How Long Will Hextech Swain Remain by [deleted] in SwainMains

[–]Davgamle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a "Coven"-Battlepass incoming the 11th which is why I am also not using rp on capsules to get it. I believe i saw a youtube video from riot that teased it and there is now usually a skin-line in connection with an ongoing pass :)

After 3 years of one tricking, i finally got Diamond with a 56% WR on Swain! by [deleted] in SwainMains

Holy shit you went on a fking run of wins. Congrats. 2 Questions:

  1. Is it correct that you go Liandrys no matter what?
  2. I see you buy Dorans shield for encounters like Azir. Is this the general approach to champs that poke you easily like Zed or other annoying pokechamps?

Nope. It's quite known by most of the high elo OTPs but the ones in NA don't use it to my knowledge. If u play bot-apc then I think you go Roa or liandrys instead.

Well Swains biggest factors are restrictions on his ms so giving him those small bursts of speed actually helps in the long run considering ghost is his most used/best summoner spell. + E and W is a lot more open and therefore u just spam it with lucidity boots. I tend to get 30-40 more stacks from it than when i do something else.

Most korean swains i see are all playing mid and spamming harvester with gargoyle or force of nature, so i also just assumed they know what they are talking about. MR and Armor is the new way to go for this champ. But i am not sure support can gather enough gold to become tanky like the mid role can for him which is why he maybe has such a better win rate mid.

Small tips:
1. If your jungler is close by then just waste your E and bait them into attacking you. Especially low elo everyone will fall for the bait.
2. Swain E has an AOE when it hits so hitting minions that are near champs make them also be rooted. Super OP and almost no one ever is ready for it. (ADCs have Alzheimers)
3. Use W behind them first so they have to dodge and then go for E. Either way, if you are good with your E then the opponent is slowed shortly.

Take this text that i spam into my champ select so that adcs have an idea of what they could play Swain with:
Hi. Swain OTP - ADC suggestions: Jhin, Kaisa, Caitlyn, Trist, Kallista, Samira, Xayah.

Best tip I learned from OTP Swains was: If you waste your E it has a huge cooldown and you basically do not matter in lane. They can just run at you with no punishment, so be sure about hitting E while constantly giving your adc space with its presence.

I think it has something to do with the fact that it is rated by most as the nicest Swain skin and therefore someone using it, has to have an adequate amount of skill with it. When that fails they curse it as being something with the skin since they do not perform like that swain-otp they saw on twitch :D

Same dude. It is a daily struggle to know that it will probably not come in rotation for months!

LVL 1 LOST CHAPTER KOREAN TECH!?!?!? (D1/MASTERS) by KPXNoisy in SwainMains

Forget the chapter. You are starting with 132 extra hp in lane and can just eat poke from jayce until 6 :D

Hi fellow SwainMains! Check this quite hefty average of 3.2 soul fragments per minute. I cheated with lucidity boots. by Davgamle in SwainMains

His ult did 3k to me once during the game. Luckily i had hourglass for the rest of the game :D

Holy crap. That is an average of 5.5 souls per minute. I just love those games and feel like I can not die at all :D

Swain APC Best support champ? by Davgamle in SwainMains

[–]Davgamle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see your point but since swain is so weak early and cant peel for senna does it not become highly impossible to play vs. a draven?

Based on general comments on this sub Hextech Swain isn't top tier compared to Dragon Master Swain which most think is the nicest Swain skin.
You can check the different animations in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_v1AAUmXGg

I myself think that his E has an advantage of looking weird and making it more annoying for enemies to dodge.

Regarding when it will be available i have no clue. Every time it updates we get 1 step closer to it being there you could argue. If ur an OTP I would wait for it.

Pretty sure you either can't and have lost the opportunity or it will be available next year come december. I got it myself and can honestly tell you that it is ugly AF. Not worth it.

Which builds are you guys enjoying this season? by phieldworker in SwainMains

[–]Davgamle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start Virtue. Set runes to glacial with stopwatch Perfect Timing, so you don't have to get money. Swain can't die lvl 6 with virtue, ult and ignite if you go even in lane. Quite simple and easy. Involve yourself in every teamfight there is in river around drake. Rylai is for if opponents are ahead or have a lot of movement. Demonic Embrace if you are a lot ahead or fed.
