Just a few days ago, we told you that Taliyah and Olaf were going to be getting what Riot Games calls "mid-range updates," meaning mini-reworks of various abilities. The studio does not want to stop like that and Riot August has just announced on its Twitter account that an additional champion should undergo modifications of the same ilk.
That champion is none other than Swain, the Noxian Grand General. He is a character who has undergone several major changes throughout his story, but will return for more gameplay-relevant tweaks. We're talking about a champion who started as a top laner, played as a mid laner, and ended up having even more success as a support.
Swain is on his way to a mini rework
Currently, Swain has a 47.51% win rate and is picked in 0.97% of games, both terrible numbers for a champion who not too long ago received hotfixes. Between that and the fact that he's almost exclusively played in the Support position for now, Riot Games will be looking to make the champion more interesting to players, as well as perhaps opening the door for him to be at new used on solo lanes.
We'll have to wait a few weeks to see what Truexy has in store for this character, as well as what abilities have been tweaked to give her this update that we hope will allow the champion to shine again.
