Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.6% popularity, Swain constantly encounters meta-dominant Milio (8.7%, 5th place out of 51 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Swain performance in the current patch. Challenging situation: Swain's weak 48.0% overall win rate compounds with this difficult matchup, creating serious obstacles for climbing. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Cheap Shot combination (52.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, Morellonomicon, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 46.5% to 67.0% - potentially game-changing.

Vision deficit: Struggling in both the matchup and vision control (0.75 vs 0.80 wards/min) demands defensive warding and heavy jungle coordination. Damage doesn't equal wins: Swain outputs more damage (647 vs 190/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Milio: leads in both matchup win rate (53.5%) and KDA (3.80 vs 2.30, 2nd vs 35th place). Swain players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Milio as Swain (Support)

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 Swain deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Milio deals primarily magic damage (80.56%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Milio, ranking 42nd (versus 48th for Swain) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.8 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Swain Support versus Milio Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Swain player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Milio 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.

Swain tips:

  • If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
  • While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
  • Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
  • Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

Playing Against Milio

  • Milio's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
  • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Milio.
  • Catching Milio with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
