I feel like the 'consideration' for your defensive options
are a lot less serious compared to the considerations for
your offensive options. I'd prune your cheat sheet so that
the defensive options that you list are more viable.

I don't tend to nitpick this a ton, but I feel like viktor is
much more of a threat than other champions.
Lux is probably a pretty nasty threat too.

THREAT CHAMPION NOTES
2 KatarinaCan't cs unless she uses Q, ult's grievous wounds aren't relevant unless youmessed up the lane, can't trade, gets harassed to oblivion. Zone her early onand keep the pressure up. Be careful against high CC ganks. Otherwise, justbe an ass and hurt her. Don't try to W unless her E is on cooldown/she's mid-ult because she can Shunpo away.
2 AkaliVery easy to bully early game, you can keep this up post-6 even if shecommits as long as you have mana. Pink wards may help you kill her anddeny her even more. Just be careful not to ult randomly, or she can use thecooldown to kill you. Try fighting with enemy minions around post 6 so you
heal harder. She might roam though.
2 TalonYou almost need to mess this up on purpose in order to lose. He lost hissilence, all he can do to harass you is make you eat free Rakes, unless hegoes onto you which gives you a free chance to Q->W->E for A LOT of freedamage. Pink wards during teamfights are a must. Just be careful because hecan all in you in ganks. That's the only time he can do anything against you.

Hello, I'm FalseoGod (SaltyChocobo on EUW) and
welcome to my guide for the Noxian Lord of
Cannibalism, Swain!
I have written this guide ever since I picked up Swain
in season 2 and instantly fell in love. Although I play alot of champions because I tire easy of doing the same,
he is always my go to option and I have a very extensive
understanding of how he works. In fact, from every Elo
journey I h ave t aken h as been led by him, up u ntil my
season 5's Diamond.
This being a guide, I am offering more than just a
cheat sheet: bellow you can find the reasoning behind
the options I showed, alternatives, as well as all sorts of
important information like how to lane or decisions to
make during teamfights. I hope you like your read and
feel free to ask any questions!

7/27
Pros:
+ Constant DPS
+ Nice crowd control (a slow and an AoE snare)
+ Inbuilt sustain with ultimate
+ Tanky nature
+ Good snowball potential
Cons
-Low mobility and medium range
-Lack of burst compared to other midlaners
-Early game can be a struggle
- Quite mana hungry during teamfights
-Mediocre waveclear/pushing until midgame
-Comps with lots of shields or heals mess his
teamfighting a bit
WHEN SHOULD I PICK SWAIN?
As a counterpick: Swain is generally a good pick
against any champion he outranges like Talon,
Zed, Akali, Katarina, Fizz. For more
information, check my matchups list above )
Your team can use a frontliner that deals
good damage: Swain can take a lot of
punishment and dish out a lot of damage. He is
not ideal for a poke comp (teams that deal a lot of
damage with harass without actually forcing a
fight), but he is good in teamfight-oriented teams,
dive comps (teams that attack even under enemy

8/27
tower), pick comps (teams that use their mobility
and CC to separate one enemy team member
from the rest).
Aggressive ganking junglers: Swain's early
game isn't amazing against various different
champions, but he has decent CC and great
damage to followup or initiate allied ganks! Look
for aggressive junglers like Lee Sin, Elise,
Shaco, Vi, Jarvan IV,...
A mage that doesn't fade lategame If played
to his fullest, Swain becomes more of a threat the
longer each match lasts. If you make sure you
don't get popped on the opposition's first rotation,
you can soak up and dish large amounts of
damage on both carries, bruisers and tanks!
However, Swain does not offer a particulalrly
strong burst at any stages of the game, lategame
included (except midgame if really fed).
I suppose swain isn't as strong of a pick if he is playing against a team composition with strong disengage, like
a janna

IGNITE
A standard pick for midlaners, specially those who are supposed to be in range to
use this summoner spell. It deals true damage over 5 seconds and reduces
healing effects.

