Jhin vs Swain Matchup Summary

The Jhin vs Swain matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 125 recent matches analyzed, Swain wins with a 56.8% win rate compared to Jhin's 43.2%, giving Swain a 13.6 percentage point advantage. Swain dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Jhin players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Swain leads by 775 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Swain has a strong advantage in this matchup. Jhin players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Swain overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
