Get him to to azir or Kog or kayle and he's suddenly strong enough to count as two champs.

On watching the replay the teemo absolutely completely ignored the jungler that was hiding in the bush because we were poking bot pretty well and got merked

If he had fallen back we would have had a huge advantage, because we probably would have taken both of their bot lane almost immediately

what is cool tho is if you and your friends all pick a yordle champ and begin inquiring with the other team about which perspectives they might have seen or not seen yordles from. you'd be surprised at the results!

Yordles are famously short which is why it’s a rare situation indeed when someone may need to look UP to a yordle...

Actual not-a-joke answer: Swain's gameplay as a drain tank was actually not healthy for the game, as, much like old pre-mini-rework vlad, he essentially just stat checked you into oblivion, and either died immediately or was completely invincible. New Swain is a more healthy version of his fantasy of immobilizing people and then eating everyone around you.

Hot take: a handful of characters that exist as stat-checks is good

Swain was a mess aesthetically/thematically. He was supposed to be a grand strategist general/dictator and this was displayed by him being a wobbly old man with a cane and mohawk that sometimes turned into a bird for reasons. Now he looks like a 40k commissar warlock and they matched his aesthetics with other Noxus champs like Sion and Darius which is rad.

The only thing I really don't like about new Swain is his ult animation, it looks goofy as hell to have him floating around perfectly still.

Others said it already but new Swain is too similar to Vlad, so here's to the upcoming Vlad rework where he becomes visually unrecognizable, his Q becomes a skillshot, and healing requires him to catch said skillshot or scoop blood off the ground like an animal. :confuoot:

I liked his conniving Penguin-rear end bird man style. :( I'd be more okay with him if he didn't look like Lucius Malfoy and didn't have a generic smug Noxian voice. (Cool lore hooks on those character-specific lines tho.) I guess it doesn't matter because I'll just keep on using Tyrant anyway.

The visual update is much needed on swain, his original yellow and green look comes from a time where I think riot tried to make the base champions as ugly as possible to try and sell more skins.

I like old bright colors League & conversely I’d say it’s weird to turn everyone into dark color brown grey messes and then charge players 10 dollars to turn them back into neon monstrosities via arcade and pool party skins and so on.

I like new swain fine though.

Most of those games were actually previous to the latest patch. Since then I've just played her twice and got ardent or redemption first, then the other one. I'd rush ardent if your adc has an attack speed steroid and you're ahead though.
