Swain is THE motherfckin' counter to all them smartass mid lane AD bruisers/assassins/black cleaver abusers dominating right now. Lee Sin? Please... Talon? No problem. Pantheon? Not even close. Kha'Zix? No sweat. Zed? Not even a fuckin' drop of sweat.

All you need is Armor seals instead of Mana Regen (which would normally be recommended for Swain) and start with Crystalline Flask + 5-7 pots (depending if you want a ward or not) instead of Boots + 3 or whatever. If you lose lane it's because a) you got outplayed so go practice Swain some more. b) you got camped, in which case your other lanes should have relieved pressure and your jungler free reign to invade.
