Vayne is probably the most meta resistant champion in existence

DISCLAIMER:THIS IS NOT A QQ POST

whether being meta resistant is a trait of good or bad champion design

I think we can agree Vayne seems to survive every direct and indirect slaps from the Meta or her own buffs/nerfs

Season 6 is a pretty good example of this,here in the chaotic beauty known as season 6 we have early game or spell slinging AD's ravaging the bot lane even some getting there own Korean touch(i.e. MissFortune Lucian ,etc) and we all know how much Vayne hates early game and spell slinging AD's,unless your good on Vayne(or the enemy is stupid) chances are your lane will become,a lane of never ending farm,you'll feed like no tomorrow,or transform into Gosu

Now with all these AOE mage bastards,Assassin tanks and the other AD's mentioned above Vayne manages to survive,and I think this is due to the very nature of Vayne,the way her kit is built lets her have a large pool of item paths and builds,in recent times Vayne has followed her Korean brethren much more,buying the infamous item 3142 Or the accursed child of Sated devourer known as item 3124

A meta filled with tanks that deal damage don't really matter since Vayne can rip them to shreds with her true silver bolt,she kites like a monster and thanks to 2 AD steroids she also deals with squishes easily,her self peel kit design makes her very hard to touch when your melee,her stealth can deal with some assassins so as long as you don't attack the moment you enter stealth

that is all

and just one last thing,my preferred Vayne build is item 3078 item 3142 item 3153 as the core items,slap some boots and the last 2 are defensive items

I actually think Gragas is pretty immune to the meta. AOE knock backs are just always useful, no matter the comp or enemy comp.

Erhm... Gragas was outright useless for a really long time in the beginning of season 6.

He got as low as 42% winrate.

He was also really bad for a really long time when his AP midlane was drastically nerfed. It took a long time until people started playing him in the jungle.

A rioter did note that a reason why Gragas is hard to balance is every 5 minutes when flash is up his E is basically an assured hit and he seems to always be either first or second tier jungler in the LCS
