Baus is living rent free in Phreak's head.

Ganking the same lane over and over is less about gold and more about making that laner useless. It only takes 3 successful ganks in the first 15 mins to do that.

Hey phreak, just wanted to quickly ask for you to consider changing swain passive’s display number to be the hp gained and not the stacks similar to Sion. The actual hp it gives feels worthless until you click on it and realize that it’s been giving 800 or so hp. Also falls in line with making him feel better to play, as players early on can see that first or 2nd back they already have the hp equivalent of a health component.

Love to see Swain getting some attention, its clear that a lot of thought was put into these changes. He's absolutely my favorite champion, so I'm glad that he's not being changed drastically. Super excited to try it out :)

[toukasheart]

Really like the champion bounty system changes. It encourages the more powerful players to fight each other instead of "abusing" a weaker player the entire time.

[captinlanders]

Man i love swains ult. you feel like a teamfight monster. hopefully the shift in power translates into your ult phases feeling better than worse.

[pedroeol]

Man I love League of Legends and it's awesome to see the passion you have from projects/reworks like this with this champ but also from previous ones. I don't play Swain but this actually is making me want to try and put proper time into mastering him xD

[mrboo]

Let's go, get Husum here, it's time for the Swain!

[Danger]

I appreciate you giving many examples to help illustrate how the new system should impact different game states. Very insightful 👍

Honest question: Why are we talking about Swain supp? yes he is being played there but he shouldn't, and the reason is because he feels awful mid/bot. I would have hoped they ignore the supp part of Swain and just focus on making him feel better

[warnocity]

Huge fan of the Swain work, I'm really excited to test it out! Thanks for giving such a great overview!

[MaharajaLeagueOfLegends]

Great job Phreak!! I love the update to swain, really looking forward to playing him even more.

[EmrysMerlin]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to a special episode of the Phreak Show! On today's episode, Phreak gets all swiggty swooty and talks about his plans for Swains booty!

[GbergStacks]

I really like the direction that they went with swain, kind of giving him more utility with multiple R casts while also giving good burst dmg. As of 10/10 they updated swain to keep the dmg but lowered the utility he has by increasing the cd of demonflares from 10 to 12 flat and I believe that is the wrong direction to take him. In order to be a battle mage he needs to have more utility and healing to get more spells off which should be the priority over dmg and they should lower dmg in exchange for more utility and less reliance on rylais.

ty Phreak for keeping pyke support hanging on/alive, it's a tough champ (can't build hp) but fun and challenging

[gahrzerkire]

Phreak cooked, sautéed, steamed broiled and the dish is immaculate. Ty. I haven't liked lots of your changes (to say the least). These bounty changes based off what you describe are excellent. Much appreciate the time and thought that went into this. Props.

AATROX W TRIGGER SYSTEM DOESNT WORK AT THE EDGE OF W AREA PLS FIX

[aquasnippy]

One thing I dont know if you guys thought about in terms of bounties is that kills take a person off of the map for a certain amount of time as well as giving gold. So i feel like 300 gold worth of one kill shouldnt be counted the same as 300 gold worth of CS.

[wo]

Hey Phreak quick question on the bounties. Is the firstblood gold handeld the same way as draven or pyke gold, ?

[Bigpapiwampi]

First things first. Thank you for taking the time to go over all this clearly and honestly. Honest question tho why was he even reworked in the first place. His old kit is literally BETTER than his current kit and makes more functional sense. Would there ever be a place when we can play some of the old champs we have so much nostalgia with? Some game mode where original champs can be played like vanilla WOW or something?
