It also appears that her AA range is bugged, no wonder her win rate is inflated lately

You mean the best counter to tanks in the game is having success in the tank meta? gee...

Or maybe the blade of the ruined king buff lets her drain tank 6 item tanks in melee range with 2 damage items

ADC that thrives at killing tanks has decent winrate and high pickrate in the tank meta. She's doing her job. Nerf please.

The meta shifted in her favor. Some champions are naturally going to have higher win rates than others depending on what players are doing. It's when they're just too powerful no matter the meta that they need a nerf (although if they excel TOO much in one meta, they might be nerfed as well).

A 52% win rate isn't too overbearing, even with a 25% pick rate considering that she's a tank-buster in a meta favoring tanks at the moment. If it was 54-57% with a high pick rate, we might be onto something, but nothing about Vayne changed before the current meta came into play and she definitely wasn't overbearing then.

Considering we are talking about a win rate that is lower than Skarner's, I think we are fine. Not that win rates mean anything either way....

Funny enough, the same sort of game sampling says she she has a 49% elsewhere http://www.lolking.net/champions/

Roughly 30th percentile in winrate. In a tank metagame, I'm slightly surprised it isn't higher. Actually, op.gg and lolking both put her at around a 50% winrate, which really isn't that great for a meta that should so perfectly fit her. Not impressed at all.

From reading that post, it appears that they couldn't make this work with any champions except Varus. Might even be his problem. Not sure if the bug is significant. Needs to be looked into more.

If it is ony working with Varus, might it be maybe a different case? Not Vayne's AA range being too long, but Varus' one being too short?

Meanwhile Jinx has 34% pick-rate (Literally the most picked champion), 54% win-rate and isnt bugged at all.

Vayne is pure cancer against melees and stomps most ADCs. Her "weak laning phase" is a joke because an all-in support with Vayne wrecks poke ADCs Ezreal Varus Caitlyn just as hard as an all-in support with Graves or Corki, yet unlike Graves and Corki, doesn't fall off. Even when behind she can duel any ADC.

Jinx is nowhere near as cancerous as Vayne because of her weak dueling and vulnerability to all-ins.

Labeled as a "high skill cap" champion as well. I'd say that's a bit disconcerting.

She would be truly terrifying (perhaps overpowered) in the hands of someone who knows how to play her, if someone who is mediocre with her can get a 52% average winrate. Yeah?

Note that the stats on this site are only based on platinum+ matches. Her winrate overall is around 49%.

AnonagonMay 15, 20151 votes

change her AA range to 525 and she'll be balanced forever

Tank meta.

Nuff' said.

Shadow GilgameshMay 16, 20151 votes

I hate that she's played so much, since I love playing tanks, but it's OBVIOUSLY a favorable meta that has her win rates up, and not that she's suddenly OP or anything.
