I really want to say he's not broken but by his whole combo is very high damage, Albeit mostly DoT based(Allowing teammates to shield/heal to mitigate damage) His healing is great in combat and fairly good at lane sustain(Countered by ignite/Grievous Wounds). His snare has a decent delay to allow time to move. His Q's leash can be broken if used at max ranged easily, but Swain has the option to move close to allow a full leash in exchange for possibly taking damage.

He seems to have counterplay existant in all of his abilities, but not TOO much which is quite fascinating.
