The armor and mr would be good, but only on the base funcion like Irelias passive.

Swain is now strong 1 vs 1 player in minion wave, without it his weaker but still more or less ok (like morde), and that would make him to powerfull in 1 vs 1.

But in teamfights he has to be pretty close, and that's the problem since he need AP to deal dmg and tankyness to suriveve. In team fights if you have feeding or weak team, you will be bursted before your ulti deals any dmg (that is the weak side of his dmg over time spells).

That's when this AR/MR buff would come in... You have 3 crows in ulti, then why not make that in like 3rd lvl of his ulti, each crow hitting an enemy champion gives him 10AR/MR.

Since you have 3 crows that hit 3 targets you would get 30AR/MR(doenst matter it they change them or not but it need to be a champion). If there are only 2 champs, you would get 20AR/MR ;). if 1 crow hits you get 10 or nothing.

That would make him more tanky in teamfights and didnt give him more power in 1 vs 1 battles.

Also this would make his heal from ulti more effective since you would got more AR/MR and that would also maked him a little bit less countered by ignite.
