Vayne vs Gnar Matchup Summary

The Vayne vs Gnar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Vayne wins with a 62.1% win rate compared to Gnar's 37.9%, giving Vayne a 24.1 percentage point advantage. Vayne dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Gnar players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Gnar leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vayne players can confidently pick into Gnar and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Gnar away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
