Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Cheap Shot combination (69.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Frozen Heart, Thornmail, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 45.2% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Blitzcrank's superior warding (0.83 wards/min, 35th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Swain leads in both matchup win rate (54.8%) and damage (702 vs 349/min). Blitzcrank must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Blitzcrank deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Swain deals primarily magic damage (84.28%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Blitzcrank is superior vision control (ranked 35th among supports) (versus 49th for Swain), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Blitzcrank player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Swain player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
