Vayne's ability to kite needs a nerf

ContDeCaterinca1··41 votes·12,943 views

I am not saying a late game hypercarry needs to be gutted, but she can chase with 90 bonus MS, she can kite backwards with Q, the tumble invis buff needs a revert and she also has the condamn.

And she also does too much damage even standing still and right-clicking.

At least 1 out of everything has to go and vayne won't be in a bad spot, but would be better to play against. Probably revert the invis buff during ULT.

The ult buff came out of nowhere and with no drawbacks. She was pretty fine without it. It's one of those "we favour our posterboys and girls, so here, have a free cookie"

I mean what worst they was going to rework crit items anyway :/

same with tristana. Crit got nerfed, 2 patches later trist got buff to bomb AD ratio, now crit is reverted and she kept the buff. Why?

Sir Saltarin1 votes

Because Tristana doesn't need nerfs and crit isn't reverted maybe?

Not to talk about base stats and FleetF nerf, like, I get that you hate her so much but it's not like she's overbuffed lmao.

LTK KoRo1 votes

she doesn't need nerfs right now (unless people will start playing MSF comp from today) but she doesn't deserve any buffs either, she's the most cancerous adc to fight.

Maybe because she is still dogshit? 48% win rate She needs Buffs actually

Tristana needs to be kept in the gutter forever until a rework.

Why is it that whenever someone becomes strong and it isn't some forever-alone champ like Yorick, that champion's a poster boy?

At least put more effort into it.

Not gonna lie, Vayne actually is a poster girl for Riot. Why do you think she was the one getting the prestige Chinese new year skin instead of the champion who actually represents the Zodiac? Sejuani

Because she sells skins well, since she is a favoured poster girl.

And Aatrox "sells skins well"?

Kai'Sa didn't even have a history of skin sales and she was the first prestige skin in her skin line.

You guys just find ways to be salty over anything and everything when a champ's popular, even when they're only "kind of" popular.

We'll totally forget the WHOLE YEAR of Vayne being overshadowed by Kai'Sa because she's doing aight right now. She's the poster child of League, guys.

This is the boards.

There's no logical thinking here.

Everyone knows Riot favourizes certain champions. Yasuo, Lee, Zed, Vayne, Edit: Riven. There's probably 1 or 2 more, but overall they are unnerfable. Any nerf will be compensated. Oh they also get buffs not even because they need it, but to increase their popularity to spin the skin selling.

Your sneers are definitely illogical here.

Im a Vayne main and i have to agree, this was unexpected, certainly compared to some other carries she didn't need a lot of help

Funny thought came into mind: "Vayne's Silver Bolts now apply a speed boost to her target upon consuming the mark."

Is this a joke, or did they seriously give Mini-Gnar's own W passive to this annoying See You Next Tuesday.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

It is a joke and it is not Mini-Gnar's W passive. What he says is that he wants Vayne to give a MS boost to her target, not herself, so that you actually have a chance to reach her.

No, I mean like, imagine if Riot caused her targets to gain a movement speed to help them chase Vayne if she's trying to kite

They just need to undo her ult buff really

Vayne is lategame champion because her kiting lategame is godlike, you are overating her damage

Twitch can AOE down an entire team in 4 seconds vayne would need 15 seconds to kill everyone. So due to her singletargeted dps she has to be a kite god

Else why would you pick Vayne when Twitch, Kog, Kaisa, Xayah, Jinx, varus and so many fking outers out dps her lategame while not being that garbage early

Not every champion needs to be a lategame god in a same way (DPS)

How about you mention that she is:

  • Single target
  • Lowrange
  • Zero aoe dmg
  • Zero waveclear
  • has mid/bottom tier dmg graphs compared to other marksmen?

So you want to take away her kiting, what will she have left?

The mods need to filter out these low-iq vayne shitposts... they make zero sense and every moron on these boards jump the bandwagon every time.

Wow I can’t believe you just described Kalista <3

Bjørnetjenesten1 votes

yeah... nope not really

kalista has:

  • aoe dmg from spear and passive
  • multi target, can use item 3085 efficiently
  • High range skill shots and abilities.
  • much better waveclear than vayne
JeaneGreene1 votes

Well.... Vayne can change targets after 3 aa’s, so she is multi target. Vayne can use stattik shiv very well Vayne’s E knocks opponents away to up to 1000 range away.

The difference between the two is that Vayne is good and Kalista is trash.

Bjørnetjenesten1 votes

i actually want to jump off a bridge reading this comment, but lets see if i can explain this to you:

Vayne needs to attack one target at a time otherwise her passive W will not stack. Kalistas passive works on multiple (meaning many) targets. So she can use runaans to stack spears and do dmg to several targets at the same time.

Yes you are right vayne can do 60-140 magic dmg every 5-6 autos. Congrats! Can you compare it to runaans dmg? not really.

Vaynes E is targeted at 550 range. She needs to be within 550 range to make it work. if she is 1000 range away she cannot use E. Let me clarify... She needs to walk up to an enemy... who is 550 range away. Then she needs to press on her E button.

Pressing on the E-button from 1000 range away, will not work. Okay buddy? You got that?

Terrible excuse. She was fine before buff, she'd arguably even stronger now, she ought to have her needless buff reversed.

And she also does too much damage even standing still and right-clicking.

If she's standing still why aren't you or your team punishing her?

That's just lack of thinking from you and your team.

I mean, even when she doesn't kite she is strong, but when she does it's painful for you.

the guy is just nitpicking to find some loophole where it's your fault for losing vs vayne.

It's literally just Rageblade breaking her.

Are you seriously saying that a passive that gives movement speed TOWARDS enemies is too strong for kiting backwards? People are actually upvoting this shit?

kingDeDeDarius2 votes

Why are you conveniently leaving out her ability to q backward to Doge or escape, then use her Ms boost to quickly re-enter the fight when it's convenient for her?

Because that isn't what OP was talking about at all?

Wait wait wait, what I said is that you can't touch her, but if she is in winning position after the fight you can't disengage either.

No champion has even half this ability to kite, maybe except Kalista and some of them have even shorter range then Vayne( likeSivir )

Aseraan1 votes

No he is saying she can chase ppl whit 90 +movementspeed wich indicates shes is going towards her target not backwards.

And kite whit q backwards wich is correct cuz he doesnt mention her passive here.

pppl upvoting "this sht" cuz they read i guess no offense.

P0IS0N IVY1 votes

she can chase with 90 bonus MS

How is this relevant to kiting?

She's autoattack based unlike ADC casters like Varus. What are you expecting?

Vayne has kite ability because her only method of damage as a squishy is to put herself at 550 range and autoattack. All ADCs have something built into their kit that gives them some form of safety.

The only thing I can agree with you here is that the buff on her ult needs to be reverted. There's no reason to complain about anything else.

All other ADC's have ways to deal damage that extends outside of their basic attack range also.

Most ADC's have abilities that can be cast at a much longer range than their auto attacks.
