Swain wins the laning phase against LeBlanc in League of Legends

Farming
5.2Swain
5.0LeBlanc
Swain and LeBlanc farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
911Swain
797LeBlanc
Swain heavily out-damages LeBlanc by 114 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. LeBlanc should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Swain's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,677Swain
10,885LeBlanc
Swain and LeBlanc generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 208 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.6Swain
0.6LeBlanc
Swain brings significantly more crowd control than LeBlanc, with 1.0 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. LeBlanc should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,473Swain
502LeBlanc
Swain vastly out-sustains LeBlanc, healing and mitigating 971 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Swain can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while LeBlanc is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for LeBlanc, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Swain holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. LeBlanc players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
