"Hello, everybody!

With today's PBE deploy, we've enabled Swain's update on the PBE for testing and feedback! We've been working on bugs on this guy for a while, but we know a few still exist. If you happen to come across something odd during your time playing as, with, or against Swain on the PBE, please let us know through the Report a Bug tool with a description of what happened and whatever other information you can provide.

I'll be looking through this thread and the reports from the tool for the rest of the 8.3 cycle and beyond. Hope you all enjoy Swain :)
