Re: League of Legends

I bought Swain the other day since I had a lot of IP.

Is it me, or is he stupidly OP?

Never having played him, I simply followed this guide:
»www.solomid.net/guides.p ··· ld-guide

I pretty dominate mid since then, except for Kassadin, whom I now make sure is banned. Kass is my true counter. Fizz, Ahri, Elise, Brand, Katharina, Gragas... these are the champs I faced so far and dominated them all.

If you know how to manage mana, Swain's ult is just so OP. Heals for 75% of dmg to champions? At level 6, I usually am guaranteed a kill if I can land a stun.

His E amplifies ignite damage by 20% generally making a max level ignite together with e hit for 492 (410x1.2) instead of the usual 410, which is like an extra tick of ignite squeezed into the same amount of time that ignite lasts, just for example. A full combo at level 6 with ignite is a guaranteed kill.

Not sure why he is underplayed... he is super strong and very useful since he has both an aoe stun and a slow. Properly built, he's very tanky (near 2.8K HP, armor and MR in the 220+ range) with around 500AP. With blue, he can tank a whole team with his ult (which prioritizes champions now) and dish enough damage to turn the fight around very quickly. I've gotten many triples and one quadra so far.

The best about him is that he is so deceptively tanky, people don't expect it, and by the time they realize, it's too late.

Ignite will deff hurt your ult tho, so a simple summoner spell or morello's (spelling) and your reduced by 50%. Still wont hurt that much, buts its a lot. As malz against swain, your birds dont attack while my ult is on you. Also, i thought it was just a snare....not a stun as its aoe. At lvl 6 for me laning against a swain its silence, pool dot ult. Not a single raven will fly out even if your already in form...But thats just one champ vs swain as well.

These look like nice changes. Now can we please get the pounce to go where I want and not right in front of her.

Single handily the most annoying thing about nid.

Hows everyone preseason going, anyone else dare enter the ranked que?
