Vayne is not strong because of her true damage or mobility....it's because of her stealth.

Vayne is strong late game, but the real reason is not because of her true damage or mobility. Its because her stealth mode allows her to disengage and engage on her terms.

If you ever played against Vayne in stealth mode, you're at a disadvantage purely from the point of your reaction time. Once she enters stealth, you've lost your target. Once she reappears, she has re-positioned and gains the first attack. By the time you react and click, she has already landed her second or third attack. Even if you did not click anything else and wait for her to appear in hopes that you would automatically re-target her, it is still slow for the game AI to do so.

If Vayne does not enter stealth, she is almost at the same level as Lucian or Kalista, but she still has condemn for melee foes and potential stun for others.

What you guys think?

If this was true pink wards would ruin her as a champion.

Her stealth is just another level of her self peel.

Just buy a pink...upgrade red trinket . I'm saying this as vayne main, her stealth isn't her strongest ability , it's her burst and did late game vs all champs

Well, I personaly think that both Kalista and Vayne have way too much mobility. But 1 second stealth on 2 seconds CD? I think it's strong

I think there's pink wards for a reason.

When that's the case then the joke's on them, not Vayne. Game offers ways around certain situations, but if the players refuse to work it out then they are the ones to blame, not the problem. But nowadays players seem to love working on excuses and whining rather than solutions.
