Machinegun Karthus being able to build Archangel's Staff please me. But isn't Transcendence going to absolutely mandatory (and insane) on all AP champs now considering Riot looks like they want to drown them in CDR.

Spellbound Orb on Vlad looks absolutely broken. -.-

I don't really understand the item reworks in regards to CD, it basically pushes out champions that don't benefit much from the stat, simply because they can't make use of items as well as others. It's just like the TF meta, where champions who could use every stat were OP, while everyone else was meh.

I personally think that there should not be items in the game that give 20% cdr, items should give 10% the most, some of them even 5%. There should be a real trade off for the ones who want to get to 40% and I don't only mean the mages, cleaver/frozen hearth should not give 20% too

I'm not really a fan of the new scoreboard this patch, it seems more cluttered and confusing.

nah every visual change annoys people, but at the end we get used to it pretty fast. Also the question mark could be useful to fast track junglers when you want to play aggressive or something

That existed before, overall the old one just seems clearer. For example why are summoner icons no longer greyed out when unavailalble?

Since I've now played 1 new Swain game I'm an authority on everything rework-swain and he feels pretty awesome. W is like the most trolly skill in the game, "you wanna recall? lul". If only they kept Beatrice... Only bought Bilgewater Swain for the cute parrot. :'(

I've fine with 20% CDR items if they come with a trade-off, Frozen Heart for instance since it comes with no HP. Morello was way too strong with 20%.

Since everyone and their mother seems to be playing Swain support in my games currently, I can safely say he is not a good support. But his kit seems quite good otherwise.

yeah he would have been better support with his old kit. Also is there a way to interrupt swain's ult earlier or you must wait the full duration in combat if you want the end damage?

I have my doubts on Swain top, somehow if you are on isolated role like top you cannot gather fragments for the fights, on mid is like more dynamic and its easier to get them.

p.s. Also E should be maxed 1st imo

Yeah my impression pretty similar to Saints.

Idk, grevious wounds dicks you so hard. Like they ignite you you basically got exhausted and ignited.

He seems really strong if you can get a couple item's on even footing. Idk if you can actually do that though. Haha. Assassins / bruiser kind of dick on his kit til he gets some tankiness.

Hee is kinda hard though, I suppose it's maybe possible to abuse passive to always land W if you land E. He just seems really telegraphed as a champ. But learning curve could just be real high.

You can proc the damage yourself as soon as you reach the required healing number. Which is hard if enemy team buys GW.

Riot has said that purple smite is a super experimental change which has barely been tested internally.

W takes 1.5 seconds to explode so if you're good basically every E should turn into a W hit (either from W-ing slightly before E hits or from tugging at the end of your E so that you get some extra CC time).

Passive tug also gives you ult stacks so there's plenty of ways to stack your ultimate.

Also, here's Faker playing Swain. He does some cool stuff but he doesn't make the champ look OP.
