  • Swain vs Leona is close over 390 games: Swain wins 46.9%, and the 95% range (42.0–51.9%) includes 50%, so Leona is only marginally ahead.
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 45.2% for Swain; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Swain usually wins the lane: 554 gold ahead of Leona at 15 minutes on average (171 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Swain players pick Liandry's Torment far more often against Leona: 36.8% of their other Support games, 45.9% 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 Swain and Leona 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 Swain'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 Swain Build vs Leona

Usual Swain build (Support)

70.4% win rate · 27 games

Against Leona

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 11 of 74 Swain games against Leona carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Swain's standard build instead.

  • Swain usually completes Rylai's Crystal Scepter first, at 11.8 min (median of 109 games).
  • Leona usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.1 min (median of 131 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — 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.
