Prestige Chosen of the Wolf Swain

Picked up Prestige Chosen of the Wolf Swain from the event pass after grinding for weeks, and honestly the difference from base Swain caught me off guard. After around 50 games split between ranked and normals, this skin completely changed how I approach teamfights with the Grand General.

The Q feels way more responsive than Northern Front or even Dragon Master. There's something about the wolf spirit animation that makes last hitting smoother, probably because the projectile is clearer against minion waves. His W is where this skin really shines though. The golden wolf trap stands out perfectly in river fights, and I've noticed enemies actually respect it more compared to the muddy red circle on base. During a baron dance yesterday, I caught their fed Jinx because she could clearly see the trap edge and tried to sidestep but misjudged the actual hitbox. The ult transformation into that massive golden wolf spirit is insane, making it super obvious when you're draining multiple targets. And the sound cue when you pop ult is distinct enough that teammates instantly know to follow up.

Compared to other Swain skins like Hextech, this one's purely cosmetic but the visual clarity might give you a tiny edge. The exclusive nature means you won't see it every game, which adds to the intimidation factor when you're popping off in lane. My only gripe is the recall animation takes forever, but watching Swain summon that wolf portal never gets old.

Is Prestige Chosen of the Wolf Swain worth it? For Swain mains who want the cleanest animations and best visual feedback, absolutely. But if you're happy with Dragon Master, you're not missing anything gamechanging.
