For both mages, you chose two whom are both amazing at team fighting AND dueling. Swain is meant as a more tanky mage as above said, while malz is dmg dmg dmg. They both focus around DoT skills while having one good burst. Swains ult is a good toggle and swain is good at whiddling their team down while your team bursts enough for you to be the mop, while malz focuses on dealing huge ammounts of dmg in small ammounts of time thanks to his w, his e, and his ult combo (which i call a snipe move). All of that said, i play both, but would say choose malz ONLY if you have better team coordination IE. skype or vent, because you channel the full length you supress, allowing you to be sniped just as easily.
