Tanky ADC builds are destroyed with MoM and SG passive becoming unique

An Undead brat··10 votes·1,138 views

I just played against Vayne with this build: item 3153 item 3053 item 3022 item 3124 item 3006 item 3091 She was unkillable, unkiteable and she shredded everyone in our team. Could someone from Riot please check if it is healthy/balanced? Thank you.

That would only restrict diversity of gameplay. Melee and Ranged are balanced by kits and stats, not item restrictions.

Nerfing tank Ekko is also restricting diversity of gameplay, if you know what I'm trying to say.

And then you realize that everyone's still playing it. It actually created more diversity because now some people are putting more AP into their build, though still a lot of tankiness. http://probuilds.net/champions/details/Ekko . And on top of that, you're comparing restricting the gameplay of one champion (not really as I just mentioned), to restricting options for a good portion of the champion pool. Not a good idea. What if Riot wants to come up with some unique new champ idea? Or new gameplay or whatever. By doing things like this you aren't allowing them to keep their options open.

If there's a problem in balance, it's ideal to go to the root of the problem, not come up with a quick cover up.

I think I don't understand what are you trying to say now... Do you agree or disagree with me?

  • Tank Ekko is still a very popular build on him, the nerfs actually created more diversity because you see a better mix of AP and tank, so I disagree with you on that.

  • It's okay to nerf an unhealthy playstyle for 1 champion anyways, not an entire group of champions and possible upcoming champions.

  • And as for Vayne, the way you deal with that build is to have your ADC build pure DPS and 5v5 teamfight. Vayne with that build will probably be able to 1v1 anyone but her raw DPS is lacking. with a good frontline protecting your ADC you should be able to win teamfights unless the rest of their team is also fed. I think this build would only work for Vayne top.

An Undead brat1 votes

Ok, now I understand...

The thing is, the raw DPS doesn't. There's a reason why not every Marksman can build this and be effective and that is her max. health % true dmg and her mobility + one hard CC. She doesn't need to build much AD to deal a lot of damage (+BotRK, don't forget, is core in this build). She can also dodge so much abilities, but if any of them hits her, she doen't mind because of how tanky she is with this build. No melee can get to her because of FM (and mobility again) and before you know, you must retreat because your whole team is on half health and don't let me start on how good Vayne is in chasing (it's her theme and her passive). Yeah, theory good, but in game this doesn't work, especially when you can't communicate with your teammates via call.

Ok, people are downvoting, anyone who would bother to tell me why is this ok? Or you just hate your freelo being exposed?

DragonShea4 votes

People are downvoting because they are retards don't get shit and the forums is all about praising riot or simple ideas. not theorycrafting or pointing out common flaws in the game. there should be better places on the net to post about these things without someone downvoting because it doesn't fit with the unspoken rules here.

True enough

6-item Vayne will certainly kill your team. It's a Vayne. With 6 items. Some of which (the AS in particular) syncs with her kits fairly well. If you can't land your cc, your team will die.

It's like a 45-minute Nasus. He's going to do some damage when he pressed Q.

Most Vaynes don't make it to nightmare mode. This one did. And was a nightmare. Working as intended.

An Undead brat1 votes

If a champion is destined to win a game no matter what when it reaches the 6th item, it's a bad design.

I like Vayne's design, don't get me wrong, but this isn't a pro-Vayne argument, although it might seem.

Anyway, Vayne is intended to be squishy as the only possible counterpart of her kit, this and similiar builds remove this weakness.

70 ad steroid on her ult, fervor of battle, mobility and 12% max health true damage on every second auto attack with rageblade.

it was only a matter of time. too much item independent damage is what makes intended squishies build tanky since irelia. remember how she was actually designed as an ad assassin like talon and zed, and not as a fighter?

people could afford to build her tanky because of on hit true damage.

people could afford fizz to build tanky because of % missing health damage on his w.

people could afford to build ekko tanky because of % missing health damage.

im seriously surprised bruiser vayne wasnt a thing already long ago. not with this build imo, but its going to happen at some point.

personally id go with something more like this.

item 3006 item 3078 item 3022 item 3124 item 3143 item 3156

with the improved attack speed on triforce, the item should actually synergize well with vaynes kit now. her tumble gets her a lot of sheen procs.

maybe swap maw for bork to get some lifesteal and even more damage in there. but thats basically it.

An Undead brat1 votes

That's exactly what my friend said, switch item 3091 for item 3078 and you got solid bullshit right there.

I play since the end of season 4, so no, I don't remember this, but interesting to hear...

Yet people said I was exaggerating there's too much free damage in some champions' kits.

She's a tank killer, well thankyou for sending me this build trying it out after i uninstall then download lol because bugs.... redownload patch ... :/.

An Undead brat1 votes

I actually hope more people will try this build out so it get's Riot's attention, I personally think it deserves it.

the counter to this build is any ad assasin or large enough burst. And cc and shes gone too if you can follow up with damage. If vayne has this full build then you better be right there with her. Her early game sucks. Your bot lane did not do its job.

BluePolarizer2 votes

how does an AD assassin burst this build harder than a standard ADC? they don't.

Mig891 votes

talon has the kit for it and so does zed. Honestly most vaynes i see (i know im only silver, sorry) dont do much because shes so weak early its pretty easy to deny her farm. a godly vayne will do some work but so will any body else who is godly with their champ

An Undead brat1 votes

I actually don't think any assassin could burst through this - I admire, we didn't have any, but I strongly doubt... Could you try for me? I don't own any AD assassins and Vayne either to try with a friend (I don't play such things)...

Mig891 votes

theres no armor and minimal health in that build. She would get shredded by anything with ad that coould get ahold of her

An Undead brat1 votes

Ok, let's then agree they would. But counterpick is not counterplay (you can't swap champions in game) and not every game has an AD assassin. Vayne can be last pick or so, etc. Another thing is they have another 4 players protecting her and I agree it's the same with normal Vayne's builds, but in combination with this it's just impossible to kill her quickly with every other teamcomp and we all know that that's the only counterplay to Vayne.

And if bot did their job? I'm sure she was 0/3 when the laning phase ended...

VivaLaKitten1 votes

Well, Vayne is kinda like a 1 v 5 version of late game Koggy atm. She'll just destroy anyone unless you immediately kill her. Just do what I do, pray she gets banned.

Before you say anything - my fault I realized she's building like this too late, that's why I have Rabadon's instead of Void, I was just in the process of building it but... you see, the game ended.

I saw a streamer play with a Vayne that had a tanky build like this; she was incredibly hard for the enemy team to kill and she was able to deal so much damage it was insane.
