Looking at the nerf to Swain on his W. 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 seconds based on rank. I haven't really seen too much of him (although, the meta is certainly in his favor right now, with games closing out quickly based on early leads, which Swain is strong at capitalizing on)

That duration nerf as of right now seems a bit too harsh, imo. Maybe something like 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 would be nice. The thing is already really damn hard to hit (especially when most champs have mobility nowadays), and is really strongly telegraphed. (A brightly flashing circle!).

I do genuinely enjoy playing him, he feels incredibly strong. He performs kind of like a juggernaut in that sense: really immobile and performs excellently, providing sustained DPS. He does some serious damage during mid-game teamfights. The root is really all he has going for him in terms of team utility.

That being said, personally, this nerf just annoys me because I'll have even less of a chance to deal with the Irelia charging into the team with Merc Treads and Rageblade.
