I have some doubts if it comes to her weaknesses. 5. What? 7. Yes, till level 6 or at last first item. 10. She is one of the easiest adc to Come back if you are behind. 13. Typical for adc. 14. Low mana costs so it means Nothing. 15. Go back to Point 7 16. Like against every adc. 17. Once per 300 sec. 18. Her skill floor is pretty low, she can only AA and Q to random Point to dodge something and still does tons of damage, her skill ceiling is only considered high. 19. How. 20. If the Player of her is retarded. 21. And Let her jungler to help her. 22. Are there stealths No countered by those?

Pretty much what he said.

@OP If you're gonna title something about someones weaknesses, be specific.

Everyone has versed an adc and has a slight idea as to what makes em cri; being dove, cc locked or hard counter built (thornmail+frozen heart into trist).

So my personal re do of: Her strengths

  1. Mobile (bonus, her tumble is buggy through drag pit and artificial terrain)
  2. Stable laning phase
  3. Move speed steroid on pursuit (better with ult)
  4. Self peel
  5. R=Invisibility on demand+dmg steroid
  6. % max HP true dmg=no matter what she'll chunk you
  7. W+Q makes it very easy to farm
  8. Flexible build path
  9. Wide range of support synergy
  10. Anti tank
  11. Late game monster/hard to keep oppressed
  12. Split push monster
  13. Excels in 1V1 duels
  14. Low elo stomp machine

Her weaknesses;

  1. Specific tanks give no shits about her true dmg (sej, rammus and malphite)
  2. Long range lane bullies (support or adc, it don't matter)
  3. Low range (in general)=shit siege around objectives
  4. Half decent wave clear (cos she obliterates super minions)
  5. Delusional vaynes are cocky and over estimate their survivability
  6. Heavily reliant on support as you travel further up the ranks
  7. Lacks early game kill/trade potential
  8. Targeted CC (this is specific due to how slimy vayne is compared to other adc's)
  9. Tards save people with her E

See how much shorter that is? A majority of the weaknesses you listed apply to EVERY adc while allot of the strengths either over lapped (has stealth, on demand stealth) or should've been counted as one point since they belonged to the same spell.

As far as where our opinions differ. Her skill floor vs skill ceiling. Tbh her skill floor=don't fuck up your E.

Her skill ceiling is actually all general knowledge gained from experience. I say that because her kit is so simple, but like amumu or nunu who also have simple kits they can all be extremely powerful if the brains behind the connection know what they're doing.

.As the other dude said. She's really easy to comeback with. Just split and farm. .very few peole buy pinks to counter a vayne. And she moves so much that it'd be irrelevant in 2 seconds anyway.

ahahahah miss fortune late game adc ahaha your kiding me, even lucian is better in late game lol.

and yes, if played correcly vayne is the best adc late game, those you put above can easily be destroyed by an assassin without the support, vayne can kill everyone late game with no exceptions. cait also is not so good late game also.

Vayne's strengths: Ult granting massive AD bonus and invisibility with her Q Q grants invisibility with ult and also empowers an auto attack while giving her semi-mobility E knocks back a target, stuns them if they hit a wall, W deals % bonus damage every 3 consecutive hits on the same target. She has extremely proficient kiting Safety in team fights Her W passive allows her to forgo armour pen Self peel Strong lategame can assassinate squishy targets Difficult to itemise against. Low mana cost Movespeed steroid when running towards enemies.

Vayne's weaknesses No inbuilt waveclear, No poke or long ranged ability Built glass cannon like all ADC's Weak laning phase relatively speaking
