I wish all OTP channels made guides like this. The structure and flow is well done.

[CoachCurtis]

HYPE! Amazing stuff man, great guide.

You are my eternal king and I'm your eternal loyal servant

This is the most well put together Swain guide. Since I started watching Husum I went from a chronic platinum player for 7 seasons to D2 in just a couple months this season from playing only swain mid and following Husum's advice. Bro elo boosted me just through his youtube vids, absolute chad

[acreisbroken]

This guide was really informative but also entertaining. Love the small memes and jokes throughout your videos

[Nick-zzte]

So glad I found your channel recently. It's great watching your Swain gameplay and learning from your builds and explanation behind them.

[xandersoftley]

love your video's Husum, happy to see your full guide finally out!

[solartea_]

genuinely the best, most cohesive guide ive watched on any champion on youtube. this is more than just a swain guide, but a general mid lane, and league guide as a whole. cant believe this is free, would love to support in some way

[Lotobedra]

This video made me pick up Swain when it came out a few weeks ago, and it's now my favorite champ to play. I prioritize him every time the draft is good for him, and following all the advice here plus watching your other videos to get a grasp on decision making really goes a long way! So thank you again, your content is very insightful AND entertaining at the same time!

[Miraihi]

All Swain players should at least listen to the "Identity" part of your guide. Such a concise bullet points description. Bullseye.

[arororvidod]

Even though I don't play Swain whatsoever, your content is very amusing and gives a broad perspective of the character. Much love from Sweden

[xjuanmax]

It's Finally out!
I love the moment when I found one of your videos, my playstyle is so similar, but with your guides, I think I have become a better Swain player👍(especially in mid-game).

Something that I haven't tried is phase Rush, and about Demonic Embrace, acording to win rates it isn't bad, but yeah there's better options.
(28:43 love that play)

[lucacatellani]

Imagine me searching a Swain main to learn from. And finally find it and consume his videos to try to capture what I didn’t get yet.
Very well done.
And actually is nice to see your build with Aery!
Interesting.

[nonamenoproblems]

I know and implement almost everything from this guide but somehow I managed to fk up the most obvious part - my build. It was because I used to view this champion more like a mage who kills them all, not like tank-mage who plays to draw enemy attention. My version goes well in diamond or lower, but when it comes to master+ games I found way more success playing him like you do. Don't get me wrong about not learning more from this guide, its very useful and complex, I just play way too much Swain and constantly watching your videos :D

[SQUID_]

THIS is actually a guide! Not just showing yourself stomping a game. Thats a showcase. This shows WHY a champion is strong or HOW you accomplish a win. Thank you for this video!!

[graffjtj]

Thank you for such a guide, you open the eyes of those who know little about Swain, I otp Swain with 750k skill and I agree with absolutely everything you said and I told others about all this, I translate the text through Google translator, so the text can to be wrong, I also wanted to say a few things on my own: I often take Swains w at the beginning of the game to use it on the enemy forester’s camp and get information about him, after that I use it on other camps to steal his farm, in total I can steal about 150 gold for his first clearing, it can also be used to limit the enemy from yourself or teammates who are trying to kill, in the video you only indicated that you can use it to catch up, you can also use it like this, so that the enemy would try to leave its area of ​​action and give e in the direction from which he is going to leave, you can also use it to scare enemies from the side lines, when necessary, I stand in the bushes, where there is no information about me, I give it to the enemy on the sideline w, without knowing the information, he goes under the tower and thus I help teammates when necessary, by the way I advise you to try a hextech belt, in a build for damage, in combination with rylay, this item does a lot of damage, it can be can also be used without rylay, but the slowdown on skills must be used correctly. I would also like to know how difficult you consider Swain to be? For me personally, he is one of the most difficult champions, it is more difficult for me to stand for him than for other champions, both in the mid lane and in the jungle and at the top, despite the fact that I am otp

[matthewcao]

Super entertaining and informative video. I don't ever plan on OTP'ing Swain but I just love watching your vids

[francisfalgui]

Thank you so much! I really felt that this guide came from experience and that it's going to help a lot of people.

[BlackenedVoodoo]

I've started playing a lot of Swain top because of you and your amazing videos! Been checking your channel daily waiting for this upload! Amazing stuff Husum!!!
