Guia de counters de Swain Wild Rift

O Swain sofre counter de composições de poke de longo alcance que evitam seus tentáculos e sua zona de drain. Champions que conseguem dar engage antes que ele ative sua ultimate ou que resistem ao seu sustain através de anti-heal reduzem sua eficácia. Sua lentidão o torna vulnerável ao reposicionamento inimigo.

Lux

Lux

spacingkiteanti_engage Lux dictates this matchup entirely through her superior range. Her Lucent Singularity and Light Binding allow her to harass you from a distance where your Nevermove simply cannot reach. Because you cannot reliably root her, you are starved of souls for your Ravenous Flock, preventing you from scaling your maximum health. This distance safety also means activating Demonic Ascension is useless, as she remains completely out of your draining aura. Ver detalhes

Lux dictates this matchup entirely through her superior range. Her Lucent Singularity and Light Binding allow her to harass you from a distance where your Nevermove simply cannot reach. Because you cannot reliably root her, you are starved of souls for your Ravenous Flock, preventing you from scaling your maximum health. This distance safety also means activating Demonic Ascension is useless, as she remains completely out of your draining aura.

Impacto na lane

You will constantly find yourself pushed under turret. Lux can easily clear waves and poke you simultaneously using Lucent Singularity, forcing you to spend mana on Death's Hand just to secure last hits rather than trading. Your health pool will slowly dwindle under her constant Illumination procs, leading to forced, unfavorable recall timings. This constant mid-lane pressure denies you any map priority, locking you down while she threatens with Final Spark.

Como jogar

To survive this lane, you must adopt a strict lateral movement pattern to bait and dodge her Light Binding. Never walk directly toward her; instead, focus on farming and wait for her to waste her crowd control. If she misses her root, you have a brief window to step forward and place Vision of Empire to slow her, allowing you to close the gap. Keep your distance when her Prismatic Barrier is active, and only trigger Demonic Ascension if she makes the mistake of stepping too close.

dodge_skillssustain_under_pressure Ziggs holds a massive range advantage that neutralizes your healing engine. By clearing waves from afar with Bouncing Bomb, he completely avoids the radius of Demonic Ascension. Since he never has to step into your drain zone to secure farm, you are starved of the passive healing that keeps you alive in skirmishes, turning this into a battle of attrition you cannot easily win.

Since he never has to step into your drain zone to secure farm, you are starved of the passive healing that keeps you alive in skirmishes, turning this into a battle of attrition you cannot easily win.

Impacto na lane

Expect to spend the laning phase shoved under your turret. Ziggs will constantly spam Bouncing Bomb and Hexplosive Minefield to erase waves, leaving you struggling to match his push. If you attempt to roam or take a poorly timed recall, his Satchel Charge will quickly execute your tower plates, forcing you to play defensively and sacrificing your early map pressure.

Como jogar

Focus entirely on managing the wave near your tower without letting it crash fully. Use Nevermove to catch Ziggs only when he steps up to auto-attack with Short Fuse, following up with Vision of Empire to slow him for a gank. If he retreats, save Demonic Ascension; do not waste your ultimate trying to force a fight he can easily disengage from using Satchel Charge.

Viktor

Viktor

spacingshove_pressure This matchup is dictated by Viktor's superior reach and zone control. While you want to close the distance, his Hextech Ray constantly pokes you from safety. More importantly, your ultimate, Demonic Ascension, is heavily countered by his Gravity Field. The moment you transform and try to run him down, he drops the zone in your path, forcing you to take a long detour and wasting your crucial drain uptime. Ver detalhes

This matchup is dictated by Viktor's superior reach and zone control. While you want to close the distance, his Hextech Ray constantly pokes you from safety. More importantly, your ultimate, Demonic Ascension, is heavily countered by his Gravity Field. The moment you transform and try to run him down, he drops the zone in your path, forcing you to take a long detour and wasting your crucial drain uptime.

Impacto na lane

Viktor's rapid waveclear with Hextech Ray forces you to spend most of the early game farming under your turret. Attempting to freeze or contest the wave dynamic is risky, as his Siphon Power shield negates your Death's Hand retaliation. This constant pressure limits your map rotations, forcing you to prioritize wave management over early skirmishes while slowly bleeding tower plates if you cannot match his push.

Como jogar

To survive this lane, prioritize lane discipline over aggressive trades. Use Death's Hand strictly to prevent the wave from crashing too fast, and conserve your mana. Never activate Demonic Ascension while Viktor still holds Gravity Field, as he will instantly neutralize your ultimate. Instead, fish for catches with Nevermove when he mispositions to use Siphon Power, and use Vision of Empire from afar to disrupt his recalls or assist your jungler without leaving your tower.

