Hell, I would have been fine if it was 1.2s/1.4s/1.6s/1.8s/2s.

At current, early game, you'll only have 1s root duration for trades. The range for it is decent, although you won't have enough time to do meaningful damage if you land it from far away, especially considering his cast time on E, and it is strongly telegraphed. Swain's early laning power was all he had to carry him into the midgame, where he really shines.
