"Vayne's winrate is fine", my ass.

Just kidding, it's totally, perfectly okay for arguably """SUPPOSEDLY""" the hardest ADC in the entire game (except maybe Draven), who's also second most popular and picked ADC in the entire game, to have >50% winrate average.

meanwhile rengar nerfed with 45% win rate

That's mainly due to how often he's picked and how little he provides to team fights. Has nothing to do with him as a champion. As a champion he's completely overpowered.

Best princess EU7 votes

the fuck is this statement?

rengar is overpowered because on the good hands he's a monster, just ilke vayne

oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votes

RENGAR IS A BIT DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE OF HIM GETTING PERM IN CREASE IN DAMAGE FOR EVERY CHAMP HE KILLS WHICH ALSO SCALES WITH THE BOUNTY HUNTER MASTERY. IF HE KILLS 3 UNIQUE TARGETS

SO HE GET 7 +7% BONUS AD FOR 3 UNIQUE CHAMPS KILLED PLUS 1.5% Xs 3 FOR THE 3 UNIQUE CHAMPS KILLED

SO THATS 7+7% +4.5% DAMAGE JUST FOR DOING WHAT HE IS SUPPOSE TO DO... ASSASSINATE TARGETS

IF HE KILLS ALL 5 PLAYERS ON ENEMY ITS

20+20% BONUS AD + 7.5% DAMAGE WHICH WILL OUT SCALE ANYTHING A VAYNE DOES

Thanks for the big letters. I can't read small ones.

never understand the idea that big letters are insulting

Papa Andrei3 votes

Its not insulting, but if you act like text is akin to speech, it just means yelling. Would you like a conversation with someone who has no noise control and just sits there yelling "HEY HOW YOU DOING HARRY? HOWS THE KIDS? DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS ONE TIME IN NAM?"

The Blue Rajah2 votes

Big letters imply emphasis. You can't say that they imply nothing, because they are out of the ordinary. The equivalent of consistent emphasis throughout an entire sentence is speaking loudly. That's what it means, that's how people will read it, no matter how much you insist otherwise. Sorry, sometimes you just have to deal with reality.

KaRniVooL131 votes

no once again that is something you are implying to context that isnt there

its not reality ...

ITS JUST BIG LETTERS nothing more stop over thinking shit and think it means more then JUST WHAT IT IS

which is BIG LETTERS

UkeNeverSeme1 votes

Not really. Theyre called "capital letters". To anyone with any knowledge of the english language (aka, none of you NA guys before attending college), that would imply emphasis.

rengar is a bit different in the sense of him getting perm in crease in damage for every champ he kills which also scales with the bounty hunter mastery. if he kills 3 unique targets

so he get 7 +7% bonus ad for 3 unique champs killed plus 1.5% xs 3 for the 3 unique champs killed

so thats 7+7% +4.5% damage just for doing what he is suppose to do... assassinate targets

if he kills all 5 players on enemy its

20+20% bonus ad + 7.5% damage which will out scale anything a vayne does

fixed

I'm a draven main, he's definitely more difficult to play. Not trying to be a biased asshole, though.

Astôlfo9 votes

That's exactly my point.

If she's that difficult supposedly, she shouldn't be doing average while having the second highest pickrate of any ADC.

Sir Binley2 votes

The thing with her, is that she builds two items and auto's me once in a fight, then i'm forced to back. That's why she's a little silly right now, due to the Q buffs.

Troll for Trump2 votes

Draven used to be one of the hard counters to vayne. Early game bully vs lategame hyperscaler, Draven should win. But nope, now Draven has a negative WR vs Vayne.

Brain Errör 4041 votes

Maybe because Draven is actually pretty hard to play? He still shits bricks on Vaynes.

