It's really fun. He is kinda immobile and slow and his range isn't all that great, but he has all the tools he Needs to kill someone. His Combos just feel great. Hitting E on the enemy, casting W between him and yourself, pulling him into it and then Q in his face while he is slowed. His damage potential is just huge. His basic Combo of E + W + Passive + pointblank Q has a 246% AP Ratio and considering that his Q has a low cooldown and his ult bears a potential of another 305% AP Ratio (whole duration and and fully stacked Demon Flare), he has an immense damage Repertoire. And yet it's not even unfair or unfun to play against, because he has to get close and personal to actually deal that much damage and if he is building tanky, his Ap ratios lose weight. Also everything in his kit besides Demon Flare and W are body blockable, making a good frontline a real threat for him. And there are a vary of weaknesses to gate his damage, like poor waveclear, low mobility and of course high cooldowns on everything but Q.

Swain has to really think about how to use his spells and his own positioning now. Not comparable to old Swain who just ulted, ran in the enemy team, E Q W'ed someone and then ran around in circles.