10/27
Pretty much a must have to nearly all league champs. This spell offers both
extra safety and extra playmaking potential. It allows you to instantly blink in
the direction of your cursor.
USAGE STRATEGY
Currently, Swainhas two very viable keystones: Thunderlord's Decree and Deathfire Touch . This
happens because, although he will deal more overall damage due to the synergy between Deathfire Touch and
his kit, a Thunderlord's Decree applied to a favorable matchup will help him snowball mosntruously. Obviously,
you can still snowball with Deathfire Touch or fail to snowball with Decree.] It'll always depend on the game
itself and the opportunities that arise.
Bellow you can see how you should choose between the two. If you're doing Blind Pick, I recommend
Thunderlord's Decree .
THUNDERLORD'S DECREE VS DEATHFIRE TOUCH
MASTERY PAGE ASPECT
- You want Thunderlord's Decree
mostly for favorable matchups. This
keystone is perfect to help a laner
snowball, and snowballing makes you
hit your damage peak faster.
- Use it to play aggressive, insistingon combos such as Decrepify +
Torment + auto-attack.
MASTERY PAGE ASPECT
- You want Deathfire Touch mostly
for farm lanes. This keystone
synergizes with Swain's kit,
making him deal more AoE damage
with his ult and DoT, meaning that it
becomes more powerful on Swain
later in the game than
Thunderlord's Decree .

11/27
- Pick up Precision to empower
your overall damage output if you're
going this route. Assassin and
Double Edged Sword might also be
considered to increase your damage
even more, but only if you're really
confident in the matchup!
- If you're going this route, you'll
probably be wanting more defensive
masteries such as Secret Stash for
sustain.
- Piercing Thoughts is the only
option in this tier for Swain, giving
you that extra magic penetration that
you're not getting because you had to
forsake Precision .

This is a standard rune setting for Swain, although I use various rune pages just for him. It provides necessary
early magic and armor penetration (trading with auto-attacks), flat AP, and Health/lvl seals to provide you some
extra bulk. I suggest these runes if you don't have many pages.

If you don't have IP for hybrid penetration marks, these will also do fine.
However, do remember the hybrid penetration runes are a better option for
Swain because your harass should have auto-attacks in the mix (and makes him
better versus melee champions in general).
Against ranged champions, these runes occasionally can be better because some
of these ( Xerath, Lux come to mind) should never be in range for
frequent harassing, requiring instead either jungler presence, a good
Nevermoveor horrible positioning in their part.
Greater Seal Armor
These are great against Zed or Talon, and can also be used against
Yasuo or other AD matchups that appear. They provide you with extraresistances to endure the occasional harass that you failed to dodge and to abate
their level 6 kill potential.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power
Also good versus easy matchups that don't really require magic resistance. You
may even pair with a combination of Scaling AP Seals and Scalling health to start
with even more ability power!

In fact, since apparently the content in these spoilers are

I hope you get the idea. Your readers are missing out
on invaluable information by neglecting to read your

I am personally of the belief that the stuff that belongs
in spoilers are superficial things like mathematical

simply not read any of your spoilers instead.

The most basic lane harass combo. If your opponent does not back off and you have confidence you'll outdamage
them, you may follow this with other abilities (usually Decrepify + Nevermove). Try to get 2 auto-attacks in
or another ability if you have Thunderlord's Decree
However, when you start harassing and committing to damage an opponent, enemy minions will start aggro'ing
you if you're too close (and if the lane opponent doesn't fight back, your minions will only hit enemy minions,
slowly starting to push the wave). Circumvent this by either positioning away from enemy minions or only doingquick waves of harass.

