How to Counter Vayne

Prospector Pete··1 votes·885 views

Just build armor! She is AD after all! Oh wait. She deals true damage with her W. That's all right. Just build health! Oh wait. Her W does true damage based off of your maximum health. Oh well. Guess you're out of luck.

But seriously, if you wanna counter Vayne, you need somebody with point and click CC, like Warwick.

or you just need to actually focus her in a fight since she has short range and is extremely squishy?

550 is the average range and she is squishy like every ADC (not Graves)

Every thread.... Vayne has 550 range. Every skill she has is equal to that range. Her max range is 550; if you are not within 550 range she cannot hurt you. Every single other adc can interact outside their autoattack range, usually from 1000+ range. Vayne cannot. She is not considered short range just because her autoattack range is eh, but because she can't interact outside that autoattack range at all.

For OP, at 300 AD and 55% crit (PD and IE) every autoattack does approximately 439.5 damage a hit. Against a 4000 health champion (heavy tank) her W does 380 damage (60 base +8% max hp). The 3 autoattacks used to proc it do 1318.5 damage. For her W to outdamage her autoattacks then, the target needs 347 armor. If Vayne has a Last Whisper, that armor jumps to 534.

Her W is not broken. With any normal build her W will count for only a bit of her DPS; her normal autoattacks are still the vast majority of her damage.

And if she doesn't mess up her positioning?

This thread again. Are you all going for a record for how much you can spam the same topic in a day?

Quinn + A little practice = DeadVayne Teemo + General rat ba$tard Trollage = DeadVayne Jax + Cause its Jax = Yet another deadVayne item 3082 HI! item 3110 Sup summoner 3 Yo item 3143 how you been?

and many more! Lots of things counter Vayne, just a matter of if your willing to buy/play them.

This is most of that is counterbuild and counterpicking not counterplay, also with Jax due to him being melee she can self-peel with her E.

He only asked how to counter Vayne, not how to counterplay Vayne, note the topic. Also note the rant is rather item and stat specific so why can I not answer with items that counter Vayne? As to Jax, you've never had a long conversation with counterstrike have you? Not surprising, most people don't, the beat down is usually rather quick.

Attack speed reduction and blinds(or anything that causes her to miss) counter Vayne, she has counters, you just have to be willing to use them.

I don't understand your point on counterstrike, it doesn't stop her from knocking him away does it?

Just don't like to read do you? The complaint is that her True damage has no counter, I just told you, literally just told you that Vayne true damage is countered by blinds or things that make her miss (such as counterstrike) as well as attack speed reductions. I know you understand this concept, you're just being a brat for the sake of being bratty.

She'll just knock you away? That's pretty much true for any champion or with any items, situations happen, you will not always stop a knock back 100% of the time. So yes Vayne will knock you away sometimes, what does that have to do with countering the true damage portion of her abilities?
