Vayne deserves Buffs: (Here's Why!)

Hi, hoganftw, rank #1 vayne main NA with almost 2 million mastery points on Vayne across two challenger level accounts. Just thought I let you folks crying about Vayne, currently the weakest ADC in the game, getting buffs that you're all overreacting. Here are some good reasons why Vayne needs buffs:

1. She has a weak early game. This is especially detrimental in this era of League as the early game is literally everything. If she doesn't get ahead, she just stays behind unless your team can make the space to allow her to get up to speed. I feel like this takes away from Vayne's potential as an ADC. Players want to feel instant gratification and it just does not align with the current games' philosophy to have a champion take time to scale into a monster.

2. She's too susceptible to CC. I can't stress this enough. Vayne needs to be able to autoattack to be even relevant. While this might be true for all ADCs, remember that she also has the lowest range and health per level out of any of them. Sure, they compensate that by giving her a tumble ability but keep in mind if she gets hit with one CC ability, it's basically a death sentence. I just don't think this fits in with today's current gameplay loop. Players don't want to stare at their champions dying and crowd control is just not fun as a mechanic. You don't play video games to watch your character stand there being disabled, do you? She needs some kind of way out of CC and I think having her tumble remove CC effects including knockups would be a healthy way of keeping her relevant.

3. Size matters. Nobody wants to be stuck with the worst autoattack range for an ADC and Vayne has it the worst. She gets hard countered by champions like Jhin and Caitlyn, both champions who can just dish out tons of damage from a whole screen away. Even Lucian has a way of dishing out tons of damage from long range. What does Vayne get? Nothing. She is the only ADC in the game that has to actively put herself into danger in order to deal damage. I just don't think that aligns with today's game where ranged carries are supposed to safely deal damage to the likes of melee champions from a distance.

4. She's just not meta anymore. For as long as I can remember, Vayne has always had a spot in the meta and now I'm beginning to fear that this season might be the season where she just isn't as viable anymore. It's a good thing for a champion such as Vayne to be the top of her class when played competently. She is the only champion that scales with a player's actual skills. Anybody can play Lucian, Caitlyn, Ashe, and the like, but Vayne takes actual practice to use effectively. She's not a braindead turn-ur-brain-off champion that can just faceroll on a keyboard and get pentas with. There's tons of champions like that, but Vayne shouldn't be one of them. But with the current meta, I fear the age of skill is over as new champions come out with overloaded busted kits and old champions like Vayne are getting left behind.

Anyways thanks for reading! I hope I changed your mind about the world's current worst ADC needing a little love!
