Hwei vs Swain Matchup Summary

Based on 64 recent matches analyzed, Hwei wins with a 60.3% win rate compared to Swain's 39.7%, giving Hwei a 20.6 percentage point advantage. Hwei dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Swain players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
