the real reason vayne is so strong right now

Tank meta. Tanks are starting to get out of control and vayne is the answer to that.

thankfully riot realizes it too and will be nerfing armor next patch.

the reason you guys shouldn't be worried about vayne is because the assassin meta will make its return, making vayne players cry. then assassins will get nerfed into the dirt some more then ADCs will reign supreme once they get there ADC item changes. then riot will buff tanks and tank junglers again in season 5.

the cycle continues. it will always continue.

The tank meta has been over for over a month.

Isn't Vayne also an assassin?

Tank meta.

Eh, tank meta's been more hyped up than it's really worth.

I'd go more with several marksman receiving nerfs at the same time Vayne received buffs.

She's currently sitting in the highest AS per level gains (4%) where she used to be average (~3%), and her ultimate grants 30/50/70 AD where last time I played her extensively her max-rank ult only offered 55 and later 50 AD, for most of the time I mained her less than a Janna bubble.

It's also worth pointing out that in itemization when she started - typical marksman build had pretty lacking %AS options to start a game with, and Vayne was largely regulated to running with: item 3072 just to survive lanning, while not putting the raw AD to nearly as good of use as most (which went all the way up to 100, and was amazing for the AD burst on champions like Graves Caitlyn Ezreal

item 3144 item 3153 Do a really solid job at dealing with most of Vayne's early-game itemization issues now, along with giving her a decent, continuous spike when several of her rivals are saving for that BF sword. Her early-game weakness is pretty null with how good her early itemization path is.