Troll for Trump1 votes

That would be true if his playerbase was high. He's popular, but his playerbase is quite low. At least, in relativity to what's considered "meta" at any given time( basically, ADCs have 4-5 with insanely high playrates, and everything else isn't played much)

DoktorKaiser10 votes

Vayne is not hard ffs, she has so many tools to defend herself and cant be built against, is also hard to lock down, she has so many tools that she is barely even hard to play any more since her early game is in worst case meh, but usually pretty good unless vs Cait or something. Something actually hard to play is Draven who is hard af + no mobility and low peel, Ezreal who has to constantly hit skillshots every 1.5 seconds to actually be effective but ok he is safe af, Kalista is at least as hard as Vayne, Twitch used to be hard before he became KogMaw 2.0, btw Kog is a lot harder than Vayne due to being the easiest to kill ADC etc etc... Having difficult to master mechanics doesnt make a champion hard people, being shitty/immobile/skillshot reliant does.

ModAcademy Kayn5 votes

A majority of Vayne's damage is still Physical, so Armor is still effective.

KaRniVooL131 votes

so you mean items like item 3742 item 1031 item 3105 item 3060 item 1029 item 1054 item 3026 item 3025 item 3190 item 3047 item 3143 item 3110 item 2053 item 3109 item 3069 item 3075 item 3082 item 3050 item 3157 item 3512item 3068 are effective vs vayne ?

what if you get health items too?

man you blew my mind

TheSingularity2 votes

^^^^^ she's arguably one of the easier adc's. Twitch, kog, draven and varus are all more difficult to play properly than vayne due to immobility and/or skillshot reliance.

Vayne is ea

UkeNeverSeme1 votes

If you compare to lucian who has similar mobility and range vayne definately provided too much reward for the risk, but then again lucian is blatantly underpowered currently xD

ReadyxPlayerxOne5 votes

Win rate nothing... this bitch can 3 shot most TEAMS at full build. How is that ever ok?

The 2nd Horseman2 votes

Well I mean if a champion were to get two shot and kill everyone in three shots it'd be different, but going invisble dashing, and ccing people is where the problem arises.

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

I mean i will get downvoted anyways as always, silver boards know it better but the reasoning is "hypercarry". But i dislike hypercarries. Because in league you have no proper tools to shut them down except ending the game early and not feeding them. If they get ahead they get unstoppable. If you can turtle the game out they still become unstoppable and just win because "hypercarry". Bullshit design in my eyes. That's why vayne also is complained about so much. Low elo games tend to last more than 30mins up to 50. Where any trash vayne will be farmed back enough to just rightclick every teammember to death in 3 autos with a few Qs inbetween who will then end up as "vayne mains" with 1,5 KDA and 40% winrate.

Vayne isn't about skill floor she's about skill ceiling. She is very easy to pick up but very rewarding to master. Don't think Azir where he's super hard at first then good once you know how to use him (at least during his prime) think something like Caitlyn where the extremely simple kit makes them approachable but the depth can reward very highly skilled players.

Honestly Vayne isn't a problem right now. Last time I played against one I picked Draven and stomped her into the ground during laning phase, even with her brand support virtually 2v1'ing my support and I. You should be more concerned with things like Shaco who is still on top after the last nerfs, Vi and Hec who are like assassins but better since they don't die with their colossus shields, and Ivern, because Ivern.

Stop saying this like they are two different things, they aren't.

Stop saying this like they are two different things, they aren't.

Skill floor refers to the amount of skill required to play the champion at a basic level while skill ceiling refers to the potential performance at high levels of skill.

Stubborn mathematicians refer to these definitions as "wrong" because they use different variables but given the wide usage an acceptance of the terms and their definitions it's time to suck it up and accept that these are what the terms mean.

http://champion.gg/champion/Vayne/ADC

You neglected to mention that she also has the single most experienced playerbase on average of any ADC, which would inflate her win rate.

KaRniVooL131 votes

so that being consider would it be ok to assume that she isnt broken or op? when her over all win rate is 50.68% and on players who have 125+ games on her having a win rate of 54.03% so hmm people who main her and play her alot are better at her and have a higher win rate but over all she is 50.68% .

call me crazy but i think an over all win rate between 50-51% is balanced

Yeah Vayne is okay right now. Stronger than average, but not too out of line.

