is she super easy or something now? or is it because the one adc that generally countered her is nerfed? Or is it because she actually has a kit with something that has no counter play. Unless you consider frozen heart, which then it has counterplay for a small number of champions but it doesn't actually counter the % health true damage.
IcyPepper3 votesShe was free this week, so of course her pick rate jumped a bit.
And thornmail is a pretty decent counter against her. She also has a shitty early game, and can be bursted down by adc lane bullies like Graves.
iConcy1 votesher early game really isn't bad since technically she can out damage anyone after level 3 since lucian isn't played much anymore. Thats like when people said yasuo's early game was weak but we all knew that wasn't true.
IcyPepper3 votesBut she has to land three autoattacks in order to do so. Her range isn't that amazing either. She's got no attack speed steroid either, so there's that.
And I said Graves not Lucian.
Hell, maybe even Miss Fortune could bully her a bit early game. You just have to bully her with the right support/adc comp.

OhOkYea2 votesVanye is only half decent unless mained by someone that has perfected her. Yes she is easy to pick up. She is also easy to kill unless being used by an experienced player.
Doogmi2 votesLol her kit has plenty of counterplay. She can't exceed 550 range, she can only do single target damage, and on top of that the main source of her damage is every three autos on the same target. Aoe, burst, zone control, cc(obviously) and champs that outrage her make her life hard. Her early game is pretty bad but, but she's a hyper carry so that's intended.
Levyathyn2 votesVayne's counterplay is just about any of the top ten most played champions right now. Most assassins, crowd control junglers, burst damage ADCs, etcetera. You may notice her popularity spike is driving her win rates down a bit, as well. Vayne has an awful early game, and most teams worth their salt will do their best to shut her down before she becomes an issue. Trust me, I've played Vayne a good bit not too long ago, and I cry a little inside when I see an enemy Graves, Draven, or Leona for example.
Sona Ping2 votesVayne is being played all the time
No, no she is not. She is just being played a little more often in the small section of the player base you are matched with.
Also, please stop using this word → "counter-play"