Without the snare to trigger Ravenous Flock, you cannot keep him at bay. He will easily close the gap using the third strike of Mortal Steel and shred you with the mixed physical and magic damage of Way of the Hunter.

Impacto na lane

You cannot safely contest the wave near the center of the lane. Stepping up to clear minions with Death's Hand exposes you to sudden engages, especially since Yone can mitigate your counter-poke with his Spirit Cleave shield. This constant threat forces you under your turret, slowly chipping away at your health bar and leaving you unable to assist your jungler when Yone roams freely.

Como jogar

Never cast Nevermove proactively. Keep this crucial spell ready as a deterrent; Yone is much less likely to dive you if he has to fear a point-blank root. When he activates Soul Unbound, immediately drop Vision of Empire on his tethered physical body. This forces him to choose between taking heavy damage upon his return or cutting his engage short. If he uses Fate Sealed, activate Demonic Ascension immediately to survive his burst.

The moment you activate Demonic Ascension to start healing and dealing sustained damage, she can immediately respond with Scatter the Weak. This pushes you far outside your ultimate's drain radius, effectively wasting its duration and leaving you extremely vulnerable once your transformation expires.

Impacto na lane

Because she can effortlessly disengage your all-ins, Syndra dictates the lane tempo. She will constantly harass you with Dark Sphere and Force of Will while you try to farm with Death's Hand. You cannot easily contest her wave clear without taking heavy poke, forcing you into defensive recall timings. This keeps you pinned under your tower, unable to assist your jungler or secure priority.

Como jogar

To survive, you must bait out Scatter the Weak before committing your ultimate. Position yourself slightly off-center from her Dark Sphere placements to make her stun harder to land. Hold your Nevermove and only cast it when she walks forward to throw a Force of Will. If she wastes her knockback, that is your immediate green light to activate Demonic Ascension and force a close-quarters trade.

Without the threat of your root, Yasuo can easily bypass Death's Hand poke and dash directly onto you. Ver detalhes

Without the threat of your root, Yasuo can easily bypass Death's Hand poke and dash directly onto you.

Impacto na lane

This defensive barrier forces you into a passive posture where you cannot step up to contest waves. Yasuo will constantly dash through minions with Sweeping Blade to pop his Way of the Wanderer shield, knowing you cannot punish him if Nevermove is blocked. Missed roots mean fewer soul fragments, delaying your health scaling and leaving you vulnerable to a dive via Last Breath if you get chipped down.

Como jogar

To survive, you must hold Nevermove like a loaded weapon. Never throw it proactively unless Yasuo has already wasted his Wind Wall on a stray Death's Hand. If he dashes aggressively with Sweeping Blade, drop Vision of Empire directly on yourself to slow his retreat and force him to choose between taking damage or burning his wall. If he blocks your root, immediately retreat under your turret and wait out the long barrier cooldown before stepping up again.

Whenever you try to force a fight with Demonic Ascension, the Star Forger can drop his gravitational black hole directly on you.

Because you cannot quickly escape its pull, Aurelion Sol can channel Breath of Light with impunity, farming massive Stardust stacks off your ultimate’s duration while easily out-ranging your Death's Hand.

Impacto na lane

This dynamic neutralizes your early aggression. Aurelion Sol easily matches your wave clear by dropping Singularity on your minions, forcing you to use Death's Hand under pressure. Because Nevermove is too slow to stop his Astral Flight mid-flight, you cannot punish his roams or lock him down for trades. This turns the mid lane into a passive farming zone where his Stardust stacks grow unchecked while you struggle to crash waves.

Como jogar

To survive this scaling matchup, you must discipline your wave management. Never activate Demonic Ascension unless Aurelion Sol has already wasted Singularity on the wave. Instead, use Death's Hand solely to freeze the minions near your turret, forcing him to overextend to farm. If he attempts to channel Breath of Light on the wave, punish him with Nevermove. Use Vision of Empire to scout his Astral Flight roams and immediately hard-shove to punish his absence.

Without that crucial burst of passive sustain, you are left defenseless at close range against her fully stacked Ionian Fervor basic attacks, which quickly shred your health pool.

