(this text is about: Tank Swain is not as effective as it used to be what is Swains strengths right now? and is it enough for him to be more competetive against newer AP casters?)

Recently I have stopped with gettin rod of ages as the first item om Swain. It makes me tanky but I don't dish out enough damage, so instead I rush Deatfire grasp which have a nice synergi with torment. Tank Swain is not that "tanky" anymore agaist the more modern AP casters nowaday it comers more down to "the one who can burst hardest and do it at high speed win" I don't complain about this that is just how it is atm, the question is now is it possible for Swain to compete against modern APs like Brand Syndra Xerath? in terms of aoe and rawpower imo I don't think he can compete, but he have some strong singel target attacks to take down high priorty tagets and have a strong sets of skills (along with mabey a crystal secpter) to kite really good but is that enough?
