POWERFUL: Swain's new changes aim to make him more powerful across the board.

Here's how Swain's changes look:

Passive - Ravenous Flock

  • No longer deals 20-105 (+30%AP) magic damage

Q - Death’s Hand

  • Cooldown: 9/7.5/6/4.5/3 seconds ⇒ 7/6/5/4/3 seconds
  • Mana: 65/70/75/80/85 ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70

R - Demonic Ascension

  • Cooldown: 120 seconds ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds

According to Riot TheTruexy, "the goals here are shifting power out of less satisfying places and into the spells that make Swain, well Swain.”

In order to do that, Riot have decided to remove all of the damage off of his passive and moved it to the rest of his kit. This includes reduction the cooldown of his ultimate, as well as nerfing his Q's mana cost.

All of this should give him the ability to spam more spells in lane, as well as grant him more access to his powerful ultimate.

“This should help both Swain in Mid and support by giving him better access to his meaningful spells. We expect it to be a small [to] mid sized buff to Swain everywhere,” the developer added.

So players can expect a stronger-looking, stronger-performing Swain come release time.

LoL 12.7 Skins

With every new patch, League of Legends adds some great new skins to give players the opportunity to take on new looks for old favorites and new champions alike. Skins are a fun way to customize your champions and with every new skin has come more and more creativity.

Based on what's been revealed so far and Riot's recent announcement looks like more additions are coming to the Arcana skin line.

Like its original release in 2021, the new line will be tarot card-themed. Additionally, it will have its champions, namely Ahri, Xayah, Rakan, Ryze, and Hecarim boast a theme of deep shades of red and black and have a mysterious orange glow that emanates shining particles when using their abilities.

Each will be priced at 1350 RP.

Here's what they look like.

Arcana Ahri

Arcana Xayah

Arcana Rakan

Arcana Ryze

Arcana Hecarim
