Confusingly tanky is pretty good way to put it. But also confusing engage.

He has the weirdest engage, if he can get to his preferred range. He'll just force a team fight with his slow and snare, and if the enemy can't chain their hard CC when collapsing on him, he'll just Zhonya and that's pretty much what he wants: enemy blew some cooldowns on him, and are now somewhat badly positioned. And the more you spend time thinking about collapsing on him, the worse that decision gets, as he constantly caw-caw-caws your health away.

It's also hard to disengage from meleeform Swain when his W lockdown duration is probably longer than any non ultimate ability you'll throw at him when trying to peel him off.
