Swain's playstyle is kinda like vladimir/kennen in a sense of going ham in the middle of the fight. His R is absolute bonkers because of the massive healing (works while in statis) and a whopping 1k damage on his demonflare on lvl 16 and 3 items atleast. His e has a nice concept in it but the "can be blocked by minnions" part makes it hard to hit in the laning phase. his w is hard to hit without cc, but has great damage/slow which is nice his q is spammable and kinda strong waveclear tool/shotgun which is also nice

His r is really what singlehandedly make him great in teamfights, Swain's Drain has insane healing and DoT and can easily one shot any squishy target late game. This makes him go towards the playstyle of kennen (ham in the middle) but without the speed (and probably the protobelt).

needs some tweaking in his kit
