Mordekaiser vs Swain Matchup Summary

The Mordekaiser vs Swain matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 26 recent matches analyzed, Swain wins with a 57.7% win rate compared to Mordekaiser's 42.3%, giving Swain a 15.4 percentage point advantage. Swain dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Mordekaiser players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Swain leads by 1.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Swain has a strong advantage in this matchup. Mordekaiser 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.

800Mordekaiser
957Swain
Swain heavily out-damages Mordekaiser by 157 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights.

Utility
0.5Mordekaiser
1.9Swain
Swain brings significantly more crowd control than Mordekaiser, with 1.5 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Swain far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,727Mordekaiser
