Yorick vs Vayne Counter Pick

Vayne holds the tool meant to answer a fighter who stacks health, yet she still loses the matchup. Silver Bolts converts every third hit on one target into a share of maximum health, and at level 18 that means 2,588 health, which is exactly the pool it is built to punish. The 16.13.1 results say otherwise: Yorick won 58.4% over 389 games.

The problem is durability. Vayne begins with 550 health and 23 armor, which makes her one of the most fragile starts in the game, and she only reaches 2,301 health by level 18. Her Silver Bolts also requires three hits on the same target, a hard task when Mist Walkers crowd her and every one of them is a valid target that gains her nothing. Condemn pins a single champion against a wall for a stun, but Dark Procession lays down the terrain Yorick chooses, and the ghouls that actually matter ignore the push entirely.

The skill floor is also real: Vayne rates 8 and Yorick rates 6. Her damage depends on exact positioning at 550 range, and she moves at 330 while he moves at 340. Her damage is physical while his is mixed, so armor makes sense for either side. Final Hour’s bonus attack damage and Tumble’s invisibility are both easier to handle from behind cover than in open ground.
