Release Notes v1.0.0.102 - League of Legends Community

Unneeded Garen/Vlad nerfs -.-
Better note, Swain looks awesome

oh noes. Now garen is not god :<

*bites* garen needs 300 move speed >_<

Wow, five less speed, Garen is now absolutely ruined. /Cough

yay i had best shaco ever, he took mid and was doing okay.
THEN he jungled FOREVER, didnt even team fight and then afked and still had the lowest minion kills

oops wrong place, but o well

I'm just happy that Garen didn't get shacodingered. :D

Does it feel that Swain is really, underwhelming?

BECAUSE SWAIN < MORGANA hurrr derp.

Except I feel like he's heavily based on his E and Q and must land the w to gank in most scenarios.

I can feel that w, flash, e , q coming onnnnn

Edit: Is it me or does it feel like his damage is pretty bad ._.

Sunfire stacking Swain+Ult = ???

Swain's damage is so pathetic....
I have to say, probably the worst caster type in all of LoL

My friend decided to try life vamp/tank swain with spirit visage, it worked decently but had a reasonably slow beginning. I also see Rylai's being very useful on Swain. From what I've observed he seems to be a some-what support nuker with his w and q. :/

Sunfire tank swain is op.
