Any chance we could see some Vayne buffs/changes? She's underperforming in a tank meta.
Her single target "tankshredding" is pretty weak compared to the utility and aoe damage from the very strong adcs like Sivir and Ashe. Even her dueling is not fantastic when she's facing strong duelists like Lucian, and other ADCs with huge AS steroids.
It seems she's on the weak side as an ADC and she either needs to be a better tankshredder so it's actually worth losing the utility and aoe damage the other ADCs bring, or have slightly better dueling or laning power so she's not so easy to get an early advantage against.
My proposal is tweaking her silver bolts slightly so that she's not a true damage bot. Here are a few ideas:
-
Have her silver bolts work on each attack. 1st hit does 1/6th of her current 3rd proc damage, 2nd hit does 2/6th the true damage, 3rd hit does the remaining half. This way she's not 1 bolt away from losing trades but her damage is still not frontloaded at all.
-
Give her silver bolts a slight AS buff like Vi's denting blows (burst of AS on proc) or Volibear's frenzy (small AS buff once per stack, up to 3 stacks). Maybe even give her a completely new effect like having each hit increase her AS until the 3rd hit procs the true damage and then her AS is reset back to normal.
-
Give her a small love tap to her base stats. The biggest issue I see with her is that her damage is pretty weak without her ultimate. She's obviously going to do more damage to tanks but against squishies her damage is nothing special. Nearly all the strong ADCs have steroids in their basic abilities or passive. Maybe bump her base AS to .69 from .66 and go from there.
-
Give her a passive on one of her other abilities. Maybe tumble could give a passive 5/10/15/20/25% AS or flat MS.
Thoughts?
exists?
