Y but you forget one thing...

Anivia can perma hold her ulti while being safe and out side of almost everyones range, while Swain if he holds his ulti and does to someone dmg with it, that means he is in 100% probability of his range and takes dmg.

Also this mades such a build practcilny non viable. Since he would be super sqiushy (is one of the sqiushyest mages in game) and have almost 0 dmg - since his base dmg is one of the lowest in game -

Karthus W out dmg'es his ulti hard, Anivias ult also, Even singes poison who can be holded permament does the same dmg.

This would make him super fed, since the build would be non viable like it is today.

But if Riot would have problems with it, then its easy...

Impement a mechanic that gives Swain's ulti a basic CD of 8.

For every 1 second it is used it increases his CD by 0.5. So for example if it was used for 10 seconds he gets a CD of 18 when he turns it of.

This would make such biulds not fun even in bot games.