Impacto na lane

Expect Irelia to constantly prep the minion wave to create jump points. If she baits out your Nevermove, she immediately gains complete wave control, forcing you under tower where she can dive you with Vanguard's Edge. Any trade where you miss your root means giving up mid-lane priority, forcing you to use Vision of Empire just to scout her roams rather than securing passive stacks.

Como jogar

You must never cast Nevermove proactively while Irelia has low-health minions nearby to dash to. Instead, hold the ability and punish her with Death's Hand when she approaches to last-hit. If she initiates with Flawless Duet or Vanguard's Edge, wait for her to finish her Bladesurge dash onto you before throwing your root point-blank. Once she is rooted, immediately back off to deny her sustained auto-attacks and use Demonic Ascension only to survive her burst under your turret.

This allows him to dance just outside your ultimate's aura while continuously chipping away at your health bar, turning the fight into a pure test of micro-spacing and healing against his sustained magic damage.

Impacto na lane

Trading in this lane is a battle of attrition. Ryze will constantly attempt to spread Spell Flux through your minions to poke you from safety, while you rely on Ravenous Flock pulls and Death's Hand to match his wave clear. Because both of you possess high sustain and wave pressure, neither champion can easily force a recall, meaning the lane often remains locked in Mid, delaying roam timers and keeping both junglers focused on breaking the stalemate.

Como jogar

To win this, you must hold Nevermove specifically for when Ryze advances to spread Spell Flux or when he triggers his Overload speed boost. Do not activate Demonic Ascension preemptively; wait until he commits his Rune Prison to root you, then immediately counter with your ultimate and use Vision of Empire behind him to slow his escape path. If he successfully kited your ultimate, immediately disengage and focus on clearing waves to rebuild your soul stacks.

If you get trapped inside the cage, you cannot close the distance to drain Veigar, leaving you vulnerable to Dark Matter and a devastating Primordial Burst. Your ability to sustain depends entirely on navigating around his cage.

Impacto na lane

Throughout the laning phase, Veigar aims to farm with Baleful Strike to stack Phenomenal Evil Power safely. You must use Nevermove to disrupt his rhythm, but missing it leaves you open to an immediate Event Horizon counter-attack. The lane remains neutral until one of you overextends; a trapped Swain is easily burst down, whereas a Veigar without his cage cannot stop your raw health drain.

Como jogar

To win this, never activate Demonic Ascension proactively unless Veigar has already wasted Event Horizon. Position yourself diagonally from him to make landing Nevermove easier while baiting out his cage. If you do get trapped inside the perimeter, do not panic-walk into the stun boundary; instead, use the internal space to dodge Dark Matter and cast Vision of Empire to slow his follow-up, waiting out the cage before re-engaging.

Impacto na lane

Laning revolves around managing the distance between Corki's long-range Phosphorus Bomb or Missile Barrage poke and your short-range Death's Hand. Because Corki matches your wave clear using Gatling Gun, you cannot easily force him under tower. The lane remains even until someone missteps; if you fail to pin him down before he acquires his Special Delivery package, he will easily out-roam you and pressure other lanes.

Como jogar

To win this duel, never initiate with Demonic Ascension while Corki has Valkyrie available. Instead, fish for trades using Nevermove to pull him in with Ravenous Flock, forcing him to panic-dash. Once his mobility is down, you can safely unleash your ultimate. When he retrieves his package, use Vision of Empire to scout his pathing and slow his Special Delivery approach, keeping yourself safe from the high-damage burning trail.

When you activate your ultimate, her entire offensive pressure evaporates; she cannot outdamage your constant draining and is forced to burn Spirit Rush charges defensively just to escape your zone of influence.

Impacto na lane

Because Ahri cannot easily kill you, the lane revolves around minion management. You can constantly shove her under turret with Death's Hand, neutralizing her roaming potential. Her Orb of Deception forces her to choose between matching your push or trading. If she tries to trade, your Ravenous Flock passive keeps your health pool too high for her to setup a dive, locking her in mid lane and protecting your side lanes.

Como jogar

Keep your distance to make dodging Charm easier, and always hold Nevermove until she commits to a forward movement or dashes. If she attempts to trade with Fox-Fire, pull her with Ravenous Flock to trigger your healing. Should she bait out your Demonic Ascension and escape with Spirit Rush, immediately back off to your turret and use Vision of Empire from safety to scout her potential roams until your ultimate is back online.

Once her cooldowns are spent, Diana has no escape and cannot match your continuous healing from Ravenous Flock and close-range spam of Death's Hand during an extended duel.

