Key takeaways
- Current data slightly favors Karma, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Karma wins 56.3% of 174 games (95% range 48.9–63.5%).
- That is 8.0 points better for Karma than both champions' overall Support win rates predict (48.3%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
- Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 36, within the margin of error (89 games).
- Karma players pick the Q > E > W skill order far more often against Swain: 59.7% of their other Support games, 72.2% here.
How we calculate this
Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.
A game only counts when Karma and Swain played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.
The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.
Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.
"What changes" compares Karma's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).
Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Karma Build vs Swain
Usual Karma build (Support)
78.8% win rate · 33 games
Against Swain
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 8 of 40 Karma games against Swain carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Karma's standard build instead.
- Karma usually completes Echoes of Helia first, at 12.8 min (median of 42 games).
- Swain usually completes Rylai's Crystal Scepter first, at 12.9 min (median of 66 games).
- Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.
Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
