Swain, you old man are still my strongest pick... especially top against a melee champ...

I read a lot that many people max Torment first; my advise to all of you, max the lazerbird instead! The damage is compareable if the tether isn't broken (don't use it at max range and only after the enemy dash), plus it has a shorter cooldown. The real advantage however is the slow! When you get ganked, cast it on one of the enemies (again, AFTER their dash/jump/whatever) and Nevermove on the other, if not both. That done, even a crippled old man can simply walk away from them. Nice bonus: It makes landing Nevermove easy as pie.

Only max Torment first if you want to harass 24/7 or you need Lazerbird for lasthitting alot, because it gets expensive.

P.S. Who is the oldest (human) champ? Is it Swain?
