"But she takes skill to play and has a weak laning phase." - Every Vayne main ever

Battalion6 votes

"I wish I had Max Percent Health True damage on my autos." - Every non-Vayne AD Champion ever

6%/ 7.5% / 9% / 10.5% / 12% of target's max. health

And then they point out Olaf

Yeah, that'd make sense if he could throw his Axe for true damage (which doesn't happen) , instead he has to get into your face and your team's face, like a fuckin Viking, and say "Hey, this is going to hurt me and you, but mostly you!" Instead of Vayne going " Pew pew! Got one! Hurhurhur"

EDIT: I think sarcasm goes over your heads. I do not think Olaf is an issue, I'm reiterating past counter-arguments that shine a favorable light on Vayne's max % hp true damage. Vayne has ranged true damage that has no side-effect while Olaf has only melee-ranged true damage at the cost of scaling health.

The purpose of Olaf's E and Vayne's W are completely different. One is used to shred down tanky engagers and beefy fighters while the other is used to win trades in lane and remain a threat even through tons of armor.

Battalion5 votes

So Olaf's E is useless in trades and Vayne's Silver Bolts are useless to shred down tanky engagers and beefy fighters? Good to know, I learn something new everyday.

Olaf's isn't even comparable because it's flat, you can easily itemize against it with HP, he also kills himself with it.

Battalion1 votes

I don't think Olaf is a problem, I'm simply referring back to previous counter arguments that basically say "If Olaf can have it, Vayne can have it". I actually think Olaf is the least of the concerns for true damage as it gets out-shined easily by Cho'gath (who I don't think is a major issue) and Vayne (who I think is a horrible mistake in game design).

This is untrue. It would be more like Pew pew BOOOM since w is triggering on third hit.

No, you're, right. Forgive me!

At least you can kill her. Meanwhile...

i feel sorry for every melee top that face me riven, fiora, nasus, darius, garen, mundo... i have to type "sorry bro, its not your fault, its a unfair match =/"

only one player did well against me as shen, only because he realized he lost his lane so he roamed and ganked other lanes, so i got his turret and went after him XD

Or just play Jayce Jayce Jayce Jayce Jayce Jayce Jayce

kaltenashes1 votes

hard to see someone playing jayce and when someone do play him, they're really good (excluding free week) never played against him as quinn tough =/

WillieTheWhale2 votes

I played one game against Quinn, an I played Jaycee. You can go even in lane, because when she harasses you w/o q you can trade back with your aa's when you get her to 50% hp you can just go full ham with you 'w' in ranged form, e-q when she tries to run away, switch to melee and walk trough your e that is still there and then you go q-w-e-ignite. That's pretty much a dead Quinn.

Pretty good matchup for Jayce, but I only got to play it once (the new essence reaver works really nice).

Melledoneus2 votes

Funny thing is, I main Shen, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Except Riven and Garen, those matchups are nearly impossible to win, so you do the Shen thing and ult bot or mid lane to get a turret and a dragon in exchange for a turret.

A Miss Fortune1 votes

Doesn't Vayne counter Lucian? Realistically she does more damage, has more mobility, and she can easily dodge almost all of his abilities and landing a condem is simple due to his Q forcing him to stand still briefly.

Oddly I see basically every Vayne get murdered by Lucian.

Shiv/Firecannon combo got nerfed. Let's see how that affects Vayne, shall we?

She was still very over powered before the Firecannon

ZenithEin4 votes

Really, didn't see her as really strong before it. Powerful like she always was, but nothing over the top or warranting special mention

You mean before they took 1/4th of the passive damage off of botrk?

Definitly nerfed her, meanwhile PD's passive

That's not what the community demands. They want Vayne to hangout with her Rival Warwick.

Good thing the community doesn't get to determine balance. This game would be in shambles.

It does occasionally get to determine balance, sadly.

Eesh.. I think I purged that win-rate from my memory somehow.

Never forget (again).

MrWasjig1 votes

The same way that removing about 4 AD and nothing else resulted in "Waiting to see how that affected her"? Riot is just putting it off.

Congratulations you rallied the vayne circlejerk

I think vayne is unbalanced but all you did in your post was whine that she's "unbalanced" and didn't offer any suggestions to make her balanced which doesn't help anyone.

How to nerf vayne

Silver bolts proc does 8% of the that gets max hp at all ranks

Silver rings proc from 6/5/4/3/2 auto attacks

This results in a net even late game for an average of 12% max hp damage per 3 auto attacks ( 12/3=4 so if we make it proc per 2 AAs at 8% it still results in 8/2=4, which is the same damage output just in smaller amounts more often) but heavily nerfs Her laning phase due to no longer being able to rely on that extra true damage during trades due to the number of AAs needed

Combined this with making the shiv and cannon passive a not work together and she will be in a good spot with an actual weak early game and a strong late game

Dalanin1 votes

Why would ppl pick her over kog'maw then, she already has a weak early game and this would just make it worse.

keep in mind she won't build any real AD item till mid-late game.. she will focus on AS/Crit till she can proc her w easier.

If they want to narf vayne, they must lower her w to atleast 10% at max level, and lower a bit her AS scaling. (That was buffed a few patches ago)

To pick her over kogmaw is simple

She has kite, kogmaw becomes a turret to do max damage

It's mobile with less tons of damage or stationary with more tons of damage

For example you would pick vayne over kogmaw if they have an assassin heavy team and yours can't really guard you from it

If they don't have an assassin team and you have a good front line that can keep you safe, kogmaw is the way to go

That sounds less like a weak early-game, and much more like a completely gutted and non-existent early-game. This is League, not DotA: You need some sort of early-game presence, even if you're late-game focused. The key is that you want to make their early-game a bit weaker, but not unnoticed. Even Nasus can do shit early in the game if he has to. With the nerf you proposed, Vayne would have no early-game whatsoever.

TheOvermind1 votes

Nasus is the weakest laner in the game with his major source of damage his q at 7 s cd early on. He can't trade on his own only if he gets engaged upon, and even then he is more likely to lose trade. Vayne is nothing like that, and if bot lane was a solo lane vayne would outrade champions like Caitlyn who are considered her counters.

That ignores his high base stats, wither giving him a huge edge in aa trades, and spirit fire amplifies minion damage which can win a trade on its own with proper wave management.

And for vayne, it's the opposite. The only laners who can't straight up out trade her damage have poke to zone her out of farm. Without a support to counter-zone/lock down a target to swing the trade in her favor, vayne would have no winning lanes.

The support already plays a huge part in bot lane power

Vayne would lose the true damage trading in lane which usually consisted of land 3 AAs and back off, it would remove her true damage from being a factor in lane, she would still have the other damage, but her in lane true damage would basically be gone, making her have to play safer but she can still trade, just no longer win every trade when she gets her 3 hits off then backs off

Transgressor2 votes

Punctuation is your friend. And remember, space after each comma or dot, or any symbol for that matter. Good formatting makes your argument at least a bit more readable, no matter how stupid what you have to say can be. It's not off-putting, so people will bother reading it.

This has been a PSA.

Vayne mains are crying.Because; Vayne is freelo now.You accept Vayne very strong in all games.Vayne must get nerfed.

Silents4292 votes

Funny because she got her core item nerfed, her counters buffed, Last Whisper was nerfed and we now have items like item 3094 to allow more marksmen to outrange her. Her tumble got nerfed and she lost the base damage on her silver bolts.
