He is pretty short ranged with low mobility and pretty squishy before he gets his ultimate. I believe he is far stronger than most people give him credit for, probably A-Tier, but he has some pretty terrible lane matchups and is quite blue dependent. He still is my favourite mid champion by far and the champions I have the highest win rate with.

I think part of the problem with Swain is the same that lies with Viktor: they are not that popular and not many people play them, so most of the players haven't really tried them out, even if both are really strong champions.
