Tips Against Swain as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

mUI0g says “The only support that should pose no threat to Xerath. You outrange him and he has low mobility. If you get hit by his E however.... that's due to your poor positioning.”
[2024 S3] Xerath Support Guide by mUI0g | Xerath Player
Aerenax says “Swain is really painful to play against. He pulls you in with his E or any CC that is in your lane, after that he oneshots you and you have a hard time oneshotting him.”
zSharpFire says “Just a big dummy. You have really high damage early game, so you can easily poke him out, just ALWAYS keep an eye for his E. Always take comet and scorch against this matchup. Probably dark seal also.”

Arctic Arrow says “Swain is a major threat due to his strong sustain and crowd control. His Q (Death’s Hand) deals significant damage and his W (Vision of Empire) can snare you in team fights. Avoid standing too close to him to reduce the effectiveness of his crowd control. Engage when his key abilities are on cooldown, particularly after he uses his ultimate (Ravenous Flock) which can drain your health and deal area-of-effect damage. Be prepared to burst him down quickly if he overextends, and use your crowd control to disrupt his positioning and mitigate his healing. Anti heal is a must for obvious reasons!”

BigodeOfLegends says “Can pull Senna in with her E, but needs to get in close to maximize her damage, which can be difficult against Senna.”

xpwnz1337 says “Alistar's counter that's super weak & ADC dependant RN. Skill matchup ( ADC skill mostly) Counterplay: Rush Mercury's Treads. Play around E CD. You can only burst Swain. To escape demon press Q+W after he root you. Antiheal.”

LA COLORADA says “complicated if your adc is stupid. save your ignite for his ult and sidestep his W and E. shut him down early on, otherwise he can snowball and be pretty scary.”

TnDD says “Ultisini açtığında ultini at ve kaç. Kaçamıyorsan tutuƟtur at. Tebrikler Swain'i yendin.”
IMANOOBOKOWO says “Dodge his E with W and run him down, be carefull going all in when he has level 6 though try to be near a wall to stun him with your E or wait for him to waste cooldowns( anti heal is a must for obvious reasons)”

Foxirion says “Swain’s high damage and crowd control can pose a significant threat to Nautilus. His ability to pull Nautilus with his passive can disrupt Nautilus’ engages.”

Tips Against Swain in Adc Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

gaarrett says “APCs are muy no bueno for Nilah. If Swain has ultimate up, he's more than fine with longer fights. Dodge his E and you can take favorable, VERY short trades during lane. ”
14.19 Platinum Nilah Guide - The Cooler Samira by gaarrett | Nilah Player
Foxirion says “Swain's crowd control and sustain can make him a major threat to Kog'Maw. His ability to pull targets with Death's Hand, transform into Demonflare, and sustain through damage with Demonic Ascension can quickly take down Kog'Maw in engagements.”
mcdnldsmngrxdd says “Swain's early max range E's can be a little tricky to dodge. If you can't avoid them put yourself in a spot to where you can't be combo'd by his support. With his health and armor stacking, a lot of draven players neglect to build armor pen and health% damage items (BOTRK & LDR) and end up getting choked out towards mid-late game.”
Leaf no Kitsune says “easy matchup. just dodge his root and you can run him down early game all the time. get anti heal early on or bait his ult and run away.”

leoismissing says “He scales, he has a stronger early game, and he will always be useful. Hard match for Aphelios-”
In-Depth Guide from an Aphelios OTP [Patch 13.24] by leoismissing | Aphelios Player
support_diff says “Swain is another infinitely stacking support here though his stacks aren't even near as strong as Senna's. Swain can deal a really good damage while also having cc. He shouldn't be too much of a problem for you if you don't farm near the wave so he can't cc you. I suggest you to play safe early because trading against Swain can be a really bad mistake because he isn't even near squishy and has a very decent damage”

wungus says “Swain loves fighting as much as you do, so do your best to avoid his ultimate. You should beat him before level 6, but after then is the challenge. If you don't get a lead on him before then, do your best to farm, and never duel him!”
[13.17] A Guide to Might and Joy by wungus | Nilah Player
Aronnn says “You can dodge his root by dashing though him before it comes back. His ult is pretty annoying to deal with especially when he takes rylai's.”

gibson8686 says “IF U DNT BAN SWAIN EVERY GAME DNT EVEN QUEUE UP. DNT EVEN INSTALL THE GAME DNT EVEN BUY A COMPUTER DNT EVEN GET OUTTA BED IN THE MORNING!!!!! HOLY MOLY U WILL NEVER HAVE A MORE MISERABLE EXPERIENCE IN UR LIFE THAN ALI VS SWAIN BYE BYE”

Hidden Ghoster says “Take MR vs Swain, don't underistimate his damage. Once he's 6 he will oneshot your sentry (Cres. Turret) while his R is activated. Red/Blue and Red/White are efficient against him, but you need to dodge/bait his E out before you all-in him. ”
