How to counter Swain
Swain is a control and sustain mage who heals in long fights with his ultimate, pulls with his E, and pokes with his Q. His weakness is his short range and slow start, so he struggles against champions that out-range him, dodge his pull, or match his sustain.
- Vel'Koz — He out-ranges him and wears him down from afar, winning the poke war without entering his range.
- Zyra — She out-pokes and out-damages the 2v2, controlling lane with her plants and ranged root.
