Vayne top this meta

With Tank junglers, and Tank tops shifting back into popularity, why am I not seeing more Vayne top lane? She does a pretty good job at shredding tanks (as well as pretty much everything else)

fizz does what she does but better

I don't think I agree. Fizz can burst down one person in a fight, then he's pretty done.

Vayne can burst down everyone, and she has short CD's

I also feel vayne has an easier lane

Except for the fact that vayne is ranged and has a monstrous lategame

I did it a couple times. It's really fun playing an adc AND not having a support every time.

You have to build her slightly tanky, though, but item 3153 and some other attack speed item usually does the trick.

I remember her being played every once in a blue moon last season against Tank tops, but not as often because of Fighters and Bruisers still being rather popular top and in the jungle, as well as bursty assassins and DFG mages in mid.

but right now with the jungle shifting towards cinderhulk tanks, and even top lane shifting back to tanks, as well as assassins and most burst mages nerfed it feels like it'd excel in this meta

Im not 100% sure, vayne seems like a good pick to me. However, i think its because a) vayne is quite squishy, and if she gets camped theres no support to save her and b) she takes until late game to do much, and if shes shut down by the jungler she'll still be weak. Although to be fair the main reason is theyve never heard of it before

she is played top relatively often

also i had a fun game recently when our 4th pick went duomid teemo, forced me from mid to support, enemy blitz killed me and our vayne several times and on top of that our top (the pun is not intended) ragequit after dying several times to their top, so our vayne went top, left me to suffer solobot vs blitz, killed that fed riven a few times and carried that game 4v5
