So i’m a vayne main, i have 130+ games just this season as vayne and i have played her in to just about every bot match up i can think of, it’s just a champ i’m very confident to play even against counters like cait, twitch, quin, etc. No support bothers me, Leona might come close, but i have learned how to deal with it, annie is just a champ that i don’t know what to do anymore. If annie goes mid, im fine, gives me plenty of time to buy a BV, and not that big of a deal, but if she’s support, i absolutely always loose and get rekt, then end up having to come back latter game, but my cs is horrible, since i got zoned all game, and the enemy adc is fed, i almost always loose bot to annie, i don’t understand how to bot lane vs this champ...this isn’t a qq thread where i just want to bitch about her being crazy OP, but more of a request to higher rank players on how to deal with this champ as vayne, tired of getting raped every game i bot vs her.

Don't bring Vayne into her. Annie's main weakness is her range.

She's squishy and easy to kill early on, so if you have your support pick an engage support, she'll be easier to deal with. Always make a point, either you or your support, to auto her whenever she walks forward to harass. If she takes enough damage doing that, she'll back off and have to play more cautious. Its still rough dealing with the click stun but with a support Thresh or Leona you can easily blow her up for trying to harass.

So maybe that’s why i keep loosing, i tend to be very passive till a bit latter in the game with vayne, and the key is aggression, witch isn’t vayne’s strong point in lane really...sounds like she’s just a hard counter?

Well first before the game starts you should do a lol nexus look up on the support annie to see what runes/masteries they are running that can tell you alot about how they will play. For example a annie support running 21/9/0 or 21/0/9 masts will do damage but has little defense. Their plan to the brush in the bot lane to surprise you. To counter that have your support put a ward in the brush closest to your tower. As keep in mind that build of Annie tend to go for kill to get a head so no kills means not power gain. Another thing to keep in mind is that annie has a tell when her stun is up besides the ring around her. Since your a vanye user focus on lander your E to pin her to the wall. Next your support should stay in front of you in combat so you will take less skill shots. I remember correctly your Q and dodge both target and some skill shots

Vayne's passive and Q let you auto her then roll out of range of their adc when annie harasses. Vayne can be aggressive, its all about recognizing when you can hit annie without being hit by the ADC. Also level 1 Annie can't stun you unless she starts W, and no one starts W with annie, so you don't have to respect her as much till level 2.

No it's awful. It's only good in competitive play because of lane swapping.

its all about your support honestly.

Just hope your support is good.
