Kled vs Vayne Counter Pick

A 550-unit marksman in the top position against a 125-unit fighter looks like a favourable target, and the record disagrees: Kled wins 46.5% of 200 games on patch 16.13.1. The kit belonging to Vayne is built specifically to survive the approach she cannot avoid.

• Condemn knocks Kled back and stuns him against terrain, cancelling the engage and resetting the distance Jousting was spent to close.
• Silver Bolts converts every third consecutive attack into maximum-health damage, which walks straight past the 123.4 armor Kled reaches by level 18.
• Night Hunter grants move speed toward nearby enemy champions, so she closes when it suits her and is never obliged to.
• Final Hour adds invisibility during Tumble, removing vision at the one moment Kled most needs it.

She is the more fragile champion on paper, with 550 health, 23 armor and 330 move speed against his 345, and a landed Bear Trap on a Rope followed by Violent Tendencies is usually lethal. The matchup turns on whether that hook lands before Condemn is available. Difficulty ratings of 8 against 7 mean both sides misplay it regularly, and the losing pattern for Kled is spending Chaaaaaaaarge!!! into a fight he has no way to finish. Her 2,301 health at level 18 also outgrows his 1,838, so time does not improve his position.
