others make for a stalemate. He's a pain in the bottom. Don't get me wrong, he's strong and underplayed. But his lack of mobility and DoT damage make for a steep-ass learning curve.[/quote]
