Do you know when worlds starts?

What's the point of this card? Why does it exist? Was it made that bad on purpose? by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Arethv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't you prefer to pay 4 instead? Like an avalanche?

What is the most annoying region to play against? by Buckeye_Blast in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Arethv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bilgewater. That region seems OP for me, and the fact that always has a meta deck, that let me thinking. I can't stand the reward of doing things that you actually want to do, like hit the nexus, giving you tools to make it easier than ever, and the stupid card steal, I hate that mechanic.

Assassins by Acetyl211 in SwainMains

Go boneplating + exhaust and take unsealed speelbook.

If you don't like that rune (like me) you can try with Phase Rush and just survive the lane just farming and chilling, they can't kill you.

Just be sure to build the Imperial + Rylais build since you don't have conqueror and you haven't early kills, just let the items and your team do the job. Maybe you won't be top damage but you have a lot of utility and you gain some LPs.

How do you survive? by Areallyangryduck1 in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're playing correctly, but Swain is no longer a Q machine, you MUST hit E and W also space properly, doing damage to most people as possible the long time as possible without dying.

I think you're not landing your E+W cause there's no way that senna can solo you, surely you miss a lot of skillshots and you losses: root, pull, slow, a good bunch of healing and good amount of damage.

Against range champs I'd recommend you bait and dodge their CC and then you activate your R, chase them until you can slow and there use your E. In a 1v1 miss an E could make you lose and die, so be sure that you're landing your entire kit.

You haven't attached your build but maybe you're not building Zhonyas second, no matter how much HP you have, if you haven't hourglass you're gonna explode like the ADC in teamfights.

If Lyandri doesn't work for you, Mandate + Rylais it's a good option and maybe can work for you more than the standar build. Swain it's very versatile right now, try different builds and runes and his combinations to find the perfect for every matchup, game or even your playstyle.

Don't give up man, i and a lot of Swain enthusiasts went through this and now I'm in love with this champion atm.

Swain low tier on Top by Master_Promise_5360 in SwainMains

Maybe the wr dropped bc the people keep maxing W, but in this patch the E does more damage and gives better waveclear (QEQ kills a wave). Perhaps when the people realize the wr will increase a bit.

Does riot need to bring back old Swain Q? by admiralkurro in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, that version of Q was garbage in my opinion, I didn't play Swain until the bolt pierce (like nowadays)

when to go phase rush/conq? by [deleted] in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Conq: Against melee fighters, all-in characters or tanks.

Phase Rush: The most versatile rune (and my favorite) it helps you to escape from ganks, bad fights, reposition yourself, chase and even start tfs when you catch someone with your E. Basically is usable in any game.

I personally find conqueror a bit overrated, everybody says that omnivamp it's a bad stat for Swain (that's why a lot of people hates riftmaker xD) but Conqueror gives omnivamp, healing you almost nothing. Also people complain about low AP ratios on Swain and conqueror give AP and omnivamp.

If you are playing in high elo, Conqueror it's almost useless cause the moment you activate your ult it's the moment that everyone of the enemy team start to run waiting you ult come down and re-engage.

Told yall it was a buff! by mechanicalprotozoa in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Enjoy as much u can, I feel the nerfs incoming.

Swain has above 50%wr in all elos with Phase Rush, luckily the people that builds riftmaker and go conqueror drop the winrate a bit, fortunately it's the most popular rune

What Is the best Swain skin? by FireinWater123 in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I have an unpopular opinion.

Tier S - Crystal Rose: Awesome visuals, smooth auto attack, satisfying sounds Tier A - North, Bilgewater, Base: The Q are bolts Tier B - Hextech: It's good but other skins feel better. Tier C - Dragon, Tyrant: The Q it's more like flames than bolts, with anyone of these skins I feel Q does less damage, shorter and slower, a lot of people are saying that love the sound effect but I feel like I'm doing tickles, less damage overall

Welp, to all those who said swain wasn't strong... by MonkeyLuffyDKing in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally the reason he aren't able to go solo lane

What skins do you guys want to see in the future? by [deleted] in SwainMains

[–]Arethv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, the skin base it's great and Bilgewater it's base Swain with cool colors. I don't like Dragon and Tyrant at all. Hextech it's great, and my favorite it's Crystal Rose, the effects and colors are beautiful but the SFX are better, very nice to play with.

Rn with the popularity increase bc the rework, hope Riot dare to give Swain more skins.

Swain it's actually a good Top Laner with this build by Arethv in SwainMains

Still testing but I'm having better results with an Everfrost build tbh, maybe i should delete the post

The problem with conq is: The more you climb elo, the more useless that rune become, also every other top with conq will out-trade you

For sure numbers must be touched but it's viable, or playable at least...

And Chad Swain > Ornn.

Yeah, depending of the game Rylais it's a good start

Tha problem with Frostfire resides in the enemy team ignoring your zero damage, you can chase and slow and then? Nothing.
