Swain vs Fiddlesticks Matchup Summary

The Swain vs Fiddlesticks matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Fiddlesticks wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Swain's 36.4%, giving Fiddlesticks a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Fiddlesticks controls the early laning stage, but Swain outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Fiddlesticks needs to press advantages before Swain reaches their power spikes, while Swain should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Fiddlesticks leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Fiddlesticks has a strong advantage in this matchup. Swain players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Fiddlesticks 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.
