Short range =/= Weak. Most mage spells that are not skillshots have ~650 range. Ex: Ahri has long range Q and Charm, but Ult and Fox Fire have basically the same range that Swain has. Swain has great range on his Nevermore, which should be good enough.

I wasn't comparing his armor to other mages, I was comparing his armor to all the champs in LoL. +4/lv is great.

I have never seen my Swain friend have trouble with enemies that aren't totally preventable. Most mages will try to poke at him but if they place their skillshot in his path of retreat (Ex: Brand's Pillar of Flame), Swain can just walk up and combo them, meaning they die.

I've seen my friend run oom sometimes, but it's only during early game teamfights that shouldn't be happening and nothing bad came of him being oom, because they were all at about 150hp by the time he did become oom.