your ult, Azirhas more sustained damage before you hit 6, Syndra also hits harder), but this sort of
commitment works for winning trades/setting up ganks as long as you know how much damage your opponent
can output.
The basic idea is to use Decrepify to lead them into Nevermove (although you can start the other way
around: hit Nevermove and immediately move into them while casting Decrepify and Torment for a lot of
damage) and then rotate through your skillset for a nice chunk of HP.
You can test how you can set this trade up based on your opponent: if they have similar or lower range, use
decrepify to try and test their response and slowly work up through the combo. If their range is higher, try toeither position closer to them and bait some skillshots/zone them so you can try casting Decrepify, or you can
try and force them into your Nevermove by making them move towards midlane choke points.
> > > >
Torment > Ignite > Ravenous Flock > Decrepify > Nevermove
EXAMPLE
Your daily "melt into nothingness" combo mid/lategame. If you had the possibility of landing Nevermove early
(they positioned poorly/dashed onto you), start the rotation with Torment+ Ignite anyway.
You want to use this combo when you're 90% sure that your opponent either can't flee because they were
cc'd/had their mobility abilities on cooldown or, per example, when they're trying to commit to killing you and
you're sure you can win that trade.
Lategame, you will generally want to try and get this combo on enemy carries and use Zhonya's Hourglassif
they have any type of self-healing (lifesteal/spellvamp). This is because, since you don't have a burst, you're using
Zhonya's active to deny them lifestealing/spellvamping from you, and your full combo lategame still deals massive
damage, it just takes more time.

CORE ITEMS
These are the only two core Swain items, everything else revolves on matchups, how fed you are and what do
you need to overcome the enemy team. And, even so, Rod of Ages may be skipped if you had a bad start (will
go over this further down).
What you need to keep in mind is this Swain is a frontline mage, he is supposed to take and dish damage .
He requires HP, a decent mana pool, ability power and a decent combination of armor and magic resistance, which
are more stats than most midlaners need to procure. However, AP is the main focus ALWAYS because 1)Swain
scales greatly with AP and 2) The more damage Swain deals, the more he heals with Ravenous Flock.

SaltyChocobo's Swain Laning Basics
This is a lane phase video I made to help you see in practice
some of the concepts explored in this section
Here I will provide some general Swain-specific tips to try and make your lane phase run smoother. This chapter
is separated into various fields so that you may choose those you want to improve on instead of having to scour
through all the information.
TRADING
FARMING TIPS
MINION WAVE CONTROL
GANKS
The trading section of this guide is very important.
There are champions that do very well when the wave is
pushed to their tower (fizz, e.g.), and there are
champions that don't do well when the wave is pushed to
their tower (leblanc). Where does swain fall on this
spectrum?
For your trading section: Exactly when do you want to
roam? Show us an example of when you forced your
opponent to recall and you roamed successfully to a side
lane and got off a successful gank, and then explain why
your roam worked.
Farming tips were explained well. I'd personally take this
out of the spoiler, but I can see an argument for keeping
it in the spoiler too.
Minion wave control:
"It's really important that you control the way the minion
wave is flowing"

