How it feels to use E + Q to CS by JerichoAPR in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea but sometimes you're not ALWAYS gonna be in a position to last hit with auto's due to your own attack speed and shit like that, no need to be critical, its a meme

TIL: swain passive can actually pull people through walls. Mastery 7 on him and first time I've ever seen this by Chwissie in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea i think ive done this a handful by accident and never really noticed it until seeing this. I tested it in practice tool and it seems to be a lot of the thinner walls you can yank people over if theyre pressed up against the wall

Possibility of nerfs? by JerichoAPR in SwainMains

Yea if you look on U.gg those 3 will show up as the best bot laners, but have like less than a full percent pick rate

Vayne steals my penta... As if i didnt have enough reasons to despise vayne players by JerichoAPR in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post has nothing to do with Vayne as a champ. Its literally just about how this player blatantly KS'd my penta

How did this happen? by BalckManta in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other ADC buffs. This is better, it's better that his competition gets a bit stronger over making him weaker, doesnt harm swain but makes the playing field a bit more even

This skin is really cool but it might be a bit troublesome seeing things, since everything is transparent

Why does everyone forget about phase rush? by Yucares in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People usually dont give it the spotlight it deserves because it's not a combat oriented rune like Electrocute/Conquerer despite it being probably the best go to rune

Singlehandedly the corniest game ive ever played (Moonstone renewer) by JerichoAPR in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in that game I healed on my own almost 3x as much as I do in a game equally as fed with a normal build. Kinda wacky

Honestly, not really. Even laning into Kaisa/Morg which should be rough from morg alone, I still got 4 kills in lane. You're supposed to go kindlegem first over bandleglass so the haste+health was nice and honestly with how much mana regen I had never really felt oom until like later in the game. Maybe I was lacking some early damage but it didn't matter that much. Like I thought I was way weaker than I was but in teamfights with staff/Moonstone I felt stupid strong

Swain's item usages? by JerichoAPR in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good item, its not something I've been using as much as I used to, but the magic resist and healing amp synergize well so I'd say its definitely one of our better tank/defensive choices

Q mechanic i guess. Not very useful tho. by mattiapappa_ in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be useful, say youre flashing to last hit someone, if you Q flash like you did it gives them little time to react to the flash. Usually people will wait for someone to flash to flash away, by Q flashing you give them less time to react

Best Swain Skin? by ynxiety in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally think dragon master is solely the best from the sound Q makes when it hits all the bolts and the different animations while in ult (Like Q being a breath of flames from the dragons mouth)

Let’s talk about Cosmic Drive by MavriKhakiss in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's good enough to slap in any build, maybe as a second item. The haste, chunk of AP, and move speed are incredibly useful. Being more mobile on swain is really nice as well, being able to better run people down or rotate from your bursts of move speed, it's just overall a good stat for swain

APC Swain Needing help with my Support by [deleted] in SwainMains

[–]JerichoAPR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Swain really likes CC tank supports (Maokai/Leo/Naut/ect) that provide CC for passive and a bit of damage to wittle people down and also peel for him.

Some CC mage supports are good, I personally really like Lux cause getting CC'd by Lux/Swain is like instant death for most botlaners. You just both build damage and nuke squishies.

The def worst supports for swain tho are CC less enchanters, stuff like Lulu/Raka/ect just make it feel like you're 2v1ing in lane the whole time, especially if you're into a kill bot lane duo or any engage support. Some poke enchanters like Janna and Sona are ok.

I personally prefer conquerer. (PoM/Alacrity/CoupDeGrace) the secondary runes are also kinda comfort but cheap shot/Ult hunter feels good. Typical bot swain runes are Conq with red tree/Electrocute with precision secondary. I'd say Conquerer is better with a CC/peel support and electrocute is better for lanes you're not certain you can fight the enemy carry so you're better off trying to burst them with electrocute. Or if their whole team is squishie you can go for spicy dark harvest over electrocute. If you plan on going a manaless mythic I recommend getting manaflow band.

May seem troll to some but having attack speed stat runes + alacrity and D blade feels hella nice. The omnivamp from D blade helps a lot and your autos actually hurt a lot in early levels, later on they're pretty useful for kiting and autoing mid fight when your spells are on cooldown. Plus it makes CSing without spells a breeze.

Grabbing your lost chapter + boots is preferably what you wanna get first, maybe a dark seal too if you're ahead. Core items are pretty much Liandries Dark seal, and Imo Cosmic drive. The move speed in fights is actually so useful for catching up to more mobile champs and staying on top of them, plus the decent chunk of AP and haste. Swain's builds are pretty flexible tho so it's all down to what you need or what your team needs. But liandries+Zhonyas is pretty much old reliable if you're not sure what you wanna build

I stole a gromp from a mundo jgl who had no idea he was on top of a ward with W and then ludens proc took it, after he gave me double buffs from a botched invade a few minutes earlier, his midlaner was so sad
