Talk:Rylai's Crystal Scepter/@comment-4636093-20120512004042/@comment-92.139.108.75-20120626192451

It's really useful for mages with no CC (I'm looking at you, Mordekaiser), those specializing in single target burst, and those without mana. Its price usually makes it suboptimal for most other mages.

To answer a previous post, using it on Swain is kind of a waste. The Master Tactician already has a decent slow and a snare, so he doesn't lack CC. Furthermore all his damage is either AoE or DoT, so Rylai would only proc for 15% slow. It's better to skip the Rylai and go for a RoA instead when playing him.
