Swain vs Nami Matchup Summary
The Swain vs Nami matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 163 recent matches analyzed, Swain wins with a 52.8% win rate compared to Nami's 47.2%, giving Swain a 5.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Swain controls the early laning stage, but Nami outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Swain needs to press advantages before Nami reaches their power spikes, while Nami should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Swain leads by 0.9 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Swain has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Nami's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
