So i remember when hurricane first came out they said oh no, Vayne cant use hurricane to proc 3 silver bolts at a time becuase balance reasons. yet they allow gnars W to proc it basically has the same effect, % hp damage on 3rd strike. he also gets his hyper bonus as well. so my question is.

why is vayne not allowed to proc when gnar can?

vayne isn't allowed cause of mechanical reasons. Her W stacks reset upon switching target, which means if it would proc on hurricane she would never get the 3 stacks as she permanently switches targets.

Lol, Gnar's W stacks can always be placed on multiple targets, with or without Runaan's. Vayne can never do it because changing targets removes the other stacks. This has nothing to do with Runaan's Hurricane and everything to do with the individual ability.

Yes but Vayne's is true damage. She's already pretty good in this meta, she doesn't need any buffs.

Because Gnar's W passive can stack on multiple targets to begin with and is not restricted to single target.

For a more specific reason, because Gnar's does magic damage (thus can be mitigated by resistances) on a short ranged champion who needs to build almost full tank to be relevant most of the time. His W is a way for his mini form to not be entirely useless.

Vayne's W on the other hand does true damage (and is %max hp, thus cannot be mitigated in any way) on an already self peeling hyper carry marksman. Giving her runaan's procs would be incredibly strong, as she could reliably proc multiple W's on multiple champions in a teamfight without having to switch targets. Seeing as her main weakness lategame is switching targets adding that would be an incredible buff.

Same reason Kalista can stack her burst infinitely while having massive kiting capabilities and Twitch can't and is immobile.

Vayne can't proc W 3 times because attacking a second target removes all of the stacks on the first you mental invalid.

why is vayne not allowed to proc

It has to do with vayne having to hit the same target 3 times. If she hits someone else, her first target loses stacks. Hurricane breaks that mechanic so she can only proc on one target at a time. You can still get it if you want to for the AS as she still scales with that. But having her being able to stack Ws on multiple people at once is a little too much to ask for.
