I would consider Swain as my main. I've been playing him pretty much non-stop since his IP cost was reduced. Playing as him is never boring, but I've been using the same build for so long now, and can't seem to improve on it anymore. So I'd like to know how's everyone else building him, and trying out something wild on him for a change.

This is my build, pretty much in buying order: Sorc boots, RoA, Grail, Abyssal, Zhonya, Rabadon.

My runes are: AP quits, mpen reds, scaling armor/mres yellows/blues.

I've settled for more tanky build, so I can CAW CAW CAW in the middle of everything for so much longer, and with that Zhonya I never go down in round one.

That 600+ AP I'll end up with and Swain's high ratios mean that I can usually combo that AD carry to death, and if not, hitting that Nevermove is like the carry has turned into a Teemo for a brief moment, getting ALL of the attention.
