Swain pretty much hard-counters any melee mid champ. The sole exception I can think of is Fizz, because his W hard-counters any kind of self-healing. So yeah, sure, he works just fine against Kassadin.

From my experience; He's very hard to deal with in lane, due to his kit in general. As soon as he hits 6, going all in on him just isn't an option any more.

- Can't farm

- Can't kill him

- Can't poke him

He's a somewhat toxic champ to play against, really. It's almost like the mid-equivalent to Yorick.
