Heya, Freezzer001#EUW here (welcome to look at my OP.gg for further data)

Ive now for the first real time ever started a climb, went from Iron to silver 3 already this year and was told I should be able to reach Gold, sadly I had a big lose streak which fucked my MMR and now the climb is pretty slow.

Ive had very good results with Swain on Bot so far (65,9% on 41 games) but I feel like im doing something wrong. Idk if it's my team or myself but I often feel like I cant do much if one of my laners lost hard, I cant really kite or poke to the same extend I could with, for example, smolder or Viktor. Everytime I try to fight around an objektive, it feels like I am forced to commit due to things like the pull on e or the fact that I just need the enemy close to me when im in R.

Last game I had a super fed enemy Quinn who just roamed and got wayy ahead, how do i navigate that situation? I feel like if I just poke her with W my team would just instandly engage and die because they are silver and want to fight more then anything.

Im open, of anyone wants, for a coaching seassion (i mean it's silver so there is probably something obvious im missing)

Anyways thanks for any help and im looking forward to any Tipps you guys have :)

i hate modern font of life. The rune feels garbage to use and the "rework“ they did years ago to make it more popular worked to like, no degree.

Hello, Im a EUW Silver to Gold player who is currently on his first ever serious climb. (I do not think my rank is related to this rune, i just want my favourite rune to be heard and not forgotten)

I have been playing league for a pretty long time now and, ever since swains rework, played a lot of him. I am a cho gath main with a strong prefrence for Tanky Ap Champs, who, wouldnt you know, build that slow ap hp item (something something cepter) and if they dont they usually have pretty nice slow options for the enemy.

I used to LOVE font of life. That rune felt so good to use, poking top or bot lane from mid with swain W was so rewarding, since i was helping my team, getting stacks AND poking the enemy.

For those who dont know, font of life used to be that, when you slow or cc an enemy in general, he gets a mark over him that heals him when he attacks the champion thats under the mark. Super fun and had a 1% (later 0.9%) hp scaling so it really rewared me as a swain getting more stacks, not to mention that i would bassically apply it to everyone in a teamfight which just made it even better into the later stages of the game.

Now font ONLY gives hp to allies near you, and its only like, 30 hp every 15 secs or so. No poking from other lanes, no useage for every teammate, no. Just 1 heal of 30 hp for the lowest ally.

I hate that so much, its bassically just a really REALLY shitty alistar passive. I cant use it on any of my champions anymore, not even swain on bot.
