Swain vs Yorick Matchup Summary

The Swain vs Yorick matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Swain wins with a 70.0% win rate compared to Yorick's 30.0%, giving Swain a 40.0 percentage point advantage. Swain dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Yorick players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Swain players can confidently pick into Yorick and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Yorick away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
768Swain
916Yorick
Yorick heavily out-damages Swain by 148 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Swain should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Yorick's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,855Swain
12,833Yorick
Yorick generates a commanding 1,979 more gold per game than Swain. This substantial economic advantage means Yorick consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.5Swain
0.3Yorick
Swain brings significantly more crowd control than Yorick, with 1.2 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.

Sustain
1,424Swain
1,258Yorick
Swain vastly out-sustains Yorick, healing and mitigating 166 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Swain can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Yorick is forced to recall.
