Silver bullets OP

Why does silver bullets deal true damage that is a % of the targets health? Most people who deal true damage deal a flat amount of true damage so you can build a massive healthpool against them. And most people who deal % health damage deal physical or magic damage so you can build mitigation against them. But then why does deal % health true damage? Tanks cant do anything against a good vayne because building armor doesnt work, building magic resist doesnt work, and building health doesnt work. The only thing even remotely useful is frozen heart because of the aura and even that does not really stop a good vayne from being able to pentakill an entire team.

Do the math on it. It doesn't hit as hard as you think. Her autos are still the vast majority of her damage.

Actually the crit deal much more damage at that point than the % health dmaage... Even if it is true damage

To deal a quarter of your opponents health in true damage you need 9 attacks at ~1.6 attacks per second lategame meaning it'll take ~5.6 seconds. That's just for a quarter of the health (not counting regeneration or shields here) or 11.2s for 50% of his health.

How often do are you abe to continiously stand still and can auto attack for such a long duration without being blown up? Never.

The damage comes from the items and especially critratio and IE leveraging the bonus AD from her ultimate.

Blaming her W is a much too common missconception.

Coming from my experience as a Vayne main:

Vayne's kit from a utility standpoint is a laughing stock. The amount of situations in which she is useful is far less than say a Jinx or a Graves where they can quickly clear waves, have other utility abilities and influence beyond their auto-attacks. Corki is the best AD-Carry right now due to his ability to clear waves, deal decent damage, a long range dash and continue to output DPS at range where other ranged champions are forced to reposition at the cost of damage to avoid dangerous threats. To allow any AD-Carry the ability to auto-attack to their heart's content is a bad idea and Vayne takes advantage of it better than most with super high damage in all of her abilities with drawbacks as well.

Add onto the fact that most of Vayne's damage doesn't come from Silver Bolts. Look at the damage done to champions at the end of a Vayne game.

Vayne is meant to be a tank killer. Give her enough time and she will blow it up. The point isn't to build against her, the point is to face her in a situation that favors you and not her. Be able to lock her down just long enough for your teammate(s) to blow her up and render her null.

Vayne makes plays but thats all she does. You either suck or rock at Vayne.
