ive started banning vayne again

Critmaster Garen··1 votes·876 views

every fucking game.

we just got lucian toned down and people immediately jump to her. shes gonna climb to 50% pickrate again over the next couple weeks...

im so sick of seeing those two.

why are there adc again who are at the same time self reliant and carry like a 6 item kog maw?

its not like vayne wasnt picked all the time when lucian was op. she was just second pick instead of first pick.

just at the end of season 5 she was literally picked in 50% of the games. and they even buffed her from there.

honestly, i dont understand why riot keeps her around. why is an adc allowed to carry like that with the amount of self peel and 1v1 potential she has.

kog maw and twitch have the same lategame potential but they need actual teamcomps built around them for protection. thats a specific downside. vayne and lucian just fit into every teamcomp with their kits. with vayne specifically being able to carry like them.

ezreal is able to kite like vayne and lucian, but doesnt deal as much damage.

If this wasn't a Vayne complaint thread it would be a Lucian complaint thread. You'll complain about anything really. It's easier than learning how to play against it right?

Why not just play Vayne yourself m8? Freelo according to you.

i did. its dead easy.

vayne has always been a champion whos easy to pick up and stupid effective. literally your only job is not to feed until midgame, where you suddenly powerspike and kill everyone for no reason.

So then why are you here trying to get your own freelo nerfed instead of climbing to challenger? Please do tell.

because i prefer other champions. i could probably climb much faster by specializing in someone like vayne, but it wouldnt make the game fun.

If you're playing for fun, then balance should be irrelevant. You have nobody to blame but yourself.

no. it should be obvious, that an unbalanced champion can easily make the game less fun.

youre either forced to pick her, or you have to deal with the fact that youre just at a great disadvantage. doesnt sound fun, does it?

LCS players aren't picking those champions because they think they're fun m8.

Pros don't even consider Vayne atm. You just got #outplayed son.

They're even prioritizing Corki over Vayne.

Corki.

You're wasting a ban on a tier 4 ADC.

This is the pick/ban list from the LCS Summer Split 2016, the one currently going on. It's still running patch 6.10 though. So, the pro players compiled that list. Not anyone.

1 lucian is still broken

2 vayne still gets trashed by almost every non lucian adc that isnt ezreal.

Meanwhile jinx still flying below the radar

not really. people already noticed, and shes actually a recommended ban at some ratings.

but you can itemize against her which helps. and shes not quite as self reliant as vayne and needs a bit more protection.

pretty much every game jinx will itemize into crit in some way, which makes item 3143 and item 3047 decent protection against her.

I dodge every time my team leader bans Vayne because I automatically know hes trash.

Vayne OP

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

i never said that shes op. go back through my posts.

but vayne has two issues that makes me not want to deal with her. first of all, shes in so many games, that its just anoying. its the same reason why people hate lee sin, even when he was not op but had an overall low winrate. hes just constantly present. she doesnt just show up in some games, but its always either lucian, vayne, sometimes ezreal on bot. with the jinx buff, you see her sometimes too now.

the second is a problem with her kit. she can lose her lane, but she will NEVER not be the most serious threat on the enemy team. even more than other marksmen she always forces your attention, becuse she has so much item independent damage in her kit, that you cant just ignore her. if shes gold starved or not, her w and the 70 ad steroid on her ult are gonna shred you if youre not immediately going after her.

even fiora has to get some decent items before her passive deals damage. vanyes damage just scales with rank on her w, and thats it.

at the same time while youre forced to deal with her, shes incredibly shitty to deal with due to the self peel, and mobility. you cant just get her out of the way quickly or throw some cc into her direction to distract her. marksmen in general cant be ignored, but when most other marksmen are behind with the right items youre at least not forced to deal with them first, but you have room to go for other possible threats on the enemy team before you turn on them.

vayne is shitty to deal with. she needs two items to become a serious threat, and shes very self reliant at the same time. thats why i ban her.
