She currently has the highest pick-rate out of any champion in this game (sitting at about 35%). I think she is too strong and needs a nerf, some people think she is fine or even needs a buff. I want to know what Riot has planned for her, if she is too weak, too strong, if she is going to get a rework or something, i just want to know what is planned for Vayne.

I'm not Riot, but she is definitely not fine.

BoRK rush gives her more benefit than other carries rushing IE or Triforce (Sustain as part of build path, cheapest item of all three, and a solid active ability)
Despite what was supposed to be a late game carry/tank buster, she doesn't have a weak early game at all, she can easily get some kills early on thanks to her passive. (The fact BoRK has a very easy build path with some immediate benefits doesn't help either.) She also deals just as much damage to carries as she does to tanks (which is a fair bit) and is extremely good at dueling.
While other carries don't start heavily picking up momentum until their second item (boots excluded), she picks up momentum after picking up one item (BoRK.)
Her passive lets her chase a bit too easily, and her ult makes it much worse (90 Movespeed boost at r1 is insane, made even worse with a stealth dash/tumble. It's pretty difficult to peel her off if she's gunning for you, especially if you lack hard cc.)
Is even better at ambushing champions in the jungle than Teemo.

That said, before she gets some serious nerfs, BoRK probably needs nerfs/changes as well (namely it being such a good rush item on several champions asides from Vayne, not to mention being a very good item in general. She may need nerfs after too, but BoRK is the best place to start since it makes her early game weakness basically non-existent.)
