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

Yashiao says “Básico: Não fique parado que nem um bobão, ande bastante para o lado e para o outro pra não ser pego por nada”

Lurs says “Dodge his E and you should be fine. He's pretty useless as far as damage goes. And you can counter his ult with morellos.”

nyashaor says “He can be annoying. You have an advantage when he doesn't have his "arm stun". Use it.”

quecck says “Not so hard pre-6. You can get a lead on him at this time, and mess up his scaling. When he ults make sure your whole team backs off. It will last for as long as someone is in his range.”
Y2k2k says “Can counter shen his cc and pull, can make it hard for shen to lane probably. Also his ult just makes him not die.”
Razing42 says “Care for his healing with R, and punish him if he misses his E.”

Aerenax says “Swain is a "support" with a lot of damage, crowd control en healing. When playing against him, getting anti-healing is a near must for either you or your adc. For teamfights: if Swain ults you can slow him with Q or R to create distance and let his ult run out. After that you can freely re-engage. ”
Liluu says “? very hard lane | he can cc both you and your ADC | you have to be constantly thinking about positioning and dodging his abilities, and even then he can just get super lucky and cc you anyways | his poke is hard to counter and when he gets ult AND he's ahead, consider your lane done | Never fight in his ult, his ult stays active the longer you and your allies are in it's range | the longer the game goes on, the easier it should be since you will eventually out heal his damage (unless he bought heal cut) ”
Ryecheria says “Typically mage supports have more range and better poke, but you could shield damages from abilities. Make sure to dodge crowd control abilities. If they miss abilities (especially crowd control abilities), look to punish or all-in. In lane, dodge his E and you can soak damage from his other abilities, mantra e the team to disengage from his ult. Wait for the ult to diminish and the fight. ”
HumbleMundo says “Only one form of cc that can pop ya passive and is often just a tank off to see who can sustain longer”

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

Hexeria says “[You cant fight him in his Ult. Play with Phase Rush, trade with him as best as possible and quickly get out and wait for his Ult to run out, if he casts it.] [AGAIN YOU CANT FIGHT HIM IN HIS ULT. JUST DONT.] [Other than that just try to keep him stunned and finish him with your teammates.]”
Vlasuo says “Swain doesn't sound like a terrible matchup until you experience it once. If you are sure he won't build armor I recommend rushing Blade of The Ruined King as your first item as it helps to cut his HP quick, and then just follow with the usual: Kraken + Infinity Edge. Take Flash + Ignite + Second Wind + Doran's Shield. Extra: You can only windwall his E”
Idleangelo says “Try to bait his E out, then you can freely trade with him. Getting hit by it usually chunks you out, be careful.”
Halkem says “Swain has an oppressive laning vs malz with a low CD aoe spell to insta-clear your voidlings. He's also really bulky and can run you down easily post-6 if you're not careful. ”
The Milelator says “Pretty even match up. He will easily stack on you, however he has high cd on W and E. Try to stand IN FRONT of MINIONs to avoid his E pull. You can trade as much as you want, until he has Liandries. Once has that, he will probably win the 1v1, since his healing is too strong. However you have better push and he will never kill you, unless he uses flash and has Rylai's AND Liandries. Play for team OR push turrets.”
Anth0ny_Azir says “He will get aggressive lvl 6, so look to shove in tower. Take ignite into this matchup because of his healing. Dodge E as best as possible.”

Glitchgun says “If you wanna kill Swain, do the crit build instead. He's a little tanky, but it's quite easy to kill or escape him if you go Hail of blades. If he catches you and you pull in, it's you that got the upper hand, because now you're in w range and can just do a lot of damage!”

Lindroganti says “Easy if you can dodge his e. If you can't, play safe and build bork second item. Then you kill him with ignite. You can build it first, but it would tunnel you into being only anti swain early game. Take ignite.”

stormraided says “You are more likely to lose to him with Electrocute/First Strike, as it is much easier to fight him with the Conqueror setup. Try your best to dodge his E because he can chain combo it into W and Q, his Q is a straight line so walk to the side to dodge it. If he ults you can E away from it and wait till it wears off. All in only when his ult is on cooldown.”

Fuzzmonkey says “Always take ignite in this matchup. He will try to clear out your pets as soon as possible with all his AoE effects, so try to prevent that from happening and you will win this matchup. ”
