Vayne is a bit of a weird matchup. It depends on the player and how good they are.
I like going Exhaust Ignite in this matchup with HOB and crit build. I start Doran's blade, but Shield is also good if you're not used to playing against her.
Don't try to Q - E her Lv. 2. She will likely get out with q and punish you.
Don't fight until you get Lv. 3. Try to W - Q - AA - W her from a bush if you can. Don't delay your 2nd W if her E is up or you will not hit it.
You can win pre Lv. 6. Her E cooldown is higher than your W so even if she shots you away you still have a small window to go back in and look for a kill.
Lv. 6 is where things get very tricky. Her Q will make her invisible while her ultimate is active and she will drop your W agrro. You can try to force her to all in you with R and try to get away without taking too much damage. If you managed to get a kill on her early you might have a pickaxe or a serrated dirk which would mean you have the damage to kill her pretty fast.
If you can hit ult on her she will not be able to drop aggro because of the true sight that Briar ult has. Your only problem is her E at that point.
Yone
Very hard to win against a good Yone.
You could flip Lv. 1 here too if you want.
Exhaust Ignite if you want to try and fight early
Flash Ignite if you want to be able to flash his R or Q3 while in your W.
Try to dodge his Q3 with your W and go for a small trade if he's not in his E.
If he Es toward you, Q - E him into a wall to make him go back if you can't fight him.
Stay in the wave so if he Qs you he also hits the minions, making the wave push into you.
If you end up fighting a bad Yone or one that doesn't know he wins the matchup you can end up snowballing pretty hard on him.
Going crit can work as a way to try and kill him before he kills you, but Eclipse - Sundered also works.
Cho'Gath
You will lost this matchup most of the time.
Don't go in unless he used his Q and W. You can try dodging his Q with your W and go for a trade, but be careful of where you are on the lane and how much HP you have. His W will disable your 2nd W cast and you will not be able to heal if low. You will also not be able to stop your W with E so don't do this near his tower if his W is up.
Going Bork - Black Cleaver or Eclipse - Sundered can be good if he's going tank.
Into AP Cho you can go Titanic - Black Cleaver or Eclipse - Sundered.
Akali
You can't fight if her W is up. She will drop aggro if you W her.
Play around it and try to go for small trades when you can.
I like Eclipse - Sundered here.
K'Sante
I put this as extreme, but that depends on the K'Sante player.
He has 2 ways of getting out of your E. Either dashing away or using W to not get pushed back and trade back on you or run away.
Try to dodge his Q3 with you W and go for small trades when you can. Though it might be hard to get out if he still has W up.
He is very hard to kill unless you manage to somehow get ahead early. BUT HE WILL KILL YOU!
Aatrox
This matchup is winnable. I like Eclipse - Sundered into Aatrox. You can take Flash Ignite if you want to dodge his Q3 in a fight. Or you could go Exhaust Ignite to cut his healing even more. (Aatrox heals based on the damage he deals. Exhaust cuts his damage. So less healing. Even less with ignite.)
You can go for trades if he used his Qs
Teemo
If he holds his Q you will never win this.
You can go crit and insta kill him if her throws Q for no reason. Though a good Teemo won't do that.
Olaf
You will never win this.
Flip Lv. 1 with w start. Take Lethal Tempo and exhaust ignite. That's when you can kill him. Olaf players will usually fight you Lv. 1 so this can work.
However even if you do kill him Lv. 1 this matchup is still very hard to win. Play around your summs and don't underestimate his damage.
Darius
You can win this.
I like either Titanic - Black Cleaver or Eclipse - Sundered into Darius.
Flash / exhaust / barrier all have their uses. See what you prefer.
Wait for Lv. 3 before you fight him.
Don't W - Q at him if you don't have to. Just use W and hold your Q for when he uses his Q to stay in the safe zone and not give him extra damage and healing.
He can kill you Lv. 6 with ult pretty easily though so be careful of that.
Jax
Pretty bad, but you can win depending on the Jax player.
Play around his E. You're fine to go in if he uses it. If not try and bait it out if you can.
Buffer E if you see him jumping on you and try to send him into a wall.
Remember your E will still go through even if you get stunned.
Eclipse - Sundered is what I like into Jax.
Flash Ignite or Exhaust Ignite are both good.
Dr. Mundo
Pretty boring to play against. You can win even if you can't stun him with Q all the time.
Go Bork - Black Cleaver
PTA or Lethal Tempo
Flash Ignite or Exhaust Ignite
Fight him early if he walks up to you.
Don't let him free farm or he will become a problem.
Gnar
Not a huge problem.
Play around his forms.
Take short trades before he can E away in his small form. Don't let him free poke you.
Be careful of his big form though he does some good damage. Try to dodge his Mega Gnar W with your W if you can. If not you can try to buffer E and throw him either in a wall or away.
Ambessa
She's strong. A good Ambessa will be hard to kill.
Flash Ignite to dodge her ult.
Eclipse - Sundered since she will probably play grasp and try to go for short trades early as well.
Sett
This is winnable to an extent.
I like Flash Ignite and Eclipse - Sundered into Sett.
Go for short trades and E him left or right when you end your W to avoid giving him a free W if he throws it out. Otherwise his W is a free hit if you're locked on him.
You can buffer E if you know he's gonna ult you to push him away or in a wall.
Sion
Easy matchup (and nice voice lines)
Bork + Black Cleaver is your go-to into Sion.
Lethal Tempo or PTA are both fine.
Dodge his Q with your W.
If you already used you W, then buffer your E to sent him away or into a wall.
I'm still working of getting the matchups done. Plese be patient with me.
I will add some extra combos and tips here later, but for now please read the notes. There's a lot of useful info in there.
