Based on 39 recent matches analyzed, Zeri wins with a 51.3% win rate compared to Vayne's 48.7%, giving Zeri a 2.6 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vayne controls the early laning stage, but Zeri outscales as the game goes longer.

Zeri has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Vayne'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.
