Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Swain has a large amount of crowd control aswell as a massive amount of sustain. He's going to be tricky to kill unless your carry is ahead, and if he catches you at a bad time you'll have to burn flash. Avoid getting hit by his E at long range as it will give him stacks. ”

veeixin says “Swain, Swain, Swain... Where do I begin? A tanky mage that has a pull, along with zoning potential. Well, first and foremost, keep your distance. I know you want to poke, but Swain is able to pull you in if you're caught off guard. My word of advice is to wait out his cooldowns, especially his pull, and then engage. Synergy with your ADC is especially key when it comes to battling this behemoth! If you can communicate and pull off a successful W + E combo, your ADC can follow up and deliver attacks.”

Your_ Local_Eldritch_Horr says “Outscales you, poke him down early. Don't let him hook you, get out of his e, don't engage in his ult. ”

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 [unless he's stupid weak because you beat the feathers out of him pre-6.] It will last for as long as someone is in his range.”

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

plankbro says “Nope, can't kill him, and his teamfight is game ending. He can poke alot in lane and you likely will never kill him early, mid or late. Don't bother with anti-heal because if his R is active, you should be running AWAY until it goes on cooldown. DO NOT ENGAGE if he has R, unless you're 5 man ganking him and can burst him down before he wins via attrition. Focus on pushing waves early and take towers while he teamfights, because that is where Swain wants to be, teamfighting, so punish him dearly for it by taking a tower or two. You cannot duel him, so play around him.”

ShokLoL says “Swain is pretty weak early game, he has long cooldowns and they are relatively easy to dodge. He also has very low waveclear which Hwei can punish easily. After level 6, make sure you save E defensively in case he tries to engage onto you with his R.”
vixolah says “just dodge his e, q his q, get lvl 6 and fight him perma, fleet makes it easier dodging his e, should win short trades ”

vSomnia says “Early on if he misses E try to look to make a trade. When he has R and Ghost he is pretty much unkillable unless you are extremely a head. Try to avoid him when he has R at all times. You have better wave clear so look to get prio and help jungler or make roams. Your sidelane is much better punish him for taking ghost (if he does) by apllying pressure in side lanes.”

elite600.lunar bacca says “after 6 if you don t have an advantage don t fight him cause he ll ult you and you ll die early you should never do long trades with anyone since you have long cd vlad has a problem against high hp characters, against swain you can rush liandrys instead ”
sennahGG says “He has a Lot of Sustain Hard to Kill Mid / Late Game”

Kikife says “Stand behind minions and try to bait out his stun pull. Once you've done this, it's typically quite easy for you to get some nice poke down onto him with W and Q, with E as an extra added bonus. Once he hits 6 and has R, he can win the all in every single time so try to lower him and bully him out of lane with your poke.”
freljordwhoree says “Too much sustain, his ult will make his long trade way better than yours”

gaarrett says “If Swain is picked at all and they left Sylas open, I'm slamming this pick so fast I break my mouse. Fantastic ult on you, it keeps going until enemy champions leave the radius or everyone is dead. I like the second scenario a lot more. Dodge his E with yours, lay into him with W and passive stacks. ”

149Gray says “You can trade Q for Q but sustain from minions before doing it again because his Q outdamages your heal, dodge his E or pool it if needed.”
