How to Beat Vayne as Samira (ADC)

The Samira versus Vayne matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Samira deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Vayne deals mainly physical damage (71.62%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Vayne, ranking 9th (versus 10th for Samira) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Samira ADC versus Vayne ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Samira player to maintain constant pressure on Vayne, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
