freuio123 says “Swain Spieler sind addicted im early ihre E ins Nirvana zu werfen um 30% Leben zu verlieren auf early Trades (spreche aus Erfahrung). Du kannst easy early Trades nehmen, outpushst und outroamst ihn und all ins auf 6 gewinnst du auch, weil du reinulten kannst, er ultet, du ultest raus und sobald seine Ulti abgelaufen ist ultest du wieder rein. Ignite , wenn du einfach besser bist und ihn killen willst ansonsten kannst du einfach ganz entspannt roamen und map for free spielen.”

Don't buy an early executioners if u dont have to, that items sucks and we have ignite anyways. His E is AOE splash. Dont let the minions right behind u get hit. When he pulls u with E, could hit a w on him if he sucks. Avoid getting hit by E's or else he'll be too tanky to deal with, either side step it or walk forwards. Can use E to block when u get hit by his E (to block Q,w dmg), but not needed. ”

Atemporal says “REWORK??? ANTES = Este confronto é incrivelmente fácil. A única maneira de Swain vencer é se você errar e levar muito dano cedo. Se você for atingido pelo E de Swain, levará muito dano porque ele o puxa e o ataca automaticamente até a morte. . O nível 1 seja realmente cuidadoso. Eu gosto de começar E vs Swain, então sempre que ele usa E, eu pulo para frente/para os lados para evitá-lo e então eu pulo nele para uma troca rápida. O CD E de Swain é de 10 segundos e seu E é de 9, então você pode fazer isso toda vez que ele usar E. Swain tem que usar E para cutucar você. Sempre que ele usar, pule nele para uma troca rápida. Se ele nunca usar E, você ainda pode ir até ele, mas certifique-se de posicionar de forma que o E dele atinja os lacaios atrás de você, e não você. Você vence esta pista no início do jogo e supera a escala ele também. Jogue super agressivo no início, ele não tem mobilidade, então W está livre para pousar. Após o nível 6 vale super a pena trocar ults com ele. Se ele ultar e você sabe que não pode matá-lo, ulte imediatamente. Seu R dura 12 segundos, então espere e perma lute com ele quando estiver em cooldown. Quando você tem 2 itens você já o destrói, e em 3 itens acabou para ele. Use a velocidade de movimento passiva para evitar o E sempre que entrar e dance ao redor dele para evitar todas as suas habilidades. Você toma acenda para que você ainda tenha potencial de matar, mesmo que ele use ults.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Swain’s early game is rather weak. If you’re playing as an early game champion, try to get an early advantage to reduce his scaling. His Root Nevermove(E) will only trigger on the first enemies he hits on its return. Stand near your Caster Minions and walk forwards when he throws it out so the minions get CC’d and not you. At level 6, his kill pressure and survivability increases. Unless you have the advantage, disengage as soon as he activates his Ultimate Demonic Ascension(R).”

Body Those Fools says “This matchup is very easy. His main damage (Q) is incredibly short range. Don't walk up far enough to where he can Q you for free. You have to sidestep his E and W or you will lose trades and give him free HP. Just poke him down and all-in him when he's low enough. You can just E away, Ult him away, or into your tower after level 6 if he Ults. His Ult will expire fast if hes not around any enemy champions. You can go Ignite in this matchup (because of his Ult healing) if you want to all-in him after you poke him down or for during teamfights when he's able to hit multiple targets with it. You can also just go Teleport for macro and sit on an Oblivion Orb.”

Once he hits his E, he forces you to jump away and lose the trade, or automatically hits his Q and W aswell, winning the trade anyway. As soon as he presses R, all you can do is run or jump away, but as soon as he has Rylai's and Ghost up, even that won't help anymore.”

You can use your E to stop his engage and counter him pretty hard. You solokill him pretty easily at level 6 if you can get a little poke on him first. He may build some MR so make sure to check his build. I prefer Electrocute for a bit more damage and kill threat, but you can go PR if you want. Aery/Comet are okay into Swain too.

As long as you have fingers, you can't really get hit by his W either so this should be a very easy matchup. Use your ignite when he starts his ulti to reduce the healing.”

Avucado says “Play in front of your casters, if he e's it wont go through them. Start E because he has low range and zero mobility. Look for hooks and E's when you can. You do a lot of damage to him especially if you get ahead. If he uses R, just E away and wait it out. ”

LunarVortex says “His E is pretty easy to spellshield with how telegraphed it is. If he's close enough, he might try to Q you right before his E hits you to break your spellshield, be aware of that and time it well. In teamfights, zone him and prevent him from getting good value out of his ultimate with your Q and R.”

Fuzzmonkey says “Dodge his E and this match up is pretty easy early game, you might take some trades every now and then when you W in but other than that, be extremely aggressive early game. Always take ignite for this match up like you would against Vladimir. Level 6 would be a good time to have your ignite up so that he doesn't heal off minions when he uses his ultimate.”

Kords says “Lack of instant wave clear, his Q, W and E are what it takes to remove a wave. Swain can catch you with his E though, so be careful of that, it’s fairly slow moving and can only root you from the behind, so minions can block it. His Ult turns the tides in teamfights, so you must be careful of that, exhaust, ignite and stun him to stop him from getting close to you or your teammates, he’s normally played ADC-Supp nowdays but is a decent pick for Mid and Top lane. Dodge E, shove, roam because he has no gapcloser. He is an absolute beast in teamfights. So care. His passive (pulling you closer) works with teammates CC too not just his.”

