I main Vayne and have gotten her to Plat so I'll also put in my insight on her. Cloth 5 potions is basically mandatory for me against any Caitlyn match up because she WILL auto attack you for free when you go for a last hit and because she's very hard to trade with levels 1-8, cloth 5 gives you the safest lane against Caitlyn. Because she has issues going all in and doesn't scale as well as you lategame, this start ensures that nothing screwy happens during laning phase. The cloth armor is something that you carry until you need to sell it because it helps mitigate Vayne's low base armor and will always add effective HP for you in the moments you DO trade.

In basically every other match up that doesn't have extremely heavy, unavoidable poke, Dorans blade is the best option on Vayne. This item is basically the best start on all AD's right now because it gives a little bit of everything in the beginning and is more effective than potions in terms of cost effectiveness.
