Swain healing on R scales off ap, so building ap heals more than support items. Hell, even spirit visage isnt worth healing wise. For max heal u would need riftmaker, seraphs and full ap afterwards
Mathematically visage increase his healing more than a single AP item and only gets better the more ap he gets since it all funnels into each other. AP > more healing > visage > increases healing further. The sup items are questionable though, I will not disagree. The only sup item that builds out of idol that would really give him more healing than just a full ap/drain tank build would be moonstone because it has such a massive percentage increase (same logic as LDR > collector) but it’s honestly so bad on Swain unless he’s duo laning so
I’ve actually been waiting to see more influencers show Swain some love. Looking forward to trying this build in some of the others have seen in the comments
As a Swain main, I can confirm that Glacial + Everfrost Swain is a killer combo. I like to run it when my team doesn't have much CC. Otherwise I like to run DH to compensate for Swain's comparatively weak late game. Going Conquerer could've been nice, to fully embrace the "Vampire Swain" theme. And Conquerer Swain is pretty strong anyway. But First Strike looks pretty enticing, I'll have to try that...
Comparatively weak late game? I’m assuming you only play Swain sup, because Swain actually scales incredibly well into mid-late to late game thanks to his passive stacks and free ult hp, you just have to build around it. Conqueror Swain doesn’t really heal all that much (all vamp is heavily reduced on AoE abilities, so most vamp is nearly useless on Swain and you’re better off buying into/choosing healing increases like visage and revitalize) but it’s insane for a more dps oriented late game Swain. Free 60 AP at 18 is literally a full item worth of AP and it’s easy to stack and keep stacked thanks to his low q cd. Primary problem is his q chugs mana, but fimbulwinter and the seraph’s changes are really attractive for itemization on Swain so...
when ur coming out of base into lane be sure to use ur w, especially in times like when voli was getting chased by teemo. legit could save his life because teemo will avoid the w.
Idk what was worse: the number of screw ups against that Teemo in lane phase or the constant confusion over Morde pulling people into his realm throughout the video.
And calling Jhin Kindred, and not realizing Jhin had GA instead of Zhonyas, and building useless items on Swain and switching to Zhonyas at 35 minutes thinking he's a genius.
love to see the swain appriciation; also heads up first strike isnt as valuable as glacial or conqueror is. Electrocute isnt as good on him this season so try to stick to conqueror or glacial.
As a Swain main, If I am suport. That temmo mid labe was a horor, you chold have killed him 100 times over /\ drunk Version. Translation : As a Swain main suport / mid. That temmo mid lane was a horor, you had the chance to kill him 100 times over. Missing a alot of easy grabs and not going in. Swain is a battle mage so don't be scared to engage a temmo, your E, Q, ignite can kill him + a few atos and I saw you tried to do, E, Q,,W combo but pull it from W area.
first strike is terrible especially on swain since he doesn't have a lot of burst early, since it scales with time you don't get that much gold till mid/late game and gold advantage is critical early, also you end up losing out on gold because you're focused at proccing it versus just last hitting, the damage increase is pretty shit would only be good on like veigar, for this video conq synergy with riftmaker or grasp would have been better
@@nikoraasu6929 everyone ran it for a week now I see it once a game max, were you there when klepto/dark harvest/ thunderlords first came out/ or lethal tempo rework/ or when conq first came out, literally if it was busted people would spam it like that. It's dog. It's like klepto but worse because it gives you 0 advantage early, the damage boost is only good late game and with burst champs, and once you start getting a lot of gold you're already near full build unless you're behind, klepto at least gave you an early advantage. the rune is like decent on maybe 5% of champs but it's definitely not optimal besides maybe on gp.
You NEED zhonyas on Swain. It's his most important item as you can make your ulti last longer and do a ton of damage in teamfights. Also gives armor which makes you tanky
How can your game be so fluid with 60 fps, any advierte if I want a smooth experience but grt 200 to 150 fps but for some reason doesn't look this smooth?? Pleasee hel0p
I'm a swain main honestly lvl 2 W E is better cuz you can stack more souls and while rooted if you time it you can land the w and for the love of God max e not q XD
@@Mrkoala2211 Q will only do max dmg if you hit all the bolts; on paper you could try leveling E > W > Q to make a beefy swain with soul fragments, in that theory, your c/d's are a bit longer but more impactful going into midgame where as Q max makes you feel a bit more like a shocktrooper with a scorpion pull. Both can be good, think it depends completely on the matchup because leveling E against mid fizz sounds like it would feel bad.
E max sucks. It doesn't reduce the cooldown and the damage only goes up by 35 per level. Also in an extended fight you will Q more times than you E anyway, so even the base damage increaase is less impactful in practice. There's a reason why 67% of swains max E last. I also have no idea why y'all talking about soul fragments. There's no difference in amount of soul fragments gathered between level 1 E and level 5 E.

