Statistical Matchup Analysis

Vayne maintains steady 7.4% popularity but rarely encounters niche pick Kog'Maw (2.1%, 23rd place out of 32 ADC champions). While not a priority matchup to study, understanding it protects against off-meta cheese picks that can catch you unprepared. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching A+-tier ratings, Vayne struggles with only 48.8% win rate. Kog'Maw's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Triumph combination (80.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blade of The Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Wit's End, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 48.8% to 59.6% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Vayne's superior farming (7.02 vs 6.73/min, 12th among ADC) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.29 CS/min natural advantage. Outclassed across the board: Kog'Maw leads in both matchup win rate (51.2%) and damage (1073 vs 768/min). Vayne must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Skill-based matchup: Identical KDA (2.20) with 48.8% win rate indicates that macro play, team coordination, and clutch moments determine outcomes more than individual mechanics.

    Vayne tips:

    • Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.
    • Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.
    • Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

    Playing Against Kog'Maw

    • Kog'Maw doesn't have a good escape ability, so he is especially prone to ganks.
    • Run away from Kog'Maw after he dies!!!!
    • The range on Living Artillery increases each rank.
    • Bio-Arcane Barrage allows Kog'Maw to kill Baron Nashor extremely early. It can be valuable to ward Nashor when Kog'Maw completes his Blade of the Ruined King.
