The best supports to play with Vayne in LoL
Vayne has been rather unpopular in the last few seasons. Her kit didn’t really fit the meta and it brought the devs to buff her in the latest Patch 13.6. Thanks to the better numbers and interesting buffs they gave her, she has been slowly finding increasing success.
Even though she’s still not a top-tier ADC pick, she excels against specific team compositions which have beefy frontlines. Thanks to her true damage on her W, she can melt tanks like butter.
That being said, Vayne requires great supports to have enough time to scale and reach her power spikes. Not all champions work well with her, and it’s crucial to know exactly which are better.
For that reason, we have compiled a list of the best supports to play alongside Vayne. By explaining their strength and weaknesses, you will know better how a specific duo functions.
Milio – the no. 1 support for Vayne
Milio is the newest champion released in League and considering he’s an enchanter, he has been working out really well with most hypercarries, including Vayne. The best thing about him is the fact that the two are almost unbeatable later in the game. Milio can peel Vayne consistently with his shields and ultimate, and she can take advantage of the extra attack range to kill targets from a much safer distance.

Considering Milio has a good amount of poke with his Q, Vayne doesn’t even struggle as much during the laning phase. That said, the two will suffer against bully laners, and you need good vision control to avoid getting dove constantly.

Lulu – The best Milio alternative
Given that Milio is performing quite well, there are high chances he gets banned during champ select. With that in mind, we recommend playing Lulu as the best enchanter alternative. She used to be Vayne’s primary choice, but given that she’s not as strong of a pick currently, her priority has dropped slightly.
That being said, she offers the same amount of peeling power thanks to her Polymorph (W) and Help, Pix! (E), which gives a shield and a good attack speed bonus. In case that wasn’t enough, she can still ult her with Wild Growth (R).
The two will struggle a little more early on, but as long as you’re able to handle the pressure and farm your way up without bleeding too much advantage, this bot lane will gain increasing importance going into the mid-late game.
Thresh – the best engager support for Vayne
Thresh is one of the most versatile supports in the entire game, so it’s not a surprise to have him as a good pairing with Vayne.

Having said that, Thresh’s playstyle changes heavily when playing with Vayne. Of course, he can still grab champions and take engages, but Thresh has more of a peeling function with Vayne.
The goal is to have Thresh stop any incoming engage that might put Vayne’s life in danger. Use the lantern (W) or Flay (E) to protect her and the ultimate (R) if needed. Remember that it slows targets by 99% for 2 seconds, making it perfect to neutralize enemies. If you want to play Vayne, Thresh is going to be no. 1 choice for engage supports.

Karma – Balance between aggressiveness and peeling
The main reason you’re picking Karma is to allow Vayne to get a safe laning phase and allow her to scale to the right item spikes. Thanks to Karma’s poke and shields, Vayne doesn’t suffer early-game trading as much.
Later in the game, Karma’s main focus will be protecting her carry with shields, while using her other small crowd control (Q and W) to prevent the enemies from getting closer to Vayne. While it’s not the best among the enchanters, it offers a good balance between early-game presence and peeling.
Senna – one of the best ranged supports for Vayne
Senna has been popping up in popularity and she happens to work well with Vayne. Thanks to the double-ranged bot lane, Vayne and Senna can get lane priority most of the time, lowering the risk of getting pushed in and possibly dove.

When playing this bot lane, the goal is to avoid any heavy early skirmishes and solely focus on getting as much farm as possible. Considering both champions have tremendous scaling, you won’t have problems prevailing in the mid-late game. If you’re able to survive the first few minutes, then winning the game will be a walk in the park.
