@@orangutan2848 q flash def works the way we imagine (start after flash), prob just slightly off on timing or bug. e flash doesn't work even tho there's a cast time. r flash works, r+q flash also works
I do believe Comic isn't a reverse Rylai because with Rylai you do utility for your team and with cosmic you do utility for only yourself. But sure cdr for more E's does feel decent.
Swain heals with his maximum health when he collects fragments, by level 11 it's 5% max health for every fragment he collects. Every champ he hits with an E or W collects fragments, so, hit spells in a team fight and you are healing a lot. Also... free stats. Health without resists isn't optimal but it's still good. Plenty of spells (and autos) don't scale vs max health.
It’s a situational item. You usually go it, when you get speed from somewhere else, like zilean, but you need to be able to know, that you can rely on that zilean player.
@@amaterasu3609 it actually works really well on Swain its just that a lot of items work really well on swain so. I am of the opinion that half the skill for swain is identifying the right build path for each game (unending, liandrys, void staff, zhonyas, raba, etc..). Torch & cosmic are core though
riftmaker isnt bad item on new swain, it gives haste ap and hp everything reworked swain needs, just other items outclass it, riftmaker is more of a "for fun" item, if you are turbo ahead build it
I'd trade anytime the current multiple demon flares for one flare only while having the old healing... Hate how the champion that is meant to be in the middle of the tf can't keep 2 people distracted for a reasonable amount of time
Blackfire seems so bad first but its the only good mana option item. But i considered that you can go Fimbulwinter Liamdrys into Rylais. Bcs you want to scale anyways with Swain.
If you're planning on fimbulwinter you'd prefer going Tear > Rylai > FW so you can more easily guarantee hitting your E, otherwise FW value is pretty low
Hey Nemesis, unusual question here. When you started playing league did you main a certain champ only? And for how long did you main only one champ before expanding your knowledge to other champs?
The only reason Swain is good right now is that the numbers on his q are overtuned. Swain as a whole feels less interesting and less cohesive. Q is just a crutch right now.
As a Swain main I can say he is a top laner to punish tanks. Swain is not a mage anymore, just buy Liandrys and Zhonyas . That's the core build, after that you can build whatever you want (tank items, mage items) . @14:00 see? He got oneshoted, you want to be tanky on swain, he is not a Hwei.
swains W will feel like the worst spell in the game if the rest of his kit feels bad. Pre changes, this was true. a lot of swain players have complained about this ability for a long time. But now after changes, and the buffs, it feels really good again, because every thing else works.
as a swain otp, im sad with this garbage rework, passive still garbage, W and E still unhittable vs any syndra or other orianna, R even worse than it was before, i was hoping for whole midscope, not E2 is faster and multiple demonflairs. Reksai or Taliyah got all of the abilities changed
Keep the swain gameplay coming 🗣️🔥
11:00 Q flash: it looked like Q went off from the starting point before you flashed.
that means even tho Q have a cast time, it works like it doesn't or is it just a bug

Only certain champs go Rylai in mid I feel. Swain doesn’t apply it reliably enough without being melee range, cosmic better for swain MID lane.
I've been seeing people go Rylais Fimbulwinter for a tanky cheap build. It's good if your team already has damage.
@@ruthusflabbergast1263 Yeah maybe. Neme a movespeed fiend tho
The thing is that cosmic is more self sufficient and easier to apply
Its demon time baby
what do you click to show abilities range like that?
shift+ability for normal cast
I havn't tried it, but prior to the rework we could q flash on swain
2:30 but I thought most people said that health isn't that good of a stat?

@@stevenb3854 I see...
Would riftmaker be very good then even if you didn't have any resistances?
this means with conq the healing kinda garbage too?
Conq's healing is alright since it's based on damage. They nerfed R's healing base value into being half of what it was basically.
8:16 Swain passive is bugged or what?
Damn I'm glad he showed the loading screen. I thought it was me or one of the other players but its just like that.
Nemesis how does ur font in league look so different
korean font
seeing people say "go rift maker" makes my head hurt

Current Rift maker works on Tanks with AP scaling not Swain
Riftmaker is unironically not bad, however there are just so many items you probably want to build before it

@ semms a good version
Swain doesn’t scale. He is a mid game champ that is strongest at 2/3 items so playing for late will make you lose games
@@re_venant. Fimbulwinter doesn't proc shield on ranged anyways so it makes no difference
@brunomiura5553 procs on hard cc now, don't know when they changed it but the melee modifier is only for slows
i miss old swain
These Ashes and Seraphines Rs were so bad omg
That last Seraphine R at 28:20... she missed it, on 2 people, who were rooted... how. It's going wide before Nemesis even pulled with his E

The only reason Swain is kinda blinda pickable and is picable into range. He always was a good counterpick vs 3-5 melee champs. You just cant die.
It doesnt matter if you hold e2, the duration is the same
you can pull just as the root ends, and the pull duration is always .25 seconds so you can extend the cc from 1.5 to 1.75~
Its a minimal difference but you can extend cc

hi
nemesis youtube comments make my head hurt
I miss old q and old ult the most
Fr I was a Diamond swain main back in s6 and I started playing again and I’m like what happened to my favorite champ :(

Old Swain was so much more fun and better..
You cant e flash either. Lost a lead because of it.

riftmaker > liandry, no?
No
No

cannot understate how shit R feels now
I love how no one talk about the fact that passive got insanely nerfed when you cant pull people from all cc anymore, just your E now.
@jozefjozefpukancik260 i mean. that was like two years ago man 😭
@@jozefjozefpukancik260 yeah but now you can multi pull (not often but possible), back then it was just one person pull
@@adripekas9682 yeah ik but i used to otp him back in the day
wow le first
Idk Swain feels pretty mediocre
i feel like he's better botlane cause some mid matchups r annoying
Rilay is overrated people
Cdr + movement speed > slow
Just hit your spells (E), and push sidelines with your 7CD W.
Kolejny pick podjebany od legendy xajka
tak, bo nikt nigdy nie gral Swainem przed nim XDDD "kolejny" fanik tego zjebusa. Znaczy w sumie ta nikt nie gral, jego pick rate był z 0.6%
co nie zmienia faktu, że ta pizda nie grała tym championem przed reworkiem i teraz dopiero zaczal nim grac, jezeli wogole