Nah visage was fine but he should go demonic rabbadon last 2 items

@Joon Park that too
If U really want to Max Out healing moonstone Spirit full ap
Tip: when pressing R on Swain, imaging slurp sounds makes him more fun to play
Same goes for fiddlesticks
🤨
So ur saying he drinks people?
If it just play his theme out when r it will be more cool
Shh don’t spread the secret swain technique
It’s a blessing to see swain not as a supp
Ikr xd
As a Swain main, I can say I've been waiting on this one. Thank you so much for this Pants, as well as whoever recommended it.
Same man
I’ve actually been waiting to see more influencers show Swain some love. Looking forward to trying this build in some of the others have seen in the comments
Every time you pronounce Archangels wrong, the inside hurty go boom.
As a Swain main this gives me so much pain

Pants: Today we're gona be watching wait-
Me: Youre not technically wrong.
Remember when swain was bird man? I kinda miss those days
I like how morde tried to correct pants' pronunciation of archangel
at 12:30
6:52 this is me all day screaming
I just wanna say I always appreciate the FF soundtracks you use. Don’t stop!
I like how you have starting over aggressive mix playing at about the 5:30 mark lol nice choice
This poor Morde. Being polite and helpful the whole time but got completely ignored sadg.
Moral of this video: NEVER play Swain without zhonya. No matter how fed you are.
that is one of the best teemo I have seen
love to see the swain appriciation; also heads up first strike isnt as valuable as glacial or conqueror is. Electrocute isnt as good on him this season so try to stick to conqueror or glacial.
"Let me get on my knees" - Pants 2021
I always do the uber vamp swain, try conqueror because with your ult in a teamfight it stacks in 1 second
swain ult will only give 2 stacks of conq
"killj hin, no one esim aters" - Pants are Dragon 12/26/2021
I'm playing glacial with swain and it's pretty good! I also go everfrost so I can pull them, then everfrost, walk up to them and q
I was a pleasant surprise to hear "a long fall"
Glacial on swain *chefs kiss* its awesome
Zhonia's is broken on swain once he's got some AP, as he can be 1hp and heal to full during stasis if there's a team fight going on around him
Zhonyas is good you can keep heling whilst its active through passive and damagr as well
Nooooo nowwww everyone’s gonna start banning/stealing my swain again😭😭😭😭
You should have left this one in the shadows so only real swain mains know
Tip: if you wait to your ult to get in the max level you can heal more and do more damage with R2
Not really new but it's my favorite swain build I rock every game on him because I like drain tanking
as a Swain main, this pleases me
How I miss original Swain.
Facts, chasing down Singeds was my favorite thing about old Swain.
did pants just call meme "me me" haha
As a Swain main, If I am suport.
That temmo mid labe was a horor, you chold have killed him 100 times over

@@rayhuul 🤣😅man's stoned out of his mind watching pants
@@rayhuul well the other guy was right. Stoned out of my mind on tylanol and 3 cups of coffe
@@--yt7483 Well yes, but,,,, maybe
Arch sounds like "ark" from Latin "arcus" (bow) or Greek "archei" (beginning). :D
Dude they could just put Roa back into the game as a mythic and just make it stack to 15 and mythic passive give mana. Actually perfect item
The bet Combo is E, then W in front of them and pull them into the W with the E, then Q
Tip: Swain can play top support and AD
ITS PRONOUNCED ARKANGEL!!!!
I lol when I hear archhhh angel

First Strike is great lmao idk what you on about. This rune should be abused until it's nerfed, especially on champs like Kayn

Should have went demonic into warmogs
Day one of asking full protective malzahar
that might be the worst swain build i have ever seen. glad you had fun though
Final fantasy 14 song in background ^^
Super healing build needs different runes: Dark Harvest>ToB>Choice>Healing ---- Conditioning>Revitalize
YOUR HAIR BACK , HOW
this thumbnail 💀

why does he have orb i dont know maybe swain voli and mort have something to do with it?
18:24 Nice laugh
you go max heal swain but then ho first strike instead of conq
wow
Instead of first strike with that build go conqueror more healing and dmg on the ult and they just cant kill you
How can your game be so fluid with 60 fps, any advierte if I want a smooth experience but grt 200 to 150 fps but for some reason doesn't look this smooth?? Pleasee hel0p
