This is Vayne's own plan; across 1,658 pooled games the lane is leaning Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Corki | Corki's early poke out-trades melee-range Vayne at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Corki | At 2 Phosphorus Bomb plus autos chunk you before you can answer. |
| Level 3 | Corki | Level 3 Gatling Gun and range keep you off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Corki | Through 4-5 his poke and mobility deny your CS and stacks. |
| Level 6 | Corki | His level 6 Missile Barrage out-values a stack-hungry Final Hour. |
| First item | Vayne | By one item your scaling flips the extended trades to you. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | With two-plus items Vayne's true damage shreds squishy, escape-reliant Corki. |
Corki out-pokes you at 1-2 with Phosphorus Bomb and superior range; last-hit safely, dodge his skillshot bomb, and don't try to trade autos into his Gatling Gun zone. His bomb out-pokes anything you can answer, so dodge the skillshot, take the safe farm and stop trying to trade autos. Tumble only to break his line of fire. Keep Condemn for the Valkyrie landing, because a Corki pinned against a wall is the only kill this lane produces early.
