Irelia often has a slightly larger longest kill spree than her opponent does. Commonly, Irelia receives more damage than Swain. This typically indicates differing health capacities, but it can also imply that the one champ has less mobility and thus is not able to kite away from further damage when engaged or poked.
In Irelia vs Swain matchups, Irelia typically totals many more minion kills than Swain. Champions who on average don't finish with a lot of minion kills normally do not have to have much CS to be effective. Instead, they are capable of scaling adequately off of their abilities alone. Yet, champions with many minion kills, such as carries, usually need a lot of items to be useful. In either situation, try to beat the averages shown here to do well.
