Key takeaways

  • Swain vs Rakan is an even matchup: Swain wins 50.9% of 163 games, and the 95% range (43.3–58.5%) comfortably includes 50%.
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 47.1% 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: 583 gold ahead of Rakan at 15 minutes on average (66 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Swain players pick Health Scaling (defense) much less often against Rakan: 76.3% of their other Support games, 65.2% 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 Rakan 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 Rakan

Usual Swain build (Support)

80.0% win rate · 15 games

Against Rakan

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 5 of 17 Swain games against Rakan 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 47 games).
  • Rakan usually completes Zeke's Convergence first, at 13.7 min (median of 42 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.
