To everyone saying Vayne is OP and needs a nerf.

She isn't OP, other carries are UP. Other carries need buffs. She hasn't been touched in ages, and only recently is outperforming everyone. This is due to item changes, and stat changes ON OTHER CHAMPIONS. She has the exact same strengths and weaknesses she's always had. Stop crying for nerfs, and starts crying for buffs. I know all of the boards just love to cry for people to get nerfed, but in reality that won't fix this situation. Vayne has power because of her kit. She is VERY item reliant, because other than her 3rd hit with w, that's where all the damage comes from. Both of her AD scaling abilities are not spammable, and have long cool downs without doing much damage. One of which pushes them away, or into a wall. OTHER CARRIES have scaling abilities that have been progressively nerfed.

The fact that all of this has been ignored is why RIOT goes to reedit, and mostly ignores the boards. (except RiotRepertoire) The correct way to "nerf" Vayne is by buffing other carries.

It's easier to nerf one champ than to buff several.

That's why most of the cries are for nerfs.

Obviously a champion is only overpowered or underpowered when compared to other champions. What is the point of this thread?

Well. Better nerf Irelia.

The difference between nerfing and buffing

Nerfing results in only THAT champion being effected.

Buffing results in the entire game being effected (think if Kassadin was buffed again, or Lucian was buffed again). Especially when it is the role of ADC.

If ADC's were truly under powered, we'd see less than 2 per game.

So as long as every team has at least one (And two is pretty common) ADC's AND a babysitter to make them as strong as possible, I can't take an ADC's are under powered argument with a straight face.

Other carries being buffed will result in them being played again, so you won't see everyone picking her anymore.

Yes, it's easier to nerf one champion than buffing many specific champions, but in this case it's still the correct thing to do. Doing the easy thing isn't always correct, and Riots amazing (sarcasm) balance team are to blame for her sudden power spike WITHOUT BEING BUFFED.

Wouldn't this make all carries as bad as Vayne? That wouldn't be very fun or fair to those of us who don't like to play Marksmans.

Lol wow, already down voted because I'm using logic instead of "better nerf" mentality. OK boards. If you had it your way, every champion that you didn't like would do 1 damage every 10 minutes. So basically, everyone at some point.

You can only have one; true balance, or favoritism. Choose, then quit complaining. Nerfing Vayne doesn't fix anything. Buffing other carries would. Go ahead and down vote this thread into oblivion so that Riot never sees it. That'll totally help.

I just want to see less of her. Too many people play her and pick her, and its just annoying.
