Swain vs Talon Matchup Summary

The Swain vs Talon matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Swain wins with a 71.4% win rate compared to Talon's 28.6%, giving Swain a 42.9 percentage point advantage. Swain dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Talon players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Swain leads by 1.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Swain players can confidently pick into Talon and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Talon away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
4.6Swain
5.1Talon
Talon edges out Swain by 0.5 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 8 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Talon.
Damage
996Swain
790Talon
Swain heavily out-damages Talon by 206 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Talon 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
11,025Swain
10,988Talon
Swain and Talon generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 37 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.7Swain
0.1Talon
Swain brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.5 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. Talon should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,391Swain
702Talon
Swain vastly out-sustains Talon, healing and mitigating 688 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Swain can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Talon is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Talon, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