Sylvan Lore says “I haven't had too many games against swain, but he is quite strong right now. You can afford to trade early, but if he ever lands his E onto you, you will always lose the trade. Dont forget that it can travel through minion waves as its deceptive in how far it can catch you and pull you in from. Building morellonomicon second really hurts his healing and he isn't very good at tanking consistent damage from mages like Orianna. Outplay his E and the lane is won for sure. His Ult is quite strong if you get stuck in it so avoid close encounters at all costs. Recommend Barrier and Dmg Build”

Netwou says “Early on in the game he can't do anything to you once you have your ultimate as he will simply lack the damage without his 2 core items so you should abuse that and go ham whenever you can.Autoattack him once every time his shield is up to remove it and then E/Q+auto attacks relentlessly when he tries to last hit minions. Save your W if he jumps on you, or retreats so he has no minions to dash too.His windwall will not block your Q or W. It will block your E however so you should wait till you are in melee range or his wall is on cooldown before you cast it in duels”

richardlized says “Swain’s E is pretty annoying, but he essentially only has 2 abilities against you in lane since his W is incredibly hard to hit and you should dodge it easily. Most swain players will chain W with E which is what the matchup comes down to - dodging E. He is a battle mage, but still very easy to one shot by someone like Zed. After you dodge his E, he is defenseless and you can WEQW and win the trade hard with AAs. After level 6, you can ult to dodge his E and combo him. ”

Veralion says “The only thing you need to worry about with Swain is his E. It goes through creeps and has quite a far range, and will guarantee his full combo if it lands. It’s got a reasonably long cooldown, so make sure to bait it out before going up for farm. Does no damage outside of his ultimate and requires you to repeatedly get caught by his E to lose the lane, which is nice. A chill lane to scale up in so long as you're attentive and respectful. It's just tough to finish him off since he usually goes RoA and gets a ton of health back with his ult. I've only been seeing him as support of late since other champions can set up his passive for him. You'll almost never see him mid lane. ”

RikudouDovahkiin says “Swain is a sustain-character as well, like Vlad, but he has a weak side, he uses Mana and building Mana items will usually prevent his stacking MR chance, so your abilities will be much impactful in trades, but care his E combo as it might hurt in lane, since many Swains won't have Ignite, it should be easy to negate those pokes even if you were to get caught to his combos, you might kill him but care for his jungler, who may come and easily cancel an avalanche, since his ultimate has an animation time, if your timing is well enough, you might kill him before letting ulti, which'll also make things easier in lane, so time for one-shottings instead of long duels because his ultimate lasts for 12 seconds and your early cooldown isn't favorable for such duels. Extra note; don't give hi free stacks as it increasese his burst from Demonic Ascension.”

Gageowago says “You outdamage but he outsustains. Avoiding his root means he can't actually poke you if you position right. Poke him with Q W AA for electrocute and then start moving unpredictably to avoid his root. If you get rooted, he will pull you and then hit you with q and go for a w. You can charm him if he roots you because Swain tends to walk straight up to you after rooting you to land his q. Just charm him and then walk out of his w and combo him to easily win the trade. At 6 use your ult or flash to get out of his ult because he will heal off of the damage he is dealing to you. If you keep him down and prevent his scaling then he is useless.”

DravensBukkake says “Ignite/Exhaust/TP/cleanse/ literally everything is good into him You outshove, but he wins extended trades. He can potentially win 1v2's if he has ult, so not that free to gank, but if your jungler is strong early, def easy to shuffle. If he lands E, he wins trade no matter what, otherwise he literally cannot touch you so you out poke him. ”

Weaver42 says “If they are even remotely good, then their W hard outranges you so hard (It's only 1500 less than your ult) you question why they haven't buffed Xerath and nerfed Swain at the same time. And then they are also better at short range than you, which is made worse when they can root you, and after root are able to pull you closer.”

ZEDORSON says “Swain is tanky mage which has lot of CC. Don't waste your W for poking him. Because he will root you with E and will take HP back with W. Executioner is good choice here too. When he is in ultimate and has 70%hp+ don't figt with him. Always wait until his ultimate will end. After he is killable.”

Euphoric Toaster says “Pretty easily lane for Heimer. Swain is completely immobile unless he goes Phase Rush, but either way a simple stun disengages any all-in he attempts on you. Swain struggles with pushing and maintaining mana as well so hes very easy to push in. His only hard CC is his E, which is relatively easy to dodge, so if you dodge those he cant do much against you.”

unownreality says “Its vital that you rush a [[morellonomicon]]. Grievous wounds will reduce his sustain substantially. Wittle him down slowly, but dont take too much aggro. If swain tries to dive, he doesnt have a burst to take you down, so snare him under tower and go all out. They key is not to take too much damage from his Q. ”

RagexAddict says “Swain is pretty weak against you before level 6. The best way to take him on is before that point. At level 6, he will be very hard to kill. Morellonomicon is a very effective item as it will reduces his healing and make it easier for you to win fights against him.”

AzureArmatt says “After his rework Swain became great scaling champion. At first he won't do much dmg to you but suddenly in mid game you are dead before you thought what happened. His strength lies in his ability that will hold you in place and let him pull you towards him (and his team) for deadly damage. Avoid his root and don't sit inside is ultimate area of efect and you can beat him with your eyes closed i belie but later you get out scaled so better try to make him fall behind as soon as you can. without items he's damage is really bad”
