Let's see. A passive that is a worse version of Karthus's and Malzahar's passives on active skill. In late game it is nearly useless since mana pools go through the roof and you would only receive 189 for entire minion wave cleared. His passive is further more useless because you would spend that entire mana gained on just two spells. Heck, its nice to have it in early game but in mid and late game, compare his passive to Diana's, Akali's, Elise's passive. Does not stand up.

Q must be used with W. It is just that simple, enemies will just go away if you use the Q on them.

W is a nice spell but root needs to be longer and a little bit wider. It is very easy to dodge and once you use it, your Q becomes harder to use.

E is the only spell in his kit that is decent. However, his title is Master Tactician, right? So why something like "This includes summoner spells and items used by Swain. Allied damage is amplified by the half of percentage." This way he becomes a pressence, once you mark a target your team knows who to attack since he will be receivng increased damage.

R is mighty fine but eats mana quicker than Anivia's glacial storm and Karthus's Defile. Also. Reduce mana cost and he will be fine.

Also his entire kit has the cost of ultimate. 100 mana for each skill is just too much.
