Swain is def OP with the right setup. I've recently been running Flash + Ghost, with Lucidity Boots + Distortion enchant and Insight mastery, that's 40% CDR on your Summoners, putting Flash on a 180s CD and Ghost on a 126s CD.

Swain already has huge natural damage so you don't really need the Ignite, and Ghost gives him huge catch/ chase potential.

My preferred item build: RoA -> Lucidity Boots -> Hourglass -> Deathcap -> Void Staff -> Abyssal (Spirit Visage is good too).

I also go for scaling CDR blues, which puts him at a nice 25% CDR (35% with Blue Buff or if you build Spirit Visage).
