Guide to Synergizing Vayne and Riven

Tips for Playing as Vayne with Riven

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.

Advice to Understand How Riven Will Play

Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

How to Play with Riven as Vayne in LoL

The Vayne Riven synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Riven, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Vayne sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Riven helps Vayne perform poorer in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Vayne is an ally to Riven, she gets a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This may indicate that Riven does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Vayne is played with Riven on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Riven. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Riven.

Moreover, when Vayne plays with Riven on the same team, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Riven does a decent job of protecting Vayne in team fights.

Is Vayne better when played alongside Riven?

There is no perfect synergy for Vayne that will 100% of the time be her top ally. However, overall, Riven is a very typical companion for Vayne. By being on the same team as Vayne, she improves their win rate by 0.6% to 50.9%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong synergy between Vayne and Riven that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Riven has a lower difficulty than Vayne. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Riven teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by pairing Vayne and Riven together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of magic damage. Make sure to include other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Riven ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
