There is no such thing as AP damage.

I meant magic damage :p but I thought it might be too long.

Probably because Vayne is supposed to be a tank buster/duelist, and thus has extremely short range in which she can act (her highest ranged attack is 550; she can't even poke you unless she is within that range) and has her damage lowered if she cannot attack the same target. Changing it to 20% max hp magic damage makes her even better against squishies (you'd need 100 magic resistance to lower it to 10% max hp) and worse against tanks (above 150 magic resistance lowers it beneath the true damage). Even then, due to the nature of magic resistance primarily protecting against burst a main build will probably only top out at 160-180 MR for almost every champion except Galio/Rammus/Garen. This would be a buff to Vayne against everything against resistance gaining tanks or champions with %damage reduction.

Condemn is like 650 range. Also, STOP FUCKING SAYING SHE HAS LOW RANGE. SHE HAS THE STANDARD RANGE OF ALL RANGED CHAMPIONS. She also has like 15165616516 gap closers and a stun.

If you wanna talk about low range, look at lucian and graves and quinn. (I really dont know why quinn cant have 525 if graves does everything better than she does, and doesnt have to go into melee range to do it)

Let's be honest. Quinn only has 125 range. She is only good in Valor. ALLAH AKUBAR

Because Condemn is 550 range AND SHE HAS NO WAY TO INTERACT OUTSIDE THAT RANGE. If you are 551 range away Vayne LITERALLY cannot touch you; every single other adc can interact outside their base AS range except Vayne, which is why she's low range. Lucian's Q goes total of 1100 range, W 1000, and R 1400; Graves Q is 950, W 950, and R 1000, and Quinn Q is 1025, E 700.

Everyone knows Vayne has nothing outside of 550 range unlike every other ADC in the game - http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/Vayne

Vayne is effectively the shortest range ADC in the game.

Go in game. Hover over Condemn. Then press A for your attack move click. It'll show you the condemn range higher than your attack range

In fact, I did it for you.

Is it actually that much though? Sometimes it doesn't match the actual range you get, and sometimes it doesn't match the range you get until you put a skill point into it.

It was level one. I just started a custom game. I don't know why the pages say its 550. I play vayne everywhere and I ALWAYS knew condemn was higher than her auto range.

I saw the pic, I saw it has a point in it, I was just giving you some past examples. I'm asking are you certain that range is actually what it grants? There were several cases in the past where it didn't match at all and the real range was either more or less. Not that the Wikis are always right. They list Moonfall as 450 range, when it's exactly double Diana's AA range, 300.

Yes I am certain. There are always those times where condemn would hit while i wasn't in range to auto.

She doesn't have extremely short range. She has the average range for an ADC, being 550. Let us compare the range of all ADCs.

Draven 550 Ezreal 550 Corki 550 Ashe 600 Sivir 500 Jinx 525 Minigun, 700 Rocket Caitlyn 650 Graves 525 Kalista 550 Varus 575 Quinn 525 Lucian 500 Twitch 550

Not showing Tristana because her range changes

Let's count the ADCs who base range outranges Vayne: Caitlyn Ashe Varus

and counting range steroids Twitch Jinx Tristana

So out of 14 ADCs 3 ADCs have a base range that outrange Vayne, while 3 more have to have steroids to achieve a range greater than Vayne.

So what were you saying about her extremely short range for an ADC? It's also kinda funny considering she herself outranges 5 ADCs too.

Graves has a dash, Ez has safe ranged poke, Draven does stupid damage, Sivir has 2 forms of poke in which she doesnt need to AA someone, Lucian has a dash and ranged poke, Corki is basically all ranged poke, Kalista has a lot of mobility to get in and out of where she needs to AA.

Vayne is short ranged because her only source of poke is autoattacks. She has no way to poke without putting herself in immediate danger. The base range of these champs is okay since they either do not rely entirely on AA's or in Dravens case, does a lot of damage to the point where if someone does trade with him with auto's it'll typically be in his favor.

the point is more that vayne's AA range isn't high while she has nothing besides AAs, only conditoanly agressive cc and only a shortrange repositioning which only has a low cd if you get in AA range.

Unlike a corky for example, who has two longranged aoe skills, 1 of them spamable, and a longrange gapcloser to follow on engages from a big distance.

Vayne has no aoe, nothing with more than 550range, no cc to get enemies into that rage, and her gapcloser, while beeing massive in fight, especially for kiteing, has a short range and thus is rather bad to enforce things. She has her massive singletarget tank shredding dps cause it's her one major strength.

p.s. you forgot kogmaw.

thus has extremely short range in which she can act No.

How about we just stop with this %HP cancer shit. It's not at all fun to play against.

If you make it magic damage people will have to buy MR against her as well as armor.

It was a joke, calm down. Vayne is my permaban for that cancerous W of hers.

She would be fine. As long as you then buffed her range, gave her waveclear, and gave her a poke.

Then people who build good amounts of MR wouldn't get taken down as easily, while squishies would go down just as fast. Sorta goes against her tank buster intended design.
