Vayne vs Karma Matchup Summary

The Vayne vs Karma matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Vayne wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Karma's 50.0%, giving Vayne a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Karma controls the early laning stage, but Vayne outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Karma needs to press advantages before Vayne reaches their power spikes, while Vayne should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Karma leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vayne has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Karma's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Karma dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Vayne. This lopsided early game means Karma can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vayne is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 60.0% win rate — 20.0 points above Karma. Extended games heavily favor Vayne, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Karma must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Vayne reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vayne survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
