E+(w)+(q)+Auto attacks hurts considerably. If you go E>W>E>Q>E>R, then yeah you can do a ton of damage with just E+aa | ||

I can see him going even with her. His ult will make it so hard to kill him, and you can't even hide in shroud. | ||

Post-6 will depend if Akali has ignite or not. If she does not, Swain will beat her. If she does, Akali will win the lane | ||

EDIT: Then again, I was knocking off like 1/2 of his HP with each of my E/Q combos in the early game. Not sure what he could have done. | ||

Helps in terms of damage output, but you're pretty squishy if you go it. 0/9/21 is what I (and hopefully most Swains) go. Ult that constantly heals you+tanky? Yes please. | ||

He probably was 9/0/21, but I didn't check. I just remember hitting him VERY hard. I think I killed him two or three times before he hit six and more times afterwards (yay ignite). It was a stupidly lopsided lane. | ||

I'm always torn on masteries for Swain. 9/0/21 vs 0/9/21 is honestly only really a difference of 6 armor and mres when it comes to defensive stats. SoS is nice and all but honestly I feel that after the nerf it's not quite as big a regen boost as you'd like. 15% mpen and 3% cdr vs 6 armor and 6 mres doesn't feel like a huge decision. I'd be hard pressed to say it makes you "tanky" | ||

Haha, I hadn't even considered that. Very good point. Shit, what are the best masteries for swain? I always run 9/0/21 or 0/9/21 depending on how scared I am of the early game. | ||

I always run 9/0/21 or 0/9/21 depending on how scared I am of the early game. That's probably the best way to decide, given that SoS is the deal-breaker in that decision most of the time. Personally I think 9/0/21 actually seems to be the better way in most cases right now. Boots+3pot is going to be a way more common start than Blue Crystal+2pot, meaning SoS doesn't kick in to a significant amount of hp5 for a while. Hp5 becomes a significantly less useful stat for you after level 6, and if you're not starting with Blue Crystal, the level 1-5 value of SoS just isn't that high (2 Hp5 at level 1, to about 4 Hp5 at level 5--not going to make or break that many matchups). | ||

Or rather, how much armor did he have at the start? He was probably bad anyway  I like 9/0/21 better on swain most of the time, since it helps my harassment/nuke be scarier. Offense is the best defense after all. | ||