Impacto na lane

This matchup shifts the lane pressure entirely in your favor once you reach level five. Since Diana cannot burst you down, her aggressive trades backfire, forcing her to play defensively or risk dying. This gives you total control over the wave state. You can shove her under turret repeatedly, forcing her to waste mana on Pale Cascade to farm, while you look to impact the side lanes.

Como jogar

Position yourself slightly behind your minions to make her Crescent Strike predictable. Hold Nevermove until she commits with Lunar Rush; since she dashes directly to you, landing your root is guaranteed, letting you pull her with Ravenous Flock. If she roams to avoid your pressure, don't blindly follow her into unwarded areas. Instead, use Vision of Empire to scout her path or delay her, then hard-shove the wave to punish her tower.

Zed is forced into a defensive posture, unable to threaten you under your tower. Whenever he approaches the wave to trigger Contempt for the Weak on minions, you can punish him with a point-blank Death's Hand. This pressure forces him to burn Living Shadow just to escape or clear from range with Razor Shuriken, preventing him from roaming to side lanes and locking him in mid.

Como jogar

Never throw Nevermove blindly while Zed has Living Shadow available, as he will easily dodge it. Instead, hold your crowd control for his ultimate. When Zed casts Death Mark, he always reappears directly behind you. Cast Nevermove behind your own back the split second he lands to guarantee an instant root, then pull him with Ravenous Flock, activate Demonic Ascension, and blast him with Death's Hand to turn his dive into a self-trap.

Once you both unlock your ultimates, Pyke loses all kill pressure in lane. He is forced to abandon the mid lane to roam with Ghostwater Dive, leaving you free to secure plates.

Always hold onto Nevermove when Pyke approaches. If he charges Bone Skewer, cast it directly in his path to interrupt him, then trigger Ravenous Flock to pull him. During all-ins, bait his Death from Below by letting your health drop slightly, then reactively activate Demonic Ascension to deny his reset. If he disappears with Ghostwater Dive, immediately alert your side lanes and use Vision of Empire to scout the river.

This helplessness turns Mel into an easy target for Nevermove, letting you pull her with Ravenous Flock repeatedly to stack permanent health while healing back any poke she managed to land.

Impacto na lane

Because Mel cannot threaten your life bar quickly, you dictate the minion waves. By maintaining a slow push, you force her to use her spells on minions rather than poking you. When she steps up to clear, you can easily fish for Nevermove or scout her rotations with Vision of Empire. You will constantly hold mid priority, allowing you to sustain through her minor trades.

Como jogar

Slow-push the first three waves to build a minion cushion, then freeze near your turret to force Mel to overextend. Once she steps past the midway line, fish for Nevermove. If it lands, immediately deploy Vision of Empire behind her, activate Demonic Ascension, and run her down with Death's Hand. If she flashes away, do not chase blindly; simply reset the wave and repeat the freeze, knowing she has no tools to break it safely.

This matchup turns the mid lane into a slow squeeze. Malphite cannot match your wave clear once you use Death's Hand to shove, forcing him under turret where his Granite Shield is constantly broken by Vision of Empire. Since his mana pool drains quickly trying to poke you, his recall timings are terrible. You will secure early priority, letting you move first to skirmishes while he remains stuck clearing.

Como jogar

To secure this advantage, shift your early purchases toward heavy magic penetration and raw health rather than rushing traditional flat AP. In lane, always hold Nevermove until Malphite uses Seismic Shard; the movement speed steal makes him move in a predictable straight line to close the gap, making your root easy to land. If he plays passively, cast Vision of Empire deep in his jungle to steal camps or track his jungler while keeping him pinned.

Because Teemo cannot safely blind your primary damage, you can easily zone him off the minion wave. Every time he steps up to farm, he risks getting pulled by Ravenous Flock. This constant threat restricts his Move Quick rotations, keeping him pinned under his turret. Consequently, Teemo loses the ability to safely place Noxious Trap around the river, securing your mid-lane priority and freeing you to assist your jungler.

Como jogar

Position yourself slightly behind your own melee minions to bait Teemo into stepping forward to poke you. Keep a constant eye out for his shimmer if he uses Guerrilla Warfare, and immediately throw Vision of Empire to reveal and slow him. Hold onto Nevermove until he commits to an auto-attack animation; his locked stance makes him an incredibly easy target to root, pull, and burst down with Demonic Ascension.

