Vayne vs Volibear Counter Pick

Both champions rely on physical damage, so itemization stays straightforward: armor works well against both, while magic resistance does little. Vayne sits at 58.8% across 374 samples from patch 16.13.1.

The matchup is decided by range before either kit comes into play: 550 for him, 150 for her. Thundering Smash closes that distance by granting speed toward enemies and stunning the first target he attacks, and the wind-up gives Condemn time to follow, where a knockback into terrain adds a stun of its own. Frenzied Maul heals Volibear when its second cast hits the same marked target, so stopping that repeat matters more than the raw damage suggests.

He starts heavier, with 650 health and 35 armor, reaching 2,418 health and 123.4 armor at level 18, and he moves at 340 to her 330. Night Hunter helps only when he is chasing, never when he is running away. His 65 base attack damage is the highest starting figure in this pairing, and The Relentless Storm builds attack speed before eventually adding magic damage to his attacks, the one portion of his damage that armor does not reduce. Against all of this, Silver Bolts deals damage based on maximum health on every third consecutive hit, a number armor cannot block. The difficulty ratings are 3 for her and 8 for him, so the win rate favors the harder kit, and Stormbringer, which disables nearby towers on landing, is where those 374 games tilt back in his favor.
