Playing as Vayne

Tips to maximize your impact

Three hits on the same target
Hit the same target three times in a row, with autos or spells: on the third hit, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on their max health.
Tumble between autos
Slip a Tumble (Q) between two autos: you reposition, and your next attack deals bonus damage. Its cooldown drops from 6 to 2 seconds.
Pin your target to a wall
Position yourself so that Condemn (E) pushes your target into a wall: if they hit terrain, they're stunned and take more damage.
Be patient before your items
Play safe while you're missing your first items: Vayne mostly shines later, when Silver Bolts (W) cuts through big health pools.
Tumble unseen during your ult
During Final Hour (R), each Tumble (Q) makes you invisible for a moment and comes back faster: tumble to reposition while the enemy can't target you.

Playing against Ezreal

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.
All-in after his E
Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.
Fight head-on
Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.
Beware his R at low health
At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
