Who Wins

  • Pre-6: Even matchup if you can land hooks, but their range advantage makes it difficult.
  • Post-6: Still challenging as Mel's W can reflect damage and her R provides execute threat in extended fights.

Synergy & Trading

  • Look for hook opportunities when they step forward to poke, then flay immediately for guaranteed CC chain.
  • Use lantern to help Vayne engage or disengage from their superior range advantage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Yes, roam when the wave is pushing toward your tower and Vayne can farm safely.
  • Best timing is after successful recalls or when enemies back, as your roam impact is higher than staying in losing lane.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't hook when Mel has W up - she can reflect the engage back and turn the fight.
  • Avoid predictable hook patterns as Caitlyn can trap your landing spot and Mel can E root for easy follow-up.
