Vayne pls
Before accusing me of being a noob and being unable to deal with her, or saying obvious things like "hard cc" or "abuse her early", listen to what I have to say. First, let's take a look at her kit. Her passive gives her extra movement speed. It might looks weak, but it's really a lot on an adc who relies on kiting. Especially if you consider her ulti that increases greatly that bonus. Once she grabs a pair of boots, a botrk to slow you and a PD or a shiv, even a Shyvana will have troubles catching her. Her q is a tumble that improves her next attack. It would be a fair skill, but it has a 2s cd at level 5. TWO SECONDS. Kiting? Never been so easy. Unless you play someone like Akali with a lot of point and click dashes or a ferrari like Yi, you might as well give up on trying to touch her. Her w is the skill that makes her so famous and popular against tanks. True damage every third attack. Which is a pretty fair skill, I must say, but combined with the rest of her kit becomes insanely strong. Her e is a disengage that might stun you. The skill itself isn't that strong, but again, it becomes way too strong with the rest of her kit. And her ulti. Oh, her ulti. Bonus ad, invisibility when she uses her q (which has a 2s cd) and gives her even more movement speed by improving her passive. Now, how are you gonna catch her? massive movement speed, invisibility, a disengage and a tumble every 2 seconds. That's just gross. She's like one of the strongest duelist in the entire game. Which wouldn't be so weird is she wasn't an adc. Adcs usually are weak and relies on someone to protect them. Vayne doesn't. An assassin jumps on her? Kill him. A bruiser tries to get close to her? Kite him forever and melt him with your true damage. That's just stupid, you can't make an adc stronger than basically every one else in a 1v1. "Focus her on teamfights and kill her as fast as possible". By the time you menage to spot her, your team will be already melting because of her insane late game damage. Just build a qss, ask your support to build a Mikael's and between these two items and your invisibility you will be basically untouchable in a teamfight. So, let's talk about early game. It's true that she can be abuse by long range champions like Caitlyin or Jinx, but it's also true that even at very low levels she's stronger than any other adc apart from Draven and maybe Graves in a straight duel. So just pick an aggressive support like Leona and when she engages your chances of getting a kill are very high. You might end up not getting any kills, but you won't lose the trade in most of the cases. Or you can just pick a defensive support and farm, as Vayne just farming is enough to make you a beast. The Janna/Vayne combo is just unfair. I play Janna a lot and whenever I have a good Vayne in my team, I know the game is over already. But this isn't over yet. Did you menage to destroy Vayne in lane? No problem, she'll be still able to 1v2 you and your support once she grabs a botrk, even if she's 0/3 with 60 creeps. And she'll be still able to destroy everyone in your team in late game, even if she had a shitty lane phase. So far, the only adcs I feel safe to pick against her are Draven and Tristana. Draven because he literally one shots her in late game, making her mobility and her damage useless, Tristana because she can ult her and abuse the range difference and kill her before she menages to get close enough to attack you. Unfortunately those are 1v1 scenarios and you don't always have the chance to 1v1 her in a teamfight. So, let's her your opinion about this topic and Vayne. What do you think about her? Is she balanced? Why and why not?