Como counterar este campeão

Ângulo de counter

Contrariar o Swain não se resume apenas a escolher um campeão que o mate rapidamente. A verdadeira estratégia é interromper a duração de seu combate: impedir que ele mantenha alvos dentro do seu R, forçá-lo a usar Stasis defensivamente e, em seguida, sair da zona dele antes que ele recarregue o Q e o E. Na rota do meio, assassinos ágeis já presentes nos dados podem puni-lo antes que ele complete seus itens, enquanto alguns campeões de controle podem impedir que ele transforme uma onda neutra em uma rotação no rio. O Swain tem mais dificuldade principalmente quando o inimigo decide o momento exato do troca de golpes e evita lutas prolongadas, nas quais sua capacidade de sustentação se torna valiosa.

Contexto do patch

As melhores estratégias contra o Swain atacam uma de suas três vulnerabilidades: acesso aos alvos, duração da habilidade definitiva ou estabilidade antes de adquirir seu primeiro item. Se ele errar o E de retorno, muitas vezes fica sem o controle necessário para avançar. Se ativar o R muito cedo e o inimigo se afastar, ele perde sua melhor oportunidade. E se assassinos ou campeões capazes de atrapalhar sua limpeza de ondas o pressionarem, ele chega atrasado aos objetivos onde normalmente deveria se destacar.

Leitura rápida

  • Força o R dele, afasta-te e, em seguida, volta a entrar quando o Stasis ou a habilidade definitiva já não puderem mais proteger a entrada dele.
  • Não fiquem agrupados nos corredores jungle: o Swain leva vantagem quando vários alvos são desacelerados ou têm sua energia drenada ao mesmo tempo.
  • Atacar ele no início da partida é mais eficaz do que tentar derrotá-lo durante o momento em que ele está mais forte mid.

Arquétipos de counter

Assassinos ágeis que atrapalham o ritmo dele

Esses confrontos são desfavoráveis para o Swain, pois os adversários podem escolher janelas curtas, atacar antes que o R dele se torne eficaz e, em seguida, evitar permanecer dentro da zona de dano contínuo. O Swain quer que a luta continue; esses campeões buscam criar uma rotação rápida, forçar o uso de Stasis ou Flash e, em seguida, sair ou reiniciar a jogada. A mobilidade deles também torna mais difícil acertar o E de retorno: se o Swain errar esse controle, ele geralmente perde a permissão para avançar e acaba sofrendo com a onda de minions ou com a incursão inimiga.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Swain deve optar por uma rota menos ambiciosa, manter a E para a entrada de verdade em vez de usar o poke e comprar Stasis logo no início. Seu objetivo não é vencer todas as trocas, mas chegar ao primeiro objetivo sem perder muito tempo.

Duelistas e jogadores de meio-campo que impedem seu controle de zona

Esses campeões não se opõem ao Swain da mesma forma que os assassinos puros. Eles o incomodam porque conseguem disputar o espaço em vez de simplesmente sofrer com o R dele. O Yasuo pode reduzir a eficácia de certos ângulos de feitiço e ameaçar o Swain dentro da onda; o Diana pode iniciar um combate brutal se o Swain usar o E muito cedo; e o Lissandra pode quebrar o ritmo da luta com seu controle. Nesses confrontos, o Swain perde quando cede a iniciativa antes de estabelecer sua zona.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Swain precisa jogar em torno das ondas, evitar desperdiçar E no vazio e esperar que o adversário se aproxime demais. Quanto mais ele guardar feitiços para responder ao contato, mais difícil será ignorar seu R.

Os valores favoráveis de Swain ainda precisam ser convertidos corretamente

Esses campeões parecem ser vantajosos para o Swain, pois geralmente proporcionam a ele uma rota mais previsível e uma ameaça de execução menos imediata. Mas o erro seria pensar que o confronto se resolve sozinho. Se eles mantiverem distância, controlarem a onda de minions ou punirem sua falta de mobilidade com suas próprias estratégias, Swain pode acabar farmando sem conseguir converter vantagem. Sua verdadeira condição de vitória é transformar a estabilidade ou a prioridade na rota em confrontos no rio, e não simplesmente sobreviver a mid.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Swain deve ficar atento às oportunidades de E depois que o inimigo usar um feitiço e, em seguida, avançar em direção aos objetivos junto com seu jungler. A vantagem no confronto direto só importa se gerar uma vantagem de zona ou de ritmo.

