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

Rebaulten says “Very scary lane. They often out trade you at every points of the game and will depend heavily on your botlane counterpart to stay alive in lane.”

Apos says “Fun lane usually. Don't fight in his ult. Support Swain is pretty weak otherwise so you can setup free kills on him.”
jmp_01_ says “Abuse his weakness. Dodge his E and you should win the trade afterwards as long as you hit your Hook. After level 6 he can become dangerous so try to put everything into the early game. Take Glacial Augment.”

support_diff says “Swain has a good cc and damage and almost never uses auto attacks except in longer trades, there is pretty much nothing you can do against him but play safe”

support_diff says “Swain is a good support with good cc and damage, but you can E most of his damage. He is also hard to kill when he is in his ult”

Lunar Empress says “His root, eye, and Q has much better poke damage than you do. He's also much tankier than you. Go Glacial to avoid getting him to engage on you once he gets ult.”

Afnyc says “swain outranges, but skill shot reliant. him landing e determines trade winner; it lands they win, it misses you can win. bait and dodge his snare to push up. hard to kill in tf's, if not fed ignore, if fed ult for disengage”

IggyBoom says “Pre 6 he is a free kill and you can dodge almost all spells on default. After 6 play with ur W for a disengage so his Ult gets useless.”
Rakan Chiro(The Assassin Rakan) by IggyBoom | Rakan Player
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.”
Cooper Goes 2nd Best Ahri EUW by freuio123 | Ahri Player
Anguish333 says “- Dodge his Abilities, Especially E (hand) he can use whole combo on you, It's huge chunk of our HP - Save Ignite for his Ult if possible - Minions DON'T Block his Q DMG - He is insane in long fights (His ult perma refreshes if he hits any champion target) So try waiting it out if possible ”
NickLeVlach says “Dodge his E and you'll win this match-up easily since his Q is short-range. Poke him and press ignite so he doesn't heal when he goes into his ult form.”
Syndra Mid is on 🔥💀 by NickLeVlach | Syndra Player
Zeusman00 says “Very easy matchup, avoid being rooted by his E and you are winning. If he gets ahead he can be hard to deal with but at an even state you can generally shred him.”

uwuimsocute says “Even if you are behind, you are winning this matchup. Just pay attention for his pull. You will always outdamage him in 1v1 with LT in extended trades.”

Asturic says “If he lands his e, try to immediately run with e. Scale and avoid fighting.”

hirttola says “you dont have dmg to kill him while he slowly kills you dont R on him”
IN-DEPTH KASSADiN MiD LANE GUIDE (13.8) by hirttola | Kassadin Player
DabiDabi says “He shits on your early game. He out-ranges and out damages you. Level 6 you literally cant kill him unless you are able to dodge his Q and E. Even then his Ult heals him for so much that killing him is still a challenge. I recommend rushing Oblivion Orb.”
Cryniu says “Focus on dodge his skills. Poke him in early game and be careful in lvl 6. Your CC combos will help you a lot because Swain depends of his speed when he uses his ultimate. Use Mercury's treads if you are suffering.”

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. ”

SheriffADC says “A bit like Seraphine but less range. Must be punished before level 6. Remember to get healing reduction!”
Doody_tco says “His poke and root are something, and the healing he gets from his ultimate is something else”
Samira - The Beauty & The Beast by Doody_tco | Samira Player
franksterzz says “Not usually a bot lane champion but the gameplay consists of dodging his E. If you get hit you will probably die. Play around the E cooldown and poke him when it's down. In a fight 2v2, try to kill the adc first because Swain's DPS is not that high without his ult and his tankiness is pretty high for a 'support'.”
Aphelios Comprehensive Guide by franksterzz | Aphelios Player
UwUSoftGirl says “[Poke] I hate Swain. His (E) is annoying and on the way back gets a bigger hitbox than it looks. The good this is that it'll only root you on it's way back, so it's fine if he hits it on it's way out, but not on it's way back. You outrange him so poke poke poke. Also Grievous Wounds after 6.”

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).”
