| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Ezreal's Mystic Shot poke out-harasses melee-range Vayne at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | At 2 his range plus Manaflow harass keeps chipping you off CS. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 Arcane Shift means you can't punish his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Through 4-5 constant skillshot poke denies your stacks and CS. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | His level 6 Trueshot Barrage out-values a stack-hungry Final Hour. |
| First item | Vayne | By one item your reset stacking overtakes his falling-off poke. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | With two-plus items Vayne's true damage shreds an escape-spent Ezreal. |
Ezreal harasses you with Mystic Shot every time you go for CS and Arcane Shift keeps him untouchable; last-hit from behind minions, dodge his skillshots, and don't try to trade into his poke. Free poke on his side and none on yours means you last-hit from cover and eat the chip. Roll only to leave his firing line. The knock-back belongs to his support's step-up, and the honest goal here is reaching your first item with a health bar you can work with.
