No flame, did you know they changed how swain's pull interacts with the root? It doesn't cancel early, so you don't have to wait until the last second to yank em in. So when it comes to W, you just place it right after immediately yanking and guarantee the pop. Love your content, great job! Edit: holy shit that melee minion execute with W halfway in, butter
Hi Pekin, I just wanted to say: I really appreciate the content your publish. The videos you create and share with us are really enjoyable and I'm truly grateful to have the chance to watch them! This is the case for a lot of reasons, namely: - The educational aspect of it (you KNOW a LOT about the game, and you CONVEY that explicitely); - The positive vibe it has (you play in a good mood and you're generally not toxic); - The great feel it has (it's relaxing and you also have your funny moments that have us smiling or laughing); - The high-level gameplay (which reveals the HUGE amount of experience you acquired thoughout the years); - The variety of champions and even roles you play (which shows how deep your understanding of the game is, and that you truly care about your audience "needs/expectations"). All these aspects make it a treat to watch your videos. So I'm really glad to have found your channel and I'm truly thankful for all your effort and dedication. Keep up the amazing work!!
Ohh, yes, feed that Swain-y goodness straight into my veins. Seriously, Swain has for a while now been my favourite champ to see, so if you like playing him and YT stats agree, I wouldn't mind seeing more vids with him. And now is a pretty good time to pick him up, as he has finally been at a fairly strong position for a while and especially after the rune changes is IMHO stronger and more versatile than what the WR would posit.
tbh i like him better as APC. reptile does adc tier lists and had swain pretty high the last few patches so my buddy and I tried it out. taric swain is kinda fucked up.

Btw I switched to swain main lately and yep even if im behind i focus in stacking and carry the team late game 🤙🏻 And the runes I recommend aery of course not conquer
@@TheShadow7771 You switch to defensive items like frozen heart, gargoyle and abyssal avec Liandry and Rylai and you become a monstruous frontlane for your team.
It does, but you need 1 or 2 good magic damage threats to make it worth buying, and even then it's competing with so many other items since he can double dip into mage and tank items.
It's not for every enemy/team comp, but in the right one it really does the job. The recent rune AP scaling nerfs made good use cases for it fewer, too, but it's still great for comps lacking in frontline/catcher and enemy teams that are too focused. FHeart and Abyssal are also still good or arguably even better single item silver bullets against certain matchups. Also, it's a joy seeing either Husum or TheAfricanDream rep in any comments.
Only if that zoning leads to something (for examples, cutting off retreats is a good use). If you just throw it and they spend a single click to move aside, it was just a miss and not zoning. So many Swain players do this latter constantly.
yknow what else is underrated? this youtube channel, only 10k bruh i literally dont understand how you get so few views.. like isnt it everything a yt league viewer could ask for? between pekinwoof and pekinwoof2
@@manosst4711 Virtually every mage with a CC is a viable support...except Swain. They nerfed his damage too much so he's not as bursty as a Lux or Xerath, and his CC is incredibly difficult to land against all the newer hyper-mobile champions compared to say...Xerath, Lux, Morg, etc. You don't get enough money and levels to get tanky enough to play the invincible teamfighter unless you dumpster your lane (that goes for solo lanes too but triply for support). He could be both, but Riot chose the nerfs to hit support harder than midlane.
@@deth2munkies Why should any mage be played in support? Support IMO should be reserved for enchanters and peelers / utility champions. Nothing else. Riot has talked about mage supports being an issue, hopefully they move every single one back to mid next season
Only really good vs melees and shorter range mages. You start q and poke them any time they walk up with q aa. Vs long range like azir, lux, Xerath etc you won’t get much value out of aery Q start.
They should probably just remove Swain's W and replace it with a cute anime icon and goes "Owooo" when you press it. At least it would have a use then.
Yeah I purposely uploaded a game where I start off poorly but by midgame I am able to basically solo win teamfights. Even after the bad start I had top damage (without having the most gold on the team either). I have plenty of Swain Mid videos where I dominate lane instead. It's good to have a variety of games where you start off behind because being fed from the start is so unrealistic. It's like K'Santes who go 0/2/0 in lane then become God Tier OP Champ at 2 items and is a menace. Did Swain really not look extremely strong once I reached 2 core to you?
@@PekinWoof Yup. Consistent recovery from bad game states into being a serious problem against the enemy team is way more valuable (and IMO impressive) that the once in a blue moon magical Christmas land game, where everything happens to go right from the start. Besides, the biggest issue this game was you setting up plays with a more support-y Swain playstyle, but your team not picking any up, besides the one time. If that's with your communication or their eyes is somebody else's guess, but those plays can't get made alone. ...But two core into damage changes that.
@@PekinWoof "Did Swain really not look extremely strong once I reached 2 core to you?" You looked useless all game and at the last teamfight you died instantly doing almost nothing while Graves 1v5. Having top damage is meaningless, useless metric to think you played well.

