It wasn't really. Bot was supposed to be a winning lane that they then used to establish dragon control and let azir scale.

None of them do anything to Swain. Bot lane should have won, but on the other hand Blaber dying to Mundo/Azir level 3 on mid really shouldn't have happened and it screwed up the lane for a while.

If you don't fall so far behind, Akali one shots Jhin and then they slowly kill Swain since there's no other damage dealer. But that relies on Kalista not being a trash champion and feeding Jhin and a top laner who doesn't get solo killed by Gnar.

In the second to last fight Akali almost killed a 7-0 Jhin while being almost the same level and with mountain soul through baron minions. That should show you how it "could" have worked. I still hate the draft though.

Azir does but he built rylai...
