Winning Close Games with Swain

[@ArrowVI]

That's weird, at around 3 minutes during the Kayn gank my screen went black and I didnt see what happened. Must've won that 1v2 surely

[@darby1995]

As a person who loves min-maxing and building stuff, simply showing total damage-dealt data at the end of each game is MUCH MUCH appreciated and I'm sure that there are tons of people like me out there who would love to see that too. Zwag is a prime example of who does that perfectly (commentary on each match's statistics) on every game he plays and he has 3 successful KZbin channels.

[@Viscro]

2 small things about the Vlad matchup in case people don‘t know: he heals significantly more with his empowered Q when he hits a champion and he heals for a percentage of his missing health. This means that it might be worth it in an all-in fight to let him use his Q first so he heals for a bit less and then burst him after (at least early game, when CDs are long).

[@IYPITWL]

Early game is before vlad hits 9

[@sebestein09]

p sure everyone knows what crimson rush does , my enemies always space in lane when i have red q up and im emerald kek

[@c.j.8263]

@@sebestein09 the 2nd part is pretty obscure knowledge tbh, letting him Q earlier so he gets lower missing HP healing back.

Thank you. I've been mentioning this W use on swain for so long on your channel now and been abusing it all of last season. You can even do it without liandrys just not as good and even earlier into the game when playing around drake or nashor. It probably won me alot of games because of how much impact swain can have in an prover team fight with all his slows and pulls and just the insane zone controll. Even if swain spikes in midgame around 2-3 items alot of late games have been carried with this strategie even when behind. No other champ other than maybe yorick ghouls or idk xerath gp or ziggs R(which are just to important to use on sides) can just create a push on command from midlane and force somebody to respond

[@GazingStarDreamer]

Tbh I love close games like these instead of games where you steam roll. Better educational content imo, thanks for sharing your thought processes on how to play from behind

[@brycetonwelch6026]

these zelda tracks keep me coming back

[@nguyenduytruong2981]

That W on side lane creeps is actually disgusting

[@sebestein09]

today i had an insane Swain APC game, went Conq into your build Husum AND I 1V9 NOTHING COULD KILL ME. MY TEAM WANTED TO FF15 BUT I KEPT THEIR MENTAL ALIVE. I WAS LIKE IN THAT PIANTA VIDEO RAHHHHHHHH

[@HusumLOL]

[@bassrabbit4418]

"As long as you're decent at spacing..." Well that's 90% of league players disqualified then.

[@EnriqueGonzalez-pu4mw]

Love the videos, as a swain apc main, I enjoy your content

[@arsenalhenry14vik]

Nice video once again! :) What do you think about the unending despair with liandry or riftmaker with conqueror and ingenious hunter runes?

[@HusumLOL]

dosent sound that bad, havent tried it much tho

[@Kevin-pq8tw]

Hey man, I really like your videos! If you don't mind asking, why do you take aery over other runes?

[@HusumLOL]

best rune for 1v1 and laning phase. Gives me chance to solo kill in a lot of matchups + way more lane pressure. early game super important the higher elo you get.

[@LOCNL0ADED]

Really enjoy your tips on how to play against certain champs. Would appreciate if you could continue giving few tips against whatever champ you play against in your games. Thanks husum

[@HusumLOL]

will do bro thanks for watching :D

[@zeylo4220]

Your videos are insanely entertaining. Always looking forward to the next video ❤

[@HusumLOL]

thank you zeylo :DD

[@tselis]

You know it's going down when Husum breaks out the Eurobeat

[@mike_sanja]

This is a very good video my friend. I hope you continue doing it.

[@brandoperes2789]

Incredible video, super entertaining match too. It's good seeing all Swain players like the same things, playing on all map with W is legit (legit) why I love this champ (lets not talk about KILL SECURE W ON IGNITED ENEMY TOP THAT IS ABOUT TO DIE THAT HAPPENED ONCE) Anyway I meant to ask on stream, I feel like I never have enough mana this season. All mana items are rly bad. Even with double mana runes I get OOM.

[@HusumLOL]

hmmm i mean you cant avoid completly going oom, its okay to go oom sometimes but if it happens regularly you probably have an issue with mana management. Look into how you use your mana (realize how mana useless spells you throw out)

[@miraith_2341]

Your channel is underrated bro

[@treyj5308]

Hussum I just checked League of Graphs and I’m rated top 50 best Swain players in NA a lot of which is thanks to your videos. Thanks man

[@HusumLOL]

nicely done bro :D

[@rotzloffel]

That W trick is a game changer for me

[@christianforsberg5130]

The W usage is very smart, there is one part of it that is problematic. If you start using that strat too early it means you are denying 2 lanes worth of creeps for a long time which means that if you don’t get the objective or win the fight the game is heavily in enemy teams favor. Your team will fall off very quick when only mid wave can be farmed!

