[Gameplay] Vayne's Attack Range Increases when Condemn is Taken

TL;DR: When Vayne puts the first point in Condemn, her attack range becomes at least 650.

How we tested: Attack moving to max range with the following champs - Varus (575 range), Anivia (600 range), Annie (625 range), Caitlin (650 range). After establishing each champs max range, vayne would attack move on the enemy champion.

The results:

  • Prior to leveling condemn, Vayne would have to move to attack Varus, the minimum range (and the next highest level beyond her listed range)

  • **When Vayne puts a point in condemn, she suddenly was able to respond to every single tested enemy champ's auto range without moving. So at this point her range is 650 or greater. **

  • After casting heal and condemn, Vayne could no longer attack anything except Varus without moving, so she seems to return to 575 at least temporarily, which is still higher than it should be.

  • The range value did not change within the champion stats window.

Unfortunately, my replay file did not save correctly, so I cannot post any video/screenshots. Hopefully going to get some friends together and record video version that shows the ability to match Cait's range and such, but that'll have to wait till tomorrow.

That seems fairly important.

I helped Kiwi test this, we first noticed it in a normal game when Vayne and Cait started their autos at the same time, from Cait's max range. We didn't really think anything of it, but then she auto'd someone who should have been way outside of her range. We took it to a custom game, and got the above results.

You can mouse over the damage stat or press A to see the attack range. Might help further testing.

I always wondered how she seems to trade so easily in lane against like Miss Fortune who has greater range than her and not even using tumble. I thought I wasn't at max range, then would double check and just be like, sigh.
