They appear to have linked to a Beyond the Rift episode to discuss the Swain update with lots of swearing right t the start of the video.

So they making lost chapter build into more items and taking it away from morellos. I'm actually ok with this. It makes grievous wounds not perma in the game thus more a active choice to make. Lost chapter is still a must buy but options are a bit more open.

Really glad they're addressing the bizarre role that Liandry's is playing where it's both good against squishies, but also good against tanks, and also gives you HP for some reason.

I wonder with the Void nerf and Deathcap buff if Deathcap will now outdamage Void in more situations.

Spellbound Orb sounds ridiculously strong, the active gives it 150 AP and a massive MS boost, champs like Cass are going to have fun with this.

CD has become extremely cheap and easy to get over the last few seasons, idk if that's a good change.

In fact, reading all this stuff makes me get a feeling that high DPS mages are going to make a comeback. Could you imagine trying to run away from Spellbound Orb, Liandries, Twin Shadows Cass?

Really interested in what midlane is now if not DPS mages. Apart from Galio and Zoe maybe.

So I guess there are only green and purple jungle items now?

As I read it that one is going to be the only jungle item, so it's just purple, no green.
GP and klepto not being touched seems a bit strange, same goes for the Master Yi buffs. Apart from that it seems like it was just a tweaking patch, although they probably still need to address the ADC meta at some point.

Should be more struggle but still doable.

As much as I feel like Riot missed the mark on what makes me think of Swain, and they missed by a lot, this new champion looks like he could be a lot of fun.

Based on the PBE games I saw streamed he seemed busted. So now I need to ban both swain and Nunu. Unless the hotfix was enough to keep Nunu under control.

PBE gameplay is crap for judging balance. Team balance is bad and the players are terrible. There's a reason why someone was able to make a swain montage where he ran around killing recalling players with the new W, and it's not because W is hard to dodge.

People need to remember that the majority of players on PBE are there because everything is free. They don't exactly play with a mentality of getting better or testing things.

Or fans literally inting to their favorite content creator which is why pbe videos make every champion look busted
