Vayne vs Heimerdinger Matchup Summary

The Vayne vs Heimerdinger matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 23 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 56.5% win rate compared to Vayne's 43.5%, giving Heimerdinger a 13.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vayne controls the early laning stage, but Heimerdinger outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vayne needs to press advantages before Heimerdinger reaches their power spikes, while Heimerdinger should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Heimerdinger leads by 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Heimerdinger has a strong advantage in this matchup. Vayne players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Heimerdinger overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
