How to Survive as a Vayne ADC

23,649 views80 comments227 upvotes

Greetings ( __ )

To celebrate hitting Master with Vayne ADC, I'm going to put together a matchup guide!

Draven  *No matter who gets the kill, if Draven gets one, build Ninja Tabi.

Lucian  *He's been popping up in bot lane a lot lately, hasn't he? Ban him or take Exhaust, and he's much easier to deal with!

Miss Fortune  *Getting hit by a Double Up makes lane phase a nightmare.. Don't take poke and look for a kill angle at level 6! *If she goes Comet Lethality, just remember: even if you lose lane, you win the late game. *With Press the Attack and Lethal Tempo, you can play against her like any other ADC.

Varus  *Comet Varus is a one-trick pony in lane, so he's easy to lock down in a 1v1 or in teamfights. *Against Lethal Tempo Varus, use your ult stealth and only fight when Vayne has the upper hand.

Samira  *Just watch out for your Condemn getting blocked by her W. She's stronger than you'd think, so bringing Exhaust is worth considering!

Sivir  *Grabbing Statikk Shiv to match her wave clear is nice. And hey, Silver Bolts don't get blocked by her spell shield!

Aphelios  *The key is to either force an all-in or win the trade at level 1! When he has the Flamethrower, Aphelios is terrifying..

Ashe  *Take Cleanse and fight her straight up—you won't lose! But when you're at a disadvantage, turning back is a death wish. You really need good judgment against this one.

Ezreal  *The key vs Ezreal is to fight using minions as shields! I'm hitting him, but you've got skillshots, buddy.

Xayah  *Get hit by her feathers, and you lose! Dodge them, and you win! Goal: get a kill before level 6!

Zeri  *Vayne is advantaged at every stage of the game. Condemn her early when she tries to wall-hop to catch her easily.

Jhin  *Jhin + a poke support is rough, but once his cooldowns are down, a 2v2 is yours! Take him on with confidence.

Jinx  *Jinx is a late game monster, but Vayne owns the lane. Aim to get kills!

Kai'Sa  *Kai'Sa has a short attack range. Take her Q together with minions, dodge her W, and that's your kill angle!

Kalista  *Kalista is weak to Exhaust. Even without it, using your ult stealth makes her surprisingly easy to catch!

Caitlyn  *Cait + a poke support is rough.. But after the tower buffs, she often makes mistakes in the early levels. Hit 6 and your first item, and Vayne wins. Keep your head up!

Kog'Maw  *Kog'Maw is insanely strong in an all-in. Use your ult stealth as much as possible and fight from a favorable angle—that's the goal!

Tristana  *Tristana has devastating burst! I recommend Exhaust. With her ult up, assassinating her as Vayne is tough.

Twitch  *Twitch is weak in lane. Harass him with your tumble auto attacks!


It might be rough early on, but when you see a Vayne tumbling all over the place in the late game, even your support will crack a smile~

If you have any other questions, drop them in the comments and I'll answer them! So how about a game of Vayne ADC—the most romantic pick out there?

    This is just my personal opinion, but I also used to have Vayne as my most played champion two seasons ago, so I have a lot of love for her. But isn't she really hard to use these days? The conditions to pick her are tricky, and her survivability is so low that it's hard to find angles to deal damage.

      Before the Statikk nerf, it was pretty playable! (Vayne's biggest weakness is waveclear.) But after the nerf, I've been reluctantly building Statikk anyway. However, the hopeful thing is that other ADCs have also been nerfed, so Vayne has grown to the point where she can fulfill her role as an ADC, I guess? It's hard to pick her against matchups that are too tough in lane, like Caitlyn Lux... but against Ezreal, Zeri, and Kai'Sa, I think she's worth picking.

      원딜Thank you for your words. I also feel the same way – even with Statikk Shiv, the wave clear is still way too bad, and when I consider picking her against weak laning opponents, I just end up not picking her because I think 'why Vayne, though?' I hope the meta shifts back so we can actually play Vayne again. I have 4 Vayne skins, including Soul Reaver Vayne T.T

      ADC_1Soulstealer Vayne T.T I used to really want that skin too... now I have all the skins.. There are many reasons to go Statikk Shiv. Let me share one pro tip: When you farm minions with Statikk Shiv, you also deal damage to enemies from range, but it also procs Taste of Blood and even Presence of Mind! (whisper whisper) Waveclear is still slow, but I still think it's an item you can't leave out. Who knows next season? And the item's performance is better than you think (it synergizes well with Vayne beyond just waveclear!)

      rather than being awkward to deal with like Caitlyn it's more like I want to ban him because he's OP, that's the vibe I got lololol

      If you're going with a Statikk build, I recommend taking Bloodline! As for items, Statikk and Trinity are fixed until 2 core items, then from the 3rd item onward, I go flex with Blade of the Ruined King, Guardian Angel, Maw of Malmortius, etc.

    Against Ezreal, a support like Seraphine or Karma who pushes the lane well is also good...

    When playing Vayne, the real scary thing isn't the enemy team... it's our support bastard who wants to be a hero.

      if the support is aggressive that's actually good but if you go blitz and can't land hooks it's pure despair T.T

      A lot of people think "Vayne means Lulu!" but... I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a true Lulu expert.. Rather, supports like Karma, Vel'Koz, and Heimerdinger who apply pressure in lane and help with waveclear are easier to play and synergize well!
