https://my.mixtape.moe/cmqwhg.png Obviously, the patch is still fresh so a lot can change. Regardless, I believe this gives a clear picture as to how exactly Vayne buffs effected her. I for one am going to enjoy the incomning shitstorm. I've got my popcorn ready. [sg-lulu]
what a completely shocking and unforeseen turn of events. Who ever would have guessed that giving her a completely unnecessary buff that most vayne players didn't even want would have made her broken? I'm just bummed because now my go to adc is going to be permabanned [sg-soraka]
On a completely unrelated note: new Vayne skin on the PBE
Lol
Totaly not cashgrab buff since if vayne players like the skin they will buy it nonetheless. Its just a trash buff ona trash champion whit a polarising kit making her even more polarising no news there.
Need to be careful with external sites when it comes to reporting the current day - there tends to be weird things with how the data gets parsed. See below for an example on Cass - her winrate certainly didn't plummet to 44% today.
The image below is what we're seeing in regards to her winrate increase at high mmr (plat+).

Can't for the life of me get those images to work inline with the post, but if you hover over them you can see em.
Wanna know what's an even bigger joke, the stuff people say when defending this buff:
"Here's the thing about Vayne: She.has.to.land.the.auto.to.gain.the.reset. So, for as much as you think this is a stupid 1v5 buff, its only a QoL buff for Vayne players and that's about it."
"It's really not that big."
"She only has 550 range so this buff is fine."
"She's the worst ADC atm." (she wasn't actually lmao, that right goes to Kalista)
And people wonder why we set our bar so low in terms of expectations and general respect when dealing with your average ADC main.
I really hope this was caused from a higher up pushing the patch to sell more Prestige skins.
It'd be really sad to see the "Balance" team so clueless, that not a single person stepped up and thought this was a bad idea. How did these people go to school for this? Getting pathetic at this point.
@Riot - Fund training for balance teams, they need a lot of help atm.
Edit: Sorry if this comes off wrong, I just love the game and hate to see so much bad choices being made lately.
Champ design is broken, why would she EVER receive a buff. I wouldn't buff her even if she was at 10% winrate
Same people working on this game as Season 8. No reason for Season 9 to be any better.
Who could have foreseen this???
(Hint - everyone)
Well, we should wait a few days. Let the dust settle in.

aaaand it's down to under 51%
Just gonna permaban the b*tch
Thats because her change id broken and OPAF but Riot is clueless to balance
This vayne buff is a blatant cash grab buff to get people to buy her prestige skin. Actually disgusting.
those nerfs are going to be juicy.
Just a note, if you use lolalytics.com as obsessively as I do, you'll notice that the most recent day of stats is always fucked up by as much as 5%. Tomorrow (after all the data is collected and processed), it will probably say that today's winrate ended up being 51-52%. I always have to wait 2 or 3 days after the patch to get any kind of confident read on the stats.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with the data collection, or if there are actually differences to be found in early-bird players vs. rest-of-the-day players causing the most recent (non-complete) day to have different stats. But it is a pretty consistent problem with lolalytics.
Then will get nerfed to be worse than she was before she was buffed.
Plot twist her WR actually went down 5% in diamond+
Her Ban and Pick rates skyrocketed across all elos though
Almost like WR isn't a good indication on champ strength and Pick/ban rates are much better
INB4 comments about sample size
Plat+ is over 20000 games and Diamond+ is already over 2000 games
I've always hated Vayne's w. The way to counter true damage is to stack health, and the way to counter % health damage is to stack resistances. However, she does both. You just can't build against her. Honestly, I like the concept of her kit. I just hate that her W is so oppressive.
