I know this will get down voted to hell by people that got stomped by her at least once in their lifetime but recently with her huge nerf to R and buffs to some champs like Jhin and Varus,she doesn't really feel good to play,i mean she can still stomp hard late game,she's still supper annoying with her stealth,she can still shred a tank with her W but that's all 3-4 items,meanwhile Jhin is running around with 2k damage for quite some time,Varus can burst a squishy with his combo,Draven straight out deals more damage than her at all points of the game,Miss Fortune too,not to mention her ult is 10x more usefull in a team fight.

The list goes on,not even mentioning things like Kog that deal a shit ton of damage or Twitch who's ult now gives the same AD + range + AOE,like there's no point in playing Vayne unless you get a few kills early or it goes to late game.

Thoughts?

Honestly? I agree. There's not really much of a reason to even pick her when Kaisa exists and is basically just a better version of her. That AD nerf (combined with the AS nerfs) at the same times as the nerfs to the runes and item (Fleet Footwork and item 3308 in particular) that, combined, were making her so strong was like a massive kick in the balls. There's not really a good reason to pick Vayne when her most similar counterparts in Twitch and Kaisa just do her job better.

Vayne is fine. She’s exactly where she needs to be and ADCs are cyclically rotated in and out of meta.

Vayne is percevied as weak because she lost her burst cheese and gets nuked too easily. Plus Caitlyn has an enormous pick rate right now, Varus can abuse her and Jhin and Kai’Sa scale too hard.

Once these other champs gets addressed, she’ll be relatively stronger again.

Please don't confuse other champions being super strong right now to Vayne being weak and in need of buffing. The other ADCs need their balls cut off to bring them down to manageable levels, and then Vayne will feel fine.

Good she should never feel strong. Her design was late game hyper carry. She is a plague on this game that should never have been created in the first place.

I love how i get down voted even though everyone in the comments agrees she's weak compared to some other picks,the hate for Vayne is real

Oh shit, this "unpopular opinion" thread actually represents an opinion which is unpopular.

She's one of the few adcs that get extremely better as the game goes on. Early game she is actually the worst champion in the game, but late game ( around 30-40ish mins and beyond) she has the best win rate of all champions in the game, according to op.gg.

Get to late game with Vayne and its pretty much a win. But yes she is super weak without her items
