The Vayne Conundrum

Peel Your ADC··1 votes·449 views

For some reason, Vayne gets fed really hard in the realm of silver and gold to the point where she can completely ignore her awful early game and just jump straight into two items due to people just not knowing bot lane.

Sadly, some of us still play non-insta-delete champs and have to watch in horror as the rest of the team expects you to walk up to vayne and pretend like she isn't a threat. You die from getting kited by Vayne and whoever is the support while your team does... whatever they do to lose two people, Vayne turns on them, gets 3 kills, rinse and repeat until Vayne is 12-1.

At that point, there isn't any hope. If they're 2/11 from going in at awful times, what makes you think they'll finish reading the teamfighting section of whatever mobafire guide they opened up in the loading screen and turn it around? So you farm and hit the surrender since there literally isn't a way to deal with the biggest problem on the enemy team. But the vote ends 1/4 every time.

A couple options I've explored are: farm the jungle, farm the lane furthest from them and squeeze in a tower push before Vayne finishes red and chases you down, continue grouping to give up even more gold, or coach your team on what to do while you safely farm in the jungle and stay away from them.

Any other routes I missed?

You can't exactly balance champions around their opponents playing stupidly.

Also, no one on your team had Oracle's Lens (and your team bought very few pink wards) so you couldn't see her when she stealthed.

It did not help that your damage dealers fed, Jarvan built full tank, and you didn't get Righteous Glory for engaging on her.

There were a lot of things that went wrong with that game beyond just numbers.

Lulu getting caught out by Janna (somehow), Kat being... well. Yeah. J4 not having any effort in dealing with vayne, sivir getting melted, and my clear lack of ability to get beyond their front line safely was just too much.

she needs to get rid of her silver arrows doing true damage and make it like varus and do magic damage

Played Ez into Vayne in Team builder once. Don't go with this matchup. Because the enemy vayne can push you wave into your tower, and you can't counter push because your much more Mana Hungry. It might have worked if I got really good engage from my support, but on the same token The enemy support can be just as good at disengage.

So the only way out of that conundrum is if the Jungler camped our lane. Punishing vayne for pushing so much. Yet I can't actually count on my teammates for Jack.

As for that match. I did OK in the laning phase, but I was unable to deny Vayne from getting fed. I reached My mid game spikes with tri force and Muramana, But inevitably tapped out because we couldn't close the game before the hyper carries got fed.
