Might be someone who seen me play. I build Swain like how I'm supposed to, but I have played him as a "support" with those builds. Sadly for a Swain "support" to be effective, they have to lane with a tanky dps or an assassin since the assassin can get in, deal damage and get out while a tanky dps can mess up the enemy while being a shield for Swain. The general idea go with, build some mild sustain first and level your skills pretty flat across the board but Nevermove always first, cause the whole point of "support" Swain, you harass the enemy with your combo's whenever you can, but always lead in with Nevermove so they have a harder time counter harassing along with you maybe having Nevermove back up by the time they get near you. My early game is getting a catalyst, then chalice and Sorc boots, RoA then unholy grail. Nega and chain mail, deathcap then turn your nega cloak and chainmail into an Abyssal and Zhonya's. You'll be fairly tanky and deal good damage throughout the game and have enough mana to spam like a monkey even without blue(my teams never give me blue :c)
