Swain has great scalings, and while he is quite bound by his ranges, delays, and tethers, it's actually pretty darn hard to effectively kite him. This is mostly because Sivir was a poor mention because she has to walk up to Swain to truly hurt him, though Ezreal has a good amount of burst if he lands his ult on you and Lucian can still hit you from outside Swain's ranges with his ult as well. The old man is a bully in teamfights just like he is in lane. One very powerful part of his kit is that he has extremely high sustain when he is near enemy champions due to his ult, but it should not go unmentioned that Decrepify is similar to how Kog'Maw slow used to work - no amount of tenacity reduces the duration (yeah that's right, Irelia, you're gonna get kited after your slow wears off)
