Thread: Patch 7.5 Discussion Thread

Before that patch, could you elaborate on why you'd not use Swift on melee? I personally found it extremely convenient to be able to do whatever I wanted and get away with it on specific jobs. Especially handy to dodge premade attempts or certain LBs used by competent players to ruin your BH.
But, I'm mostly a CC player, and not especially a FL tryhard by any means. I've always found smite pretty overblown for what it does—but I do use it on certain melees that already have escape options and a lack of offensive power like RPR.

After the changes to BH though, and smite going through guard now, yeah, I'm probably gonna be a lot less inclined to use Swift ever.

Not in my experience. There is always some manner of unavoidable discrepancy between teams born out of rng, but this specific example is far from the norm so far from what I've seen. I've had a lot of games where a more organic spread between all teams.
I only took this example to illustrate that a lot of players still struggle to gain BH up.
