Based on 19 recent matches analyzed, Zaahen wins with a 52.6% win rate compared to Vayne's 47.4%, giving Zaahen a 5.3 percentage point advantage.

While Zaahen is slightly favored, Vayne can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Zaahen's mistakes.
