I had some ideas to balance out Vayne's early game

Zydron··1 votes·505 views

so I have 3 ideas, 1 probably won't work from a technical standpoint and the others are a bit odd

Idea 1 - Remove the animation cancel from her w

this would allow her to not get her w off near instantly in lane, and wouldn't be a nerf to her late due to the fact her tumble slows down her auto attack speed at some point because its simply slower

This probably isn't possible due to how dashes are coded (see lucian dash, ekko, any champ with a dash, etc)

Idea 2 - Make her w only able to proc when she activates her w as a steroid

That's how they gated Tristana and Kog'Maw's power as adcs why can't it be this way for Vayne?

**Idea 3 **- This one is a bit weird but hear me out MAKE HER W A LINEAR OR AOE ABILITY

I know what you are thinking, Zydron, how the hell would that work, well I shall explain that to you Basically it'll work by allowing Vayne to proc her w off targets only once It sounds a bit restrictive but when you think about how she already 3 shots people late game, it isn't a nerf to what she is supposed to be

The skillshot might even be able to have so interesting effects like a .5 second vision decrease (kinda like Graves) but that would probably need her to be changed in her ults power, maybe removing the stealth from tumble, idk, just throwing ideas out there

That last part might be a stretch but yeah, let me know what you think

To be honest. I think a reasonable change for Vayne's early game would be to simply increase her base damage. Vayne is still an incredibly strong champion. Once you survive the early game and play it smart, you should be able to be a significant contributing factor to the success of a game. Just don't do anything stupid during the early game to get yourself caught out and therefore be put behind. Play it safe and smart!

I'm talking about nerfs here, y'know, to actually make her early game weak

But her early game is the one area where she's weak?!

OP: Do you play ADC? Vayne is not a champion who needs nerfs, the real problem is that Riot keeps nerfing the other ADCs. Weaker Sivir ult, Graves and Lucian are both meant to be caster ADCs but dont have enough damage on abilities, etc. Small buffs to the other ADCs would certainly help balance out some of the perceived Vayne overpoweredness. No one complains about Jinx having 140% attack speed steroid because you dont see that, Vayne does about 20-25% true damage and the rest is physical, but because the true damage is visible it is a problem in peoples minds.
