Just revert the Vayne buff already

It's okay Riot, we all make mistakes. Who would've guessed that turning Vayne into a more unfair version of Akali is fundamentally broken and makes her the best ADC in the game? Surely it was impossible to have the foresight to know this.

Seriously though, of all the potential ways to buff Vayne, they had to do it in the most annoying way possible? Being infinitely kited by a champion you can barely see or attack is unfun. The ult buff on its own guarantees that Vayne outduels anybody that can't immediately 100 to 0 her.

The problem is reverting something would give off the impression that they made a mistake so in order to avoid this riot tends to ignore issues like that or changes everything around the actual problem potentially breaking champs even more or making them completely useless, just so they can stick to the mantra that the initial change was good and just needed further adjustments.

And I assume they don´t want us to see reverts as an option, as they would be hit with even more demands for reverts whenever they break something just to "spice things up".

The only purpose of that buff was to sell a skin

Yeah Riot really need to either revert the ult Q buff or both the previous W buff and tumble buffs.

If you want to untilt after facing vayne heres a clip that brings a smile to my face, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiZmty-5j-s

Just buff her range or make her W stronger against squishies so riot wont have to give her massive crutches to make her viable.

At this point, vayne has a walker, a seeing eye dog, an emotional support animal, and a hearing aid, all to make her strong in a meta that shouldn't even favor her.

They will not, they need the cash cow alive for her next skin that is coming soon.

Riot wont because she has a prestige skin. That's how they work my dude, champ doing well or popular? Keep them strong.

"best adc in the game"

Are we talking about Ezreal here or Vayne? lul

She is far from the best ADC in the game and if you get to counter pick her she is in for a very rough laning phase.

She needed buffs for sure, though this probably wasn't the best way to go about it but let's not sit here and pretend she is the best ADC in the game. Maybe the least healthy ADC in the game.

Vayne needed buffs, but this buff was a terrible idea.

Give back the phat AD steroid from before, lose the half tumble CD.

they still need to milk her and sell that $kin.

I could deal with the buff if Phanton Hit was removed from the game but the constant diving, invisibility and 2 hit nukes are a bit much all together.

Take this Q half cd R buff away and give me back +5 AD all ranks on my ult and the AS per level you took away in 8.1.

vayne is in a good spot, proceeds to get 2 needlessly stupid buffs that make her broken as shit, she was in a good spot... oh look... surprise surprise a patch later she gets a new skin and a prestige skin, riot buffs champs if their gonna get a expensive or nice skin, makes people buy it more coz "oohh i can look cool AND be broken" wouldn't be surprised if fizz got some r%%%%%ed buffs soon too with his new prestige skin coming out

They should have like, given Vayne more MS on her passive and rewarded her more for good condemns. That would be a skill-oriented buff. Instead, they just gave her spammability.

everything riot balances makes them more annoying
