Key takeaways

  • Lux is favored in this matchup: Lux wins 64.3% of 84 games, and the whole 95% range (53.6–73.7%) is on the same side of 50%.
  • That is 14.2 points better for Lux than both champions' overall Support win rates predict (50.1%), 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 138, within the margin of error (81 games).
  • Lux players pick Sorcerer's Shoes much less often against Swain: 81.3% of their other Support games, 71.4% 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 Lux 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 Lux'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 Lux Build vs Swain

Usual Lux build (Support)

75.0% win rate · 28 games

Against Swain

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 6 of 35 Lux games against Swain carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Lux's standard build instead.

  • Lux usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 13.8 min (median of 63 games).
  • Swain usually completes Rylai's Crystal Scepter first, at 12.5 min (median of 54 games).
  • Skill priority: E > Q > 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.