Matchups prioritários

Fizz

Fizz é um confronto prioritário a ser explicado, pois ele ataca exatamente o ponto fraco de Swain e MID: o momento antes que o R, a Estase e os itens estabilizem o campeão. Se o Swain usar o E para causar dano à distância ou avançar sem visão lateral, o Fizz pode forçar uma troca rápida, sair da zona de dano contínuo e ameaçar a morte antes que a luta se prolongue. Para o Swain, a decisão-chave é evitar trocas desnecessárias, guardar recursos para a entrada definitiva do Fizz e disputar objetivos somente quando Stasis ou Flash estiverem disponíveis.

Katarina

Katarina merece uma análise detalhada, pois o confronto não se resume apenas à rota. Swain consegue segurar certas ondas, mas se Katarina conseguir uma recuperação no rio ou na rota inferior, seu ritmo rapidamente ultrapassa a capacidade de Swain de controlar o centro. A Swain deve usar o W para antecipar as rotações, enviar pings logo no início e manter o E para interromper ou punir uma entrada malfeita. O objetivo não é apenas sobreviver à mid: é impedir que a Katarina transforme o mapa antes que a Swain alcance seu estilo de jogo da mid.

Erros comuns contra ele

Erros comuns contra ele

  • Ficar dentro do seu R depois de forçar a ativação, em vez de se afastar por alguns segundos e quebrar toda a janela.
  • Agrupar-se em um corredor de objetivo sem visão, proporcionando ao Swain um E fácil e vários alvos para derrotar.
  • Ativar o Swain sem um plano para a Stasis dele: se todo o burst for usado antes disso, ele geralmente retorna com tempo suficiente para virar a luta.
  • Deixar o Swain chegar até Rylai sem resistência e, depois, ter dificuldade para sair da zona dele.
  • Confundir um confronto favorável no Swain com uma partida vencida: mesmo um campeão que o derrote na rota pode perder se se envolver em lutas prolongadas por objetivos.

Notas do coach

  • A melhor resposta ao Swain geralmente envolve uma questão de timing: forçar o uso da habilidade definitiva dele, se afastar e, em seguida, voltar. Muitos jogadores perdem porque encaram o R dele como um desafio que precisam vencer imediatamente.
  • Contra o Swain, fique de olho principalmente no espaço acima. Se ele lutar contra você em uma área estreita com o Stasis pronto, você estará caindo na armadilha dele. Se ele tiver que caminhar em direção a você em terreno aberto, perde muito de sua ameaça.

FAQ

Como derrotar o Swain na rota do meio?

Para derrotar o Swain mid, você deve evitar entrar na luta prolongada que ele deseja. Castigue os erros de lançamento do E, force-o a usar o R sem ficar dentro do raio de ação e jogue em função dos tempos de duração da Stasis dele. Assassinos móveis podem atacá-lo antes que ele complete seus itens, mas mesmo com uma boa vantagem, você deve impedir que o Swain conquiste o rio. Se ele chegar ao Dragon sem resistência, com R e Stasis disponíveis, uma rota que estava ganha pode perder valor rapidamente.

Por que os assassinos são perigosos para o Swain?

Os assassinos são perigosos porque reduzem a luta a um curto intervalo de tempo. O Swain quer preparar o R, desacelerar com o Rylai, reciclar o Q e forçar os inimigos a permanecerem no local. Um assassino ágil, por outro lado, pode entrar, forçar o uso de Flash ou Stasis e, em seguida, sair antes que o dano contínuo se torne decisivo. O confronto fica ainda mais difícil se o Swain desperdiçar o E em ataques à distância, pois ele perde sua principal ferramenta para responder à investida.

Você deve ignorar o Swain durante a habilidade definitiva dele?

Você não deve ignorá-lo o tempo todo, mas precisa evitar dar a ele exatamente o que ele quer. Se o Swain já tiver ativado o R e sua equipe puder recuar, escapar do efeito de desaceleração do Rylai ou esperar o Stasis passar, isso geralmente é melhor do que investir tudo dentro da zona dele. No entanto, se ele estiver isolado, não tiver Stasis ou estiver muito avançado, um ataque coordenado pode puni-lo antes que ele consiga tirar proveito da duração da ultimate.

Será que os confrontos favoráveis são suficientes para neutralizar o Swain?

Não. Um confronto favorável ajuda a retardá-lo, mas o Swain pode continuar sendo útil se a partida for decidida por objetivos em grupo. O verdadeiro objetivo é impedir que ele impõe seu ritmo: forçá-lo a usar R longe dos objetivos, garantir visão antes dele e evitar corredores onde ele possa atingir vários campeões. Se você vencer a rota, mas proporcionar a ele uma luta acirrada, você o coloca de volta em seu melhor cenário.
