How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Garen is strongest mid game while Vayne peaks late game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Range Advantage
Vayne has range advantage. Garen should look for short trades when Vayne uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.

Garen's main weakness: Kiting, ranged poke, no CC. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Garen Win Condition
Silence + spin trades, execute with R, simple and effective
Vayne Win Condition
Scale, shred tanks with W true damage, kite with R+Q
