It isnt like you need survivability all that much since you are unkillable in lane at 6, and the cdr is awesome. Maybe it's because I'm awful with Swain, but my impression would be that it's because Swain get's totally bullied around before 6 otherwise. | ||

Plus you don't need anything from utility tree if you manage mana carefully (except the blue buff extension which would be nice). Partly it helps you harass with e-auto in lane. Partly it gives you a modest chunk of additional health. Partly Strength of Singed is still imba. And that 4% decrease feels much stronger than it sounds. | ||

Since MF (i think since her) most of the champions were considered absolute garbage after release and even though Riot didn't change too much afterwards players simply discovered how to play them. Actually this rule doesn't only apply to champions released post-MF. Eve? Malphite? Gragas? Old Janna? Not to mention back in times when nobody played junglers and ww was considered the worst champion ever (because he disappears in jungle, allowing his ally to die 50 times 1v2 and then comes out of the jungle 20 mins into the game with a BF sword doing nothing) Swain wasn't considered mediocore because he had bad skills/stats, Swain was considered mediocore because noone knew how to play him well. | ||

Actually swain is a pretty big bully if you can land nevermore. QWE is like 3 trillion damage if you land them in the most optimal order | ||

QWE is like 3 trillion damage if you land them in the most optimal order Then maybe I'm getting unlucky facing lanes that start boots first, and am totally awful at landing Nevermore on targets with boots. Q slow would help, except Q has 550 range, and plenty of people can kite you from longer range than that. | ||

It was completely and utterly frustrating. His lane presence and sustainability are huge - he lands one Q and the pain train cometh. I hate that bastard. Prolly buying him soon. | ||

But do I deserve to be 1000? God no! 1500? Even less so. But the biggest problem is that ranked games are more about adjusting to trolls, feeders who think they have nothing to lose, and butthurt nerds rather than trying to play a proper game. So in the end, the ranked system is pretty shitty. It prevents serious, competitive players from practicing and allows trolls and feeders to sometime ride on other people's coat tail. EDIT - Lucky 7 post. I am expecting something good out of this. | ||

Never, if you start with Doran Shield you can Q harrass every time it's up and get a few autoattacks off as well, and after lvl 2 you E Q with the same harrass and with ignite that kills from 70% hp. Swainn denies Vlad from lvl 2. | ||

The key is being patient and have a thick skin and you'll eventually get the elo you deserve. The trolls vs normal ppl-ratio will level itself out the longer u keep at it :> I don't know if HoN had any solution to their ranked system? | ||
