While statistically Swain is slightly stronger than Rell as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Swain deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Rell has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Rell, ranking 12th (versus 49th for Swain) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Swain player to maintain constant pressure on Rell, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
