Vayne vs Teemo Counter Pick

One ability decides most of these 981 games. Blinding Dart removes a basic-attack champion’s damage outright for its duration, and Vayne is nothing else — Tumble, Silver Bolts and Final Hour all pay out through attacks. Patch 16.13.1 leaves her at 40.6% even though Teemo concedes 50 units of attack range, 500 against 550, and has to fight from inside her threat radius.

The rest of the kit maintains that pressure:

• Toxic Shot poisons on every attack and keeps ticking for four seconds, so no trade is clean even when he walks away.
• Noxious Trap covers the ground needed for Tumble repositioning, and one detonation reverses a chase.
• Guerrilla Warfare grants invisibility while standing still, converting brush control into free opening hits.
• Move Quick supplies passive movement speed until he is struck, cancelling the closing bonus from Night Hunter at an identical 330.

His damage is mixed — magic poison layered over physical attacks — so neither armor nor magic resistance answers it alone, while his own 24 base armor and 100.5 at level 18 are unremarkable, as is 54 base attack damage against 60. He starts with 615 health against 550 and ends at 2,383 against 2,301, and both champions pay Mana. Difficulty sits at 6 for him and 8 for her; the blind alone explains most of the gap those 981 games measure.
