- Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 125, within the margin of error (181 games).
- Swain players pick Scorch far more often against Lux: 5.9% of their other Support games, 10.7% 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 Lux 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 Lux
Usual Swain build (Support)
60.0% win rate · 70 games
Against Lux
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 11 of 78 Swain games against Lux 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 12.7 min (median of 111 games).
- Lux usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 13.8 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.