[@HusumLOL]

yeah its only late game strat (like 30-35 min+) when its super important to win next fight

[@djan4447]

Yea that W tech is lowkey genius ty

[@a.wsinclair7568]

2:58 rip me (died laughing)

[@maschinkillerhd5825]

Hey Husum when will the swain build video come out ? Like last seaosn where you Showed all good combs

[@HusumLOL]

when im confident in strength of the items.

[@malonet1338]

@@HusumLOL For my part i tried to start with the rift maker and the rune presence of mind for the mana, then, I go on malignance to have power to teamfight with swain's ultimate and after I go on a jak'sho to tank so much After that corebuild i look with what i need in the game And currently I am looking for a build with conqueror and a ROA starting to play hard match ups What do you think about it ?

[@MagicalShoes]

amazing game, love to see w get some attention! 1:43 use e instead of q, pull kayn and get a kill?

[@HusumLOL]

yes didnt manage my mana well there E would have been better if i realized i only had mana for 1 spell

[@WeirdGuy_IdkTbh]

Thanks for the updates, I Love ur videos

[@DJSxd452]

nice spirit tracks soundtrack

[@MrVevo73]

that is actually a very very nice strat

[@RicardoPower]

Love your vids dude . I pref swain top , but still really good stuff.

[@solaire6116]

Idk if someone asked but have you ever tried unsealed spellbook? I swear it could work because ghost/ign/tp are all good on swain at diff times

[@solaire6116]

Its so rough without double mana runes now tho lol

[@max-nj5vs]

Hey quick question, why did you not buy greavous wounds anymore on swain beacuse it takes away from very essential items or was this just one game situation? bc their teamcomp has a lot of healing (vlad, irelia, kayn) and you did not build antiheal even though swain is one of the best antiheal appliers, just curious

[@HusumLOL]

i simply forgot haha

[@max-nj5vs]

@@HusumLOLwhat item would you have replaced it for?

[@saddocatto2784]

swain w may be dodgeable by like 280 movespeed but it realy goes from worst spell to best spell in certain cercumstances

[@avery6758]

amazing content

[@iswearshewas1815]

I still go malignance first, do you think cosmic is much better ?

[@n64ssb]

malignance is not very good. definitely worth it to run double mana runes and go cosmic or rylai's first.

[@HusumLOL]

i think cosmic is better yes

[@yingosensei]

Feels like pushing side waves with W is nerfed this season since liandrys no longer has base damage

[@HusumLOL]

just the slightest touch will still make it push but youre right, liandry does less to minions niw

[@unlikelay]

I was greatly invested in the fortnite scene and I swear that vlad is ex pro fn player lol

[@Pale_Hen]

Excelent video wow

[@haenriq]

oh, the W thing

[@kejncz6002]

I would give anything to have Swain come back as he was in 2022 he was my total carry main on mid. Today it's just right for supp nothing more. it is sad

[@emprahsfinest7092]

Amazing game as usual! I’ve been using W to slow waves so I don’t lose minions under tower, didn’t think about sidelane potential though! Btw, wouldn’t morellos be better than abyssal in this game?

[@HusumLOL]

needed that mr against their 2 AP champs + combo with sorcs

why not ROA for mana?

[@HusumLOL]

double mana runes solves it for me and id rather get some of the other items

[@josabro]

i've been playing agaisnt tf mid and I feel so useless in that matchup, I think he counters me mentally at this point 😓😓

[@HusumLOL]

walk up harass when his W is down. dont trade extended with him early (because of his E) but yeah you prob have mental block its okay i used to never be able to deal with zed but now its fine

Ok here 🔥 👍🍉🤣

[@Dzukill-jp]

Your W use is decent. However still can't understand why enemy didn't rush Nashor when you went bot to deal with superminions. The opponent could've easily win.

[@HusumLOL]

its solo Q and they might have been out of position also new baron kinda hard to just rush (ezreal + swain w poke problematic)

[@buffalo42069]

as a swain main support this make me vomit

[@ayyanahmed366]

I hate rushing cosmic first cant play swain without mana

[@n64ssb]

Just go double-mana runes so you can rush cosmic. All the mana items are garbage except frozen heart
