Because she needs to constantly hit the same target. Meaning if you can force her to switch targets, her dps is heavily lowered.

Okay, fucking really? So does every other ADC in order to get damage off. And in reality, she still has adc level damage without her W True damage passive :/. Sure, it's lowered, but you aren't just going to 1v3 as Vayne either.

Then just do what you're supposed to with all high damage champions, focus Vayne first, take her out of the fight quickly, again, another boss ability that is easy to overcome.

I suppose so, but she gets 1 second invisibility, large peel and a possible medium duration stun, as well as bonus movement speed and a team on top of that >_>. The job of killing the carry is hard when Nautilus has you trapped in a corner and Rek'sai is hammering you into the sky. Position is key, after all.

Because it's still a small portion of her overall damage. She has to apply 3 hits in order to get one proc. This means the first two hits and the physical portion of the third hit are still affected by armor and health. In order to kill a target with just the max % HP damage Vayne would need to land 39 hits to proc 13 times. Realistically it will be less then that, but the vast majority of vayne's overall damage is going to be physical.

Attack speed slows from various abilities are even more effective against Vayne compared to a few other ADC's.
Vayne is highly reliant on stealth in order to outplay opponents. A upgraded red trinket negates this completely.
Vayne has no method of poke unless she's playing against a pure melee with either poor or no gap closers. Every time she goes for an attack she's putting herself at risk.
As mentioned, by someone else, Vayne must hit the same target 3 times in a row to get a proc off. Champions who can force her to engage a different target will vastly decrease her DPS.
