Even if it does deal less damage on DoTs and AoE, Liandry's Torment will be utter ballin' on Swain in S3. Not only does it deal more damage to people who are slowed, it's amplified by his E.

Plus it gives AP, Health and Magic pen, all of which he likes building.

EDIT: And I've just looked it up, the DAMAGE isn't halve for DoTs, the duration is. So a DoT lasting more than 2 seconds will still cause more damage from LT than a single target nuke will.

So the base damage of the item is: 1.66% of their current health per second. Doubled to 3.33% due to the slow of Rylai's or his Q, and amplified by his E to 4% of their current health every second.

For:


 * 4.5 seconds if they take the full damage from his Q


 * 5.5 seconds if they get hit by his E


 * 1.5 seconds if they get hit by his W


 * And will be CONSTANTLY refreshed if he has his ult turned on around them.

Wow... I know that it's their current health not maximum but that's still an incredible amount of damage.
