That's my point, personally I prefer raw damage over utility in the early to midgame. Did it again yesterday; Minute 23, Kills: 1-0-0, something over 400 AP.

Of course I became the main target in Teamfights: Highest damage, squishy, immobile. You are right, if there is a strong burster I go for Hourglass first; but yesterday I was able to win some 2v1's.

Further I built Hourglass and Abyssal, and even then I have to admit I got nuked for the whole game like a sitting duck before a shotgun. Maybe I should try SV next time.

But: That's my playstyle with Swain, and that's why I wrote this post, maybe the original poster will find it attractive, too. I don't force anyone
