Why is Vaynes range so long?

When she was released she had the lowest range in the game of any adc, it was the primary factor that was supposed to balance her overloaded kit. Now she has some of the highest in the the game.

Only Caitlyn, Ash, and Varus out range her by default. Jinx, Tristana, Kog, and Twitch can sometimes out ranger her. Everyone else is either tied with her or less. I feel like she should have 500 or like Lucian or Sivir given how many tools she has to avoid damage and disengage in her kit.

IIRC, she's always had 550 range. That is the "default" range for ADCs.

She is considered to have a "short-range" because she has average range (instead of extended like Tristana or Caitlyn) and she has no abilities to allow her to affect enemies outside of her attack range.

Considering pretty much every other ADC has abilities which extend their basic attack range or to affect enemies beyond it, Vayne is still a short-ranged ADC overall.

Wasn't Urgot released before Vayne? I'll have to check.