KaRniVooL131 votes

would it be possible due to the the rework or armor pen that directly hinders lucian who dont use crit builds make it stronger meta for champs who are auto attacked based?

so lucian is a known "counter " to vayne normally? yes? and he is nerfed due to the rework of armor pen items like item 3142 item 3147 so a champ like him cant bully lane any more. as soon as that happen champs who are auto reliant and crit based rose in win rate from the ADC role... cait, vayne. trist, (jihn dont matter armor pen, crit he is over tuned ) etc hell

there are 7 adcs with higher win rates then vayne

Caitlyn Jhin Jinx KogMaw MissFortune Tristana Varus

but love the hate on a champ that does what she is suppose to do, out duel people , kill tanks, and late game hyper carry

JackMcSnipeyz1 votes

In that case we should gut morde cause his main's winrate is 60% right? I mean, fuck i know this is a crazy concept, but maybe if you put time and effort into a champ, you should have higher impact than someone who just picked said champ up.

KaRniVooL131 votes

im not saying to nerf her... im saying she is fine

but i have a 78% win rate on maokai i guess he is broken too ?

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

Thing is while gutting zed and leblanc over the years riot always said (that applies to emperor trump as well) that these mechanical demanding champs need to be below 50% winrate to be considered balanced. We hear from vayne players and also riot that vayne is THE hardest adc to play if not the hardest champ in the entire game (exaggeration much i know but thats boards) so we can safely assume her winrate on average needs to be below 50% but somehow that doesn't apply to her. That doesn't apply to yasuo or riven or similar cancer champs. Only a few chosen once like leblanc and zed. Azir is another case due to high elo and pro play. But this existing bias is one of the factors why I complain about champs like vayne, yasuo and riven. Don't know about the rest but i take riots words and say vayne, yasuo and riven are overpowered by sheer stats alone.

UkeNeverSeme1 votes

Well youre misunderstanding them: If the average azir player had 125+ games on him a 50% winrate would be fine/maybe slightly underpowered. But if the same holds true if average games are around 50 for players he would be blatantly op since really good azirs are then sitting at maybe 60% winrates. The thing is in high elo a good azir/lb could outdo ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. even if your opponents were equally skilled. And ofc thats not ok. Currently vayne is not in that spot (she was before the nerfs tho). Sure she will butfuck you if you pick garen into her or kalista, or something dumb. But if you play the game correctly you have a 50% chance of winning against a vayne with 125 games on her. Imo thats fair.

... arguably the hardest ADC in the entire game...

I don't understand why people keep telling this lie of any ADC being even remotely challenging. How hard is it to right click on someone, or to use targeted abilities? Vayne is literally 100% targeted, and 95% of her damage is just her right clicking on you and going AFK until you die. ADCs are the literal easiest class, yet do the most damage and have the most sustain and tools available to them -- they shouldn't, but they do anyway.

TyrekGoldenspear4 votes

Probably becuase...

They explode to a sneeze.

They need protection all game to do said stupid damage.

The team that loses their ADC usually loses the teamfight.

Everybody and anybody is out to kill the ADC.

They build glass cannon but can't fight anything themselves without peel.

The ADCs complained about the most are ones that have self peel or burst. Most don't fall under this category.

Unlike most classes, they have to focus on positioning the most.

You play Tristana. You should know this isn't a cakewalk unless you have good peel.

So do most squishy champs, kind of a common thing they have not exclusive to ADCs.

Yeah, 'cept they can go mid or top with relative ease and carry the game.

The team that loses their ADC usually loses the teamfight.

Yeah, no. So many teamfights can be won without an ADC.

Everybody and anybody is out to kill the ADC.

Everybody is out to kill whoever is easiest.

They build glass cannon but can't fight anything themselves without peel.

Lifesteal says hi.

The ADCs complained about the most are ones that have self peel or burst. Most don't fall under this category.

I complain about all ADCs.

Unlike most classes, they have to focus on positioning the most.

EVERYONE needs to position well, so again, not anything exclusive to ADCs.

You play Tristana. You should know this isn't a cakewalk unless you have good peel.

I carry games with relative ease, and feel bad about it afterwards.

In my elo (d4 last season) any tf were your adc dies post 30min is a loss even if ahead. Just saying. In low elo it doesnt matter as much since bad adcs are worth nothing, but in high elo any tf without an adc is a loss unless the enemy team do something majorly stupid. Aka. Step on a red carpet, clump up hard vs a ziggs, get womboed or similar.