Edit: holy shit that melee minion execute with W halfway in, butter
watched 10 minutes now and looked for this comment. it's a guaranteed hit every time but pekin doesn't do it
the reason most people wait to pull is because they want to weave an auto in or use q before w to increase damage output
@@ButterB222 that's simply not true
@@fralekristensen5761 I know I do makes it easier for me to get kills as swain
Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary - zigzawoof
Today, we are playing some Swain in the midlane vs Azir - zigzawoof
Uhh, 've been picking up more Swain a little bit on stream - ziggs awoof
When I get auto filled botlane, not really so much midlane - zigzawoof
Uhm but man Swain feels ridiculous once he gets like a small lead - Zinga woof
uh, because, depending on the team comp - Pekin Awoo
Ah, always a pleasure getting some Swain gameplay from pecan of wolves himself

Sucking 5 of them at the same time is crazy Pekin
Pekin is honestly more of a Bidoof than a Zigzagoon. I can easily imagine him chewing a log.

Now Peking got gor himself new type of fangirls/-boys.
Swain mains arise and now let's praise our supreme pack leader!
Ever since I switched to mainly swain as support I’ve been loving it, he feels like such a bully against certain comps
tbh i like him better as APC. reptile does adc tier lists and had swain pretty high the last few patches so my buddy and I tried it out. taric swain is kinda fucked up.
watching pekin play swain is like winning the lottery
I have trouble with understanding wave states, I love the education, would like to hear what and why you do what you do and when.
Bro really put drain and nuts in the same sentence

Hi pekin, i love the swain content! You can try the summon aery rune page, it makes ur lain much stronger and gives you more pressure.
“Alright you son of a b*tch, I’m in”
I set a sleep timer and fall asleep to your videos (: never stop please
i really enjoy champs that build bruiser AP. Rylai’s is just fun to play with. Morde, Swain, Cassio, asol,
Btw I switched to swain main lately and yep even if im behind i focus in stacking and carry the team late game 🤙🏻
And the runes I recommend aery of course not conquer
No
Swain late game, ha nice joke

Love seeing my boy Swain Train
Does spirit visage works on Swain? If not explain why plsss.thnk u
It does, but you need 1 or 2 good magic damage threats to make it worth buying, and even then it's competing with so many other items since he can double dip into mage and tank items.
With TP (competitive 5v5) would you run flash or ghost? love
You should try the chinese super server build from Husum (roa,cosmic, frozen heart or abyssal,...etc)
It's not for every enemy/team comp, but in the right one it really does the job. The recent rune AP scaling nerfs made good use cases for it fewer, too, but it's still great for comps lacking in frontline/catcher and enemy teams that are too focused. FHeart and Abyssal are also still good or arguably even better single item silver bullets against certain matchups.

why don't you try aery scorch for the laning phase
Hey everybody, welcome to the next commentary. Today we are going to be playing lethality sion in the mid lane.
Pekin, try using your W earlier when you get them with your E. I'm pretty sure that if you will land it.
PEKINNN TRY THE SUPER SERVER BUILD ON SWAIN. I WANNA KNOW YOUR OPINION!!!!
Yeah Pekinwoof playing my main champion
doesent get better than this!
Love your vids keep it up!
id like to see those morgana and nidale videos
Don't also have to land W imo, it's very good at zone control especially as a support.
Only if that zoning leads to something (for examples, cutting off retreats is a good use). If you just throw it and they spend a single click to move aside, it was just a miss and not zoning. So many Swain players do this latter constantly.
@@qwormuli77 you use it to make them give you an easy E tho
Nice video Pecan Wolf
that nilah was so mad

I love swain but I can't play him support anymore, it's just too bad :(
then play him apc, hes op
The champion was never meant to be a support, riot august shoving him into support in 9.14 was the worst move riot could do

Pekin playing my main let's GOOO
Next time you get around to swain try the super server build (aery scorch roa cosmic)
yaaay another necks commentary 😃
Husum (EUW swain player) swears by aery+scorch being the best runes for swain rn. You should try it. It allows you to be a really annoying lane bully.
Only really good vs melees and shorter range mages. You start q and poke them any time they walk up with q aa. Vs long range like azir, lux, Xerath etc you won’t get much value out of aery Q start.

Yayyy new video
Hey commentary, welcome to the next everybody
