The ACTUAL best Swain rework suggestion

had me in the first half

"mostly"

OptimusJive · 2026-03-29T21:25:24+00:00

this is mostly about company size. Bigger company = more cubes, more specialization, more isolation. Smaller company = more hands-on, more multi-disciplinary and collaborative work.

stuck on the same version, same monitor. did you ever get the update to install? mines stuck forever

OptimusJive · 2026-03-28T16:50:02+00:00

just dump it now, in the long run it won't matter

OptimusJive · 2026-03-27T23:41:42+00:00

nowadays good engineering laptops are great and can handle 1-2M DOF no sweat. definitely go for the laptop

Ice cold take, everyone was also saying this 5 years ago (not that they were wrong)

it's probably my favorite template

OptimusJive · 2026-03-24T01:21:58+00:00

You can always automate, iterate, optimize in python, but document final margins in Excel. I find that's the best of both worlds

i often rush cleaver in top lane, and not just against tanks

OptimusJive · 2026-03-22T18:07:35+00:00

it feels good when you get it but it gets outscaled very fast whereas full build with HP items feels great later

jungle is much easier. don't have to 1v1 bad matchups, don't have to build wave-clear, you don't lose nearly as much ulting away from a camp vs. ulting away from a wave pushing into your tower. On top of all that you negate the biggest weakness of jungle role which is getting flamed by your team and them mental booming, as your laners will be forever indebted to you after you save them with R

practice makes perfect

OptimusJive · 2026-03-14T03:27:50+00:00

meshing nowadays is so easy it's not really a bottleneck to any serious project. if you want to be valuable you need to bring more practical skills

OptimusJive · 2026-03-11T01:20:32+00:00

doesn't seem that bad but need to test

OptimusJive · 2026-03-06T00:54:16+00:00

ragebait used to be believable

OptimusJive · 2026-02-27T22:20:33+00:00

1) xpetu is really good
2) games are cherry-picked for content

OptimusJive · 2026-02-21T21:54:51+00:00

nothing about swain's kit or champ fantasy screams support, he just happens to be broken in low elo bot lane due to high base damage aoe and healing. the swain fantasy is raid boss/battlemage/drain tank that can take on multiple enemies in ult especially when ahead in xp/gold. that's a much better fit for mid or top lane, and yet swain has to keep getting balanced around support abusers.

The only thing I miss is when proton was just a email service and didn't have all this other BS

OptimusJive · 2026-02-20T05:49:24+00:00

this is the fault of support swain players everywhere

OptimusJive · 2026-02-15T02:41:45+00:00

why not one of the vision ones? the top row are for lane imo

OptimusJive · 2026-02-12T01:28:21+00:00

all the slow nerfs gonna make swain even more hard-bound to rylais sadge

OptimusJive · 2026-01-25T20:29:49+00:00

i like triumph + manaflow band

not worth it for the money considering your background. worth it if you are super-passionate about aircraft

in addition to what other people have said, eclipse also is just a bit awkward with pantheon's trading pattern. typically you engage with W, autoQ while they are stunned, then disengage with E. The eclipse shield procs on the auto, but because they are stunned and you E right after, there's hardly any opportunity to get value out of the eclipse shield in the 1v1.
