Statistical Matchup Analysis

Vayne maintains steady 7.0% popularity but rarely encounters niche pick Nilah (1.8%, 26th place out of 30 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 46.8% win rate. Nilah's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Vayne's impressive 52.4% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Nilah presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Triumph combination (64.1% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blade of The Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Kraken Slayer, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 46.8% to 60.4% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Vayne faces both matchup (46.83%) and farming disadvantages (5.87 vs 7.23/min). With a 1.36 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Nilah leads in both matchup win rate (53.2%) and damage (819 vs 812/min). Vayne must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Complete dominance by Nilah: leads in both matchup win rate (53.2%) and KDA (2.30 vs 2.20, 20th vs 24th place). Vayne players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Nilah as Vayne (ADC)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Vayne deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Nilah deals mainly physical damage (93.90%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Nilah, ranking 9th (versus 30th for Vayne) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vayne ADC versus Nilah ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Vayne player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Nilah player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    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.
