Tips for Playing as Swain with Vayne
While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.
Advice to Understand How Vayne Will Play
Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.
Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Vayne.

Vayne has a lower difficulty than Swain. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Vayne comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.
Fighting on the same side, Swain players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by bringing Swain and Vayne together, you probably will not be giving your side enough tankyness. Make sure to include other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Vayne ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
