The Problem With Vayne

Aimléss·Mar 31, 2017·1 votes·400 views

When you are playing against Vayne and she gets fed or to late game and starts destroying your whole team, you feel so helpless and disgusted that you don't really wanna play anymore.

When you are playing Vayne and you get destroyed before 20 minutes and can't even build static shiv before the nexus is torn down you feel like garbage and don't wanna play anymore.

Basically, 95% of games that Vayne is played in someone is gonna feel like helpless trash and not enjoy the game at all. Where there's only like 5% of games where it's actually a fair, fun, and competitive match. Though this can be true for most champions, the champion that this is the absolute worst for has to be Vayne.

I admit that Vayne is a difficult champion. But I also admit that her kit is overloaded and unhealthy for the game. :/ I personally never have a game where, if a Vayne gets even marginally ahead or makes it to late game, I feel its fun or fair or even much I can do. Yeah, she's squishy but by late game, she does have a massive amount of tools to save her ass with. And that's assuming that you can even get to her before her Percent Health True Damage rips you a new one, even as a big tank. The problem with Vayne is that they removed one of the usual possible counterplays from here by giving her the exceptionally unhealthy true damage on every third AA. That's why Vayne will, like many other champions, never be in a spot that's considered good and balanced. She'll always be kept slightly weak or just way too strong.

The truth is Vayne is actually a hard champion. A lot of people just don't want to admit it because she's one of "those" champions -> Yasuo Zed Leblanc

Even lategame she can still get beat, she's only invincible like that if she's just plain better than you.

Did you read what I said? I didn't question how hard she was at all. All I said was she either takes the fun from her opponents, or they take the fun from her. There really isn't a middle ground with that champion.

It's called high risk high reward, with the risk being how hard she is and how weak she is early. Something being "fun" is just an opinion and means different things for different people.

High risk high reward can still be fun. I am not talking about OP. I am not talking about any of the stuff you're saying. All I'm saying is she either takes the fun from herself, or from other people. Respond to what I am talking about "the fun aspect" not skill, not risk taking, not early/late game power. Those are true with many champions and they don't remove fun the way she does. Rather it be her fun or opponents fun.
