How to play Vayne in ARAM Mayhem

Vayne is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #75 of 173 champions, with a 49.9% win rate over 2,347,796 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 10% of games, so expect to see it on both sides. Riot rates it 8/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.

Vayne's damage is mixed (65% physical, 6% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. A notable 29% of it is true damage. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

The On-hit build, on-hit attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Blade of The Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade and Terminus, with a 52.2% win rate over 856,219 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Vayne are Dual Wield, Shadow Runner and The Boom and the Bass. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack speed and on-hit. Skip Archmage and Chain Reaction when you can: they do worst on Vayne. A pair to look for: Dual Wield with Hand of Baron.

Take Flash and Cleanse (2% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max Q (Tumble) first, then W, then E.
