Vayne feels very weak

This champion feels so weak since the rework to her W this seasonVayne , like i use to be able to win lane with vayne every now and again but now it's just like i Q up knowing i will lose lane for sure and i will feed the shit out of it even if playing behind turret. This script you have to play every game by, the hold for late game script, doesn't work anymore...the meta has shifted to mid game, so she just gets walked on the entire game and never reaches the late game because the game is usually done by then.

That's the point. Hypercarries are supposed to be very weak in the early and mid game, that's why they aren't popular in this meta.

Ok, so how about instead of neglecting them and leaving them useless, why don't we tweak her a bit? nerf a tad of the late game and buff a tad of the early or mid

Because then she's not vayne anymore. She's supposed to be bullied easily by other carries like corki and lucian because she scales better than any adc late game. And that's okay, not every adc needs to excel in the early and mid game; you don't need to buff or nerf champions just because they don't fit that well into the current meta.

Everything you said makes complete sense, but regardless of what needs to be done or not, she feels very weak and not fun to play anymore, because the getting "bullied" in lane part is now a bigger deal than ever, and it's just not fun for the player to get shit on that hard every game regardless of the match up to always have to come back somehow late game...it has always been unreliable, but now this season gives unreliable a new meaning, which is why famous players who main her and are known for being Gods at her, like gosu, dlift don't even play her right now...it's all about that lucian.

Yet Vayne's lategame is even more retarded because we don't have pinks to fight her. She's really not fun at all to play against, like Kalista, because of her huge selfpeeling and then she has %health true damage ofc. Do not buff her.

ok but compare the level of effort a vayne has to make in order to cary or get multi kills on her own, compare a 1v5 vayne penta kill to a Master yi penta kill, you will see a clear unbalance and why it's not even worthed to master vayne...look at gosu's lolking, or dlift, they don't even play vayne this season.

Some champions are more likely to have pentakills if they are fed because they have a kit that works well on cleaning up with reset abilities, Katarina and Master Yi being examples. Why would you ever use that as an argument when comparing 2 champions power level. It's just an aspect of the kit. Vayne does not thrive on chasing people down, fighting them melee and resetting to get a penta, that's... not vayne? If you want to play like Master Yi when playing Vayne, it's not gonna work. Vayne has other strenghts though, the most obvious one being she's ranged, can stay at distance of melee champions thanks to her Q and E, is one of the strongest duellists in the game, has great tank melting.

Gosu/Dlift are adc mains, and they kind of play the 'op ones' atm (lucian, ezreal, corki, kalista). According to Dlift lolking, he's practising Jhin (champion got out, he needs to get good on it I guess). As for Gosu, he has a bunch of vayne games this season (around 40) so... Once again, other adc's being too strong does not mean Vayne should be buffed, it should mean that the guys that are too strong should be nerfed.

As for Yi players in high elo, they're usually one trick poneys. Like they literally ONLY play Yi. Gosu doesn't only play Vayne, he's an ADC main and plays every adc. Yi mains play pretty much ONLY yi. So that's kind of a bad example for your argumentation. Same goes for a variety of not-really-meta-in-high-elo picks (Veigar? Malzahar? things like that) . If you can go to very high elo with those picks, it means you really spend a whole lot of time on these specific champions, which are harder to win with than the metapicks against the best players (they are meta for a reason, they're overall slightly stronger in high elo, and I can't stress enough the high elo here).

So the one trick pony guys aren't really gonna stop playing their one trick poneys if those became bad, because they climbed with it in the first place when he was suboptimal as a pick. The only way they'd stop playing is if a disgusting rework killing their champion identity is released, such as the veigar's rework. I think Dabox (OTP veigar, high challenger, pretty much the only very high elo veigar guy) stopped playing lol because of that, or at least plays extremely rarely now.

Meanwhile, pretty much every ADC player plays a variety of ADC's and they don't really care if their main champion is down, they'll just pick another. They are a class player, not really a 'one pick' player.

vayne was fine untill they removed the statik + rapid fire combo. That mucked things up for her! But in my opinion she is sitting around 50% winrate and is balanced.

Vayne is in a good spot right now. She can still carry games but isn't as oppressive.

good. she spent so much time last season being completely overpowered that she should be weak for a bit
