Vayne Bot Lane Guide: Mastering Late Game Hypercarry
Vayne scales exceptionally well into late game, capable of single-handedly carrying matches with her powerful dueling potential and Q mobility. Her extreme mobility allows for both defensive play and skillshot dodging, particularly devastating when combined with her Ultimate (R).
Her W ability is crucial for winning extended trades and melting through tanks. However, she requires significant mechanical skill, as mistakes can be fatal. Crowd control is particularly dangerous, and she's vulnerable in team fights without her Ultimate.
Early Game Strategy:
- Play safely in the first few levels
- Rely on Support for early aggression
- Focus on farming and avoid unnecessary trades
- Use brush control to compensate for short range
Mid Game Approach:
- Rotate to mid after taking bottom tower
- Stay close to Support for protection
- Farm side lanes efficiently but safely
- Look for picks with Support/Jungler
- Don't isolate yourself from the team
Late Game Tactics:
- Maintain close positioning with Support
- Avoid overaggressive plays in team fights
- Kite and target the nearest enemy champion
- Keep moving to avoid being an easy target
- Utilize Ultimate for invisibility and outplay potential

Success with Vayne requires patience, precise positioning, and excellent mechanical execution. Focus on farming safely early, scaling through mid game, and dominating late game team fights through proper positioning and target selection.
