Vayne is healthy (Here's why)

Hello there, soon-to-be number 1 challenger Vayne main here.

I notice that this board particularly hates ADCs. I'm not too sure why, considering that the very essence of what we do (which is carry) is right in the name of the role. I mean maybe if you want to carry games, you might want to pick a champion in a carry role? I'm just saying lol.

I understand you're tired of being 1v1'd by a duelist ADC but when it comes down to it, this is Vayne's niche. Riot specifically made her capable of beating anyone 1v1 if played correctly. She has all the right tools that lets her excel in duels but they are hard to use effectively. One wrong button and its GG no RE. On top of that she has the lowest ranged attack in the game and squishy stats, making her a glass cannon.

I know we like to jump to hyperbole and exaggerate how good she is, but let's face it. She's properly balanced. She does her job well and as a result that's why she's picked so often. You might even argue that she could probably even use buffs. I mean, you try playing an ADC that practically can only shoot at melee range! It's not easy!

She's a high skill, high risk, high reward champion and I think the developers have done an excellent job turning her into a champion for high skilled, high IQ, mechanically gifted people. However, if you're neither of these things, she's practically useless. This is a feast or famine champion, similar to Riven only she actually requires skill to play.

Anyways I hope you all have a nice day.

As an unbiased Vayne OTP who peaked silver 3 in Season 5, and now stuck in Bronze 5 I absolutely agree.

I deserve to be way higher elo but I'm playing an underpowered class (adcs) and an underpowered champ (vayne). I mean, just look at all the things I have to do in order to climb :

  • Learn to position
  • Learn to play safe
  • Learn to last hit
  • Learn to rely on my support
  • Learn to prioritize who I attack in teamfights (my team always yells at me for focusing tanks and it's true, I do mess up a little bit every now and then and attack the tanks like Renekton / Irelia)

I mean it's just too much to deal with, meanwhile other classes only have to worry about 1 thing and 1 thing only : WIN THEIR LANE

How easy is that? Seriously you guys, how easy is that? Just win your lane and that's it... You guys need to learn to play real champions such as those in ADC roles to truly appreciate the skill required to play this game

Top laners have the nerve to complain about the meta too. Lmao all they do is pick brainless champions like Sion and Maokai and whine on the forums.

If she's healthy , shaco is too then.

On a serious note : I'm fine with her when she hard carry after 40 minutes , because that means I fucked up , it was my fault , I had to finish game earlier and/or not even let her a second.

This is way more problematic when she does the damage at 20. Especially when we're in a season or you have to cross your fingers to have the best botlane.

On top of that she has the lowest ranged attack in the game

She has 550 range which is the average for ADCs.

Anyone who says average isn't short is overcompensating for something. She feels like a melee champion compared to Trist and Cait.
