Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Ezreal have a slight edge at level 2 if you land Q into E combo before Nami can respond with her Q, but Nami's W sustain and Vayne's E poke make extended trades risky — you win short all-ins, not prolonged skirmishes.
Post-6, your R adds a reliable engage tool, but Vayne's R makes her nearly unkillable in a prolonged fight, so you must burst her down quickly or disengage.

Your best pattern is to Q-hook Vayne when she steps up to last-hit, immediately E through her to knock her back into your Ezreal's Q, then W to slow the escape — this forces Nami to burn W or bubble reactively rather than proactively.
Avoid trading when Nami's W is up and Vayne has stacked Condemn range on you, as the combination of knockback and heal will reverse the trade.

You have no meaningful wave control tools, so let Ezreal push the wave with Q to deny Vayne CS under pressure, then look to roam or zone.
Avoid standing in the wave yourself — your job is to threaten hooks that force Vayne off CS, not to clear minions.

Do not throw out your Q blindly into Nami's bubble range — if she lands E on you mid-hook animation, you are stunned and your engage is completely wasted.
Patience on Q is critical; wait for Nami to use her E or Q offensively before committing your hook.
