Can we nerf Vayne so some other ADCs can shine? (Read entire post for details)

This isn't an "OMG SO OP" thread. Not by a long shot. What it is, is me being sick of seeing Vayne in almost every game. It's starting to make playing get really stale. She isn't OP, she's just the strongest ADC out there right now, which makes it difficult for ANY other ADC to shine. She has natural tank shred, which, in this tanky meta, means she pretty much in almost every game. I think out of every other game, I see her. I'd prefer to see someone else shine for a while, Corki, Trist, Cait, Ashe, any of them.

The problem being is that, though not OP, Vayne's kit offers a lot more than most other ADC's kits. Look at Ashe. Very basic kit, damage buff, slow, more crits, and a stun.

Vayne's, short dash (away or to) extra move speed to catch up, INCREASED move speed to catch up during ult, ability to stealth (difficult to track where she is/is gonna be), stun, knockback, % true damage, small burst ability, plus a AD boost ability that gives her tons of stuff.

I don't want Vayne to be GONE, I still wanna see her, I'd just appreciate to not see her in almost every game.

TL;DR Vayne isn't OP, but could you at least make it so other ADCs have a chance to be played more?

I can agree somewhat. As I've said, Vayne isn't OP, however, she's the strongest ADC right now, therefore, the best pick. It's stupid to see her almost every game, and it's making me not wanna play more and more.

Dude the marksmen update is coming. I would actually prefer that RIOT didn't touch any ADCs until they have had time to see how this effects them all

Looked at Surrender@20, no mention of changes to any ADCs except a nerf to Vayne's base damage, which I don't believe is the problem. It's her ability to wreck tanks that allows her to be a top pick.

Are you kidding? You know there's a HUGE marksmen update coming up but Riot hasn't released details about it yet right?

Just like Magma Chamber, Ao Shin, Poppy, Urgot, and Taric? I'll believe it when I see it.

Again, I'll believe it when I see it. Not trying to be a dick, but unfortunately, Rito's track record of keeping stuff going straight is pretty minuscule. Many champs ran rampant for months with them STATING they knew they were OP, yet did nothing about them.

For instance, Fiora was complained about since her inception to the game, how strong she was and how difficult she was to beat post-6 due to her ability to ult you, which made her follow you AND made her invincible. They fixed her, but she still was OP on her reboot. Now she's more balanced.

Urgot has been underwhelming since his first nerfs after release and has since remained that way, though they've stated for years they plan to remake him, along with Yorick, since he has little team fight potential.

She's really strong right now because the meta favors tanky champions that are weak to getting kited....exactly who Vayne excels at killing

I know, and that's what's annoying. I wanna see someone else played for once.

Look the only nerf Vayne needs is to lower her aa range I mean come on why does she out range Quinn and have Almost as much range as varus, her range needs to be 515 or 525 not 550
