His biggest issues are the mana problems and how it's harder to itemize for mana on Dominion. In a regular SR game you'll be getting RoA and blue buff whenever it's up, and RoA is much weaker on Dominon IMO, while blue buff doesn't exist at all. I also haven't seen any terrific Swains, not only on Dominoin but in general (I watched Dreamhack and most of them were just blue donations to the enemy AP carry). That being said, I'll look into it, but as I don't own Swain I can't test myself. For now remains tier 3, will get bumps if anything persuades me.