20/27
This section is basically filled with tips. Teamfighting is one of the most situational events in League of Legends
(depends on both teamcomps, levels, items, objectives attained, champions involved and their cooldowns, etc.) The
idea itself is pretty much "(help) kill as many as possible while trying to have the least number of deaths on your
side", but it's never this simple.
EXAMPLE OF A SKIRMISH
Use your team's trinkets to your advantage and don't be caught off-guard. Vision Ward,
Farsight Alteration and Warding Totem are key for this. Either way, if you see them coming for
you and you're sure they can get the initiate on you (think Leona/Malphite ult, long-range CC),
ALWAYS pre-emptively pop Ravenous Flock, because it'll allow you to heal and deal damage
even if cc'd.
Once you get Zhonya's Hourglass, consider positioning much closer to the enemy backline during
the fight (unless your team can't followup well or you're too behind): the active is really strong on
Swain, allowing you to engage, deal damage, bait their engages and become immune to a lot of
stuff while that active is working. Up until you have zhonya's, position a bit more conservatively,
preferably together or by your tank's side in case he's also on tha fight
Remember your carry! Swain has some really good peel options versus divers and champions
that jump carries (think Xin Zhao or Nocturne) in the form of Decrepify and
NevermoveSometimes, soaking damage while peeling for your ad carry is the best option. A good
example is when your carry is fed, which means that if you can help keep them alive they can ramp
up through the teamfight by dealing with the divers first. Position in between the diver and the rest
of the enemy team, so you can simultaneously deal AoE to up to two more targets and try to help
your adc survive. This positioning also makes you an easier target to reach, which reduces the odds
of your adc getting other champs to followup on the dive.
If your adc isn't doing that well or you can't reach them, you should try to be in the frontline or at
the enemy backline with the rest of your team's fighters and tanks, to try and dish as much
damage as possible.
Using Nevermove well is essential: be it picking up targets (or even casting it under their tower
and happily diving them with Ravenous Flock on and Zhonya's Hourglass ready to take the
heat off of you) or separating engagers from their back line (the diver engages, you cast
Nevermove on their backline and suddenly they're alone against you and your team). Missing the
Nevermove can be as harmless as not getting an engage to something harmful like failing to peel
for someone/stopping an engage, perhaps making the difference between a won or lost teamfight.
Again, if you're not too confident about hitting it, try to use it as a followup of your team's
remaining CC.
Try to keep track of how each teamfight went: if your carry played well but got dived by assassins, if
you exaggerated in the amount of time you exposed yourself to the enemy team and didn't back
off, how well was the engage, etc. Learn from each fight and try to guarantee they'll go favorably
each time. Also, make sure you're buying your items according to who's strongest on the enemy
team, their main sources of damage, their resistances, etc. This means checking if them for Mres
Continued from the previous page:
Timing your opponent's wards is critical for knowledge of
the lane. Knowing when your opponent's wards expire
can make it easier for your jungler to gank your opponent
by either avoiding the ward, or waiting for it to time out.
Additionally, knowing the expiration of your opponent's in
conjunction with his lane behavior can give you a good
idea of where the jungler is. For example, if the opponent
is playing very aggressively 20-25 seconds after his ward
expires, it may mean that the opponent jungler is nearby.
Ganks:
It also depends on whether your opponent jungler/laner
is ranged or not. Depending on their mobility and
autoattack/spell range, it may be easier or harder to both
land an important snare, and also get increased healing
from ravenous flock
I'd like you to cover tower dives with swain as well in this
section.Skirmishing:
Good explanation, because of this i'll upvote your guide.
Although it doesn't hold much weight, I'd +scout your
guide if the most important parts of the guide weren't in
spoiler tags. =,='
Some things that it may do you good to include would be
explaining why you pathed the way you did (towards
banana brush instead of death brush) - pathing like this
forced draven and renekton into more of a choke point
where it'd be easier for you to land nevermore; In thisinstance, if you had pathed towards death brush, your
opponents could have pulled away, but because you
pathed towards the banana brush, the only way for your
opponents to escape would be through the mid lane
brush... while tristana was getting free autos off on the
opponents.
Vision is more important when the opponent has a
champion that's good at flanking, like an assassin, or
someone like gnar/olaf who can't normally just run up
and go in on the opponents.

and if you got Void Staff or Liandry's Torment to help abate it, having Zhonya's Hourglass
to dodge AoE or focused damage, Abyssal Scepter if they have two or more good sources of AP
damage, etc.
You've reached the end of my guide! I do hope you enjoy Swain as much as I do, knowing someone will be eaten
alive by your DoTS before they do, tanking and dealing huge amounts of damage! Swain is not as immediate as
some other mages, but he's very fun once you start to manage him.
I shall keep this updated and am completely open to questions/suggestions )
An important note would be that it's important to keep
track of certain cooldowns. For example, an alistar
without headbutt pulverize can effectively be ignored for
the next 4.5-5.5 seconds without impunity.
Another thing that's important is to analyze your
opponent's composition and determine whether you
need to save your CC for one of your opponents.
For example, if i'm playing a soraka, and i'm playingagainst an assassin like katarina or zed, i'll save my
equinox for their ulties, instead of using it for peel.
