PICK A TANK RIGHT? You think you're doomed because they have Vayne, BUT WAIT, you're a fucking genius. You know what to do. That little turd walked right into your trap card.

YOU ACTIVATE, FULL AP GLASS CANNON!

NOW, YOUR TANK IS NOT A TANK, BUT AN ASSASSIN.

NOW, YOU ARE ABLE TO INSTAGIB THAT TUMBLING DIPSHIT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

thx for support

Remember guys not to upgrade your rod into deathcap. It's a noobtrap, this is the best build legit. For luden's and archangel's, just buy a second rod. Never upgrade your first one.

i think he put that icon but actually meant DFG?

iamthegoatofwar3 votes

correct if that's what he meant. DFG was used by ap sion to instantly nuke a poor bitch near him when his shield explodes.

to replace dfg. rito removed the icon for it on boards and i diddn't want to ruin the row of items with text

You have no idea how cancerous AP Leona actually is until you've tried it... XD It's actually really scummy

You got that right. The 100-0 instaburst assassins were the only ones keeping Vayne under control. Have you seen Zed try to 1v1 Vayne on even gold? His combo takes too long, she kills him before he completes it t's disgusting.

Seeing Vayne run around untouchable actually makes me miss Fizz Leblanc Akali Katarina Nidalee if even for a short while

Tanks honestly work pretty well against Vayne in teamfights if they have backup. Vayne hates getting locked down and many tanks can CC her. There is a reason that she wasn't a common pick when Cinderhulk junglers (i.e. Sejuani, Gragas, Nautilus) were dominating.

If you have someone else to follow up with damage (such as a burst mage. assassin, or bruiser), she dies pretty quickly.

BattleBoar2 votes

This. There is a reason why I still play Sejuani or CC tank like is because Vayne does die very fast if you CC her right. Plus any one that can build frozen heart or Ninja tab fast is all so good if Vayne is not to far a head.

Have a specific example? E.g. I don't imagine a full AP Garen is going to do much... A full AP Maokai or Alistar might work though. Who specifically is working for you? Or is this just troll? Also, why go AP glass cannon on a tank instead of an AP assassin?

EDIT: Okay, so I'm seeing Amumu (who even non-AP I think works really well because his lockdown is enough for allies to kill her), and possibly Malphite. Going to start playing Amumu I think (in normals at first of course).

Malphite would probably be the first thing that comes to mind.

Actually, I haven't played him at all since his update, does he still have AP scaling on Q and... the AOE thing?

Rammus used to be good with SOTD, I'm sure something similar would still work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGCnOxgcvOM

Nautilus is ridiculous as full AP, his E is just unfair.

He has roughly 200% AP scaling, excluding his empowered autos. You need a respectable amount of AP to 100-0 someone thou.

It isn't as trolly as you might think. Full AP Mumu can 100-0 Vayne with W Q R AA E Q and she can't really do anything about it.

ohhhh yeah, APmumu, me and a friend used to argue over who went top just to play him. Also a crapton of burst while putting an enemy on lockdown.

Seriously, her condemn has a pretty retarded range to hit walls with. I've been Condemned from over the halfway point of the lane into the FAR wall of the lane by a Vayne, it no shit had to be legit max range condemn.

YEA! Go full AP, go full yolo, get bursted down, and receive reports, woohoo counterplay much! I went full AP with Shen TahmKench Volibear Singed Skarner Galio Braum Alistar , that damage, the damage was so high i could kill melee minion on combo, really scarry lol!

And then you realize she has flat true damage on her Silver Bolts.

And then you die.

Play more Poppy while she still has her ult.

I believe Amumu support would be the best option. He has the CC to get Vayne locked down enough. Another Champion with this ability could be Sejuani. Support Amumu is out-of-meta for now, and I hope he stays that way because I just don't want to see him sad about all the nerfs.

I've had success against Vayne with Corki.

Daxterr1 votes

Ap Alistar support is pretty effective against vayne , especially later in the game. His base damages are really high so you will want to get magic pen runes rather than ap. Around level 5 or so your combo will start to HURT and vayne will have to watch out. Level 6 is a weak point in the lane (unless you are ahead already) because your ult will not save your adc in a fight, so save your skills to peel like a normal alistair or get your jungler.

Then she dodges your jump and condemns you, gg. you died before you could ever reach her.

and when enemy mage starts poking you shit your pants

its a good counter to one champion ... but only in a 1v1 scenario in a 5v5 game you counter vayne by getting countered by a bigger load of things that enemy team usually has

Rysophage1 votes

why are so many people so salty about vayne all of a sudden? you can always just not suck at LoL ever consider that? vayne's winrate is not 100%.

iamthegoatofwar2 votes

vayne has mobility, high damage, percent and flat hp true damage, AA reset, self peel, and a passive that makes it difficult to outrun her. about the only saving grace she has is her low resistances.

Actually xPeke1 votes

Agreed, she's overloaded, dont forget she is also one of the few ADCs that has a stun and that her ultimate TRIPPLES her passive... and then u realise her Q cd is gonna be 2 seconds late game, with her ult she also has a 90 movementspeed towards you while also being able to turn invisible and using BOTRK active

You either out damage her or die.

Rysophage1 votes

and she's really weak to AOE because of her short range, she's easily bullied in lane, she dies to any lvl 6 power spike lane, (I.E Annie Ashe) her tumble is only a true AA reset when it's done against a wall and if that ends up killing you welp u got outplayed. Vayne is one of those champions that if you're good at ehr then you do well with her. People can't stand that. No one ever wants to admit that they got outplayed or someone's better than them. It's always OMG VAYNE OP. Lets assume rito gives vayne the evelyn treatment. Cinderhulk/tank meta comes back full force and with every other adc in a nerfed state the role is pretty much deleted from existence excluding like...jinx, sivir kalista, and tristana. Then you guys will just make a OMG KALISTA OP thread. The problem is not vayne's kit. It's bork. they buffed the item twice along with buffing vayne's attack speed per level a while back. combine that with the fact that the standard rune page also has a ton of attack speed AND all of vayne's counters aren't highly played cept maybe corki, vayne is in a REALLY strong state right now. But she dosen't need a rework or insane nerfs. Other things need buffs. like 60% of the Adcs.

You don't have to go to the extremes, surprisingly it's almost like the game wants front liners to pick a balance between damage and tankiness because like all things in the world, too much of a good thing is bad.

The game doesn't intend for anybody to be unkillable, even regular ADCs will shred tanks when built. It's just straight designed in the game that Tanks are only going to get so tanky.

So what this means is Silver Bolts is intended to get good value out of a regularly armored Tank. If you stack absurd amounts of armor to 'counter' Vayne, you're just giving Vayne or any ADC for that matter much more value out of their items than your own so of course you get fked.
