It's like Rito is aware, and making (light?) fun of us

Yeah, Lyte likes to make fun of us.

  1. It has been hours, not even a full day, since the patch. How can you even judge win rate shifts accurately with less than a day's data?
  2. Riot's not going to levy out massive changes before the pre-season Marksman changes. The last 3-5 patches of a season are a dry spell of extremely minor changes, followed by a massive load of changes in the first few patches of the pre-season. This is how it works every fucking year, people.

Thank you, seriously thank you.

Well to be fair,with her pickrate,vayne get's in a day more picks than plenty of champions get in a week.

Mind you I'm not sure where this data is from,from what I remember sites have a few days delay before showing statistics.

There are a few of those,but not plenty.

You can just work from straight %'s.

Vayne has a 35.44% pick rate, there's an average of 30.4167 days per month, meaning Vayne's picks/day in the scale of months is 1.17%. This means any champ with bellow that pick rate has less picks per month than Vayne does per day.

Well yes and there are at best(lolking is being annoying) 7 champions of this sort,which is a few.

LankPants2 votes

IMO it's too many. the fact that one champ is allowed to have 30x the pick rate of 7 others and receives at best a slap on the wrist is utterly discussing. Same goes for Thresh honestly, he hasn't even got a slap on the wrist yet.

Well tbh for those champions they themselves are mostly the issue: Zilean,yorick,urgot,poppy,galio are 5 of those 7,the others being karthus and singed.

Her pickrate is still a problem,but they aim to put a lot of work into adcs in the preseason,so that's kind of understandable,no excuse for thresh though,it's disgusting that they just let him take such a huge dump on variety.

Bass with the logic as usual. It's still funny though lol. Never personally had a problem with Vaynes though so I can't sympathize.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

I have had plenty of problems with Vaynes. . . . Just not the champion. . .

you missed the joke :)

JustMyBassCannon4 votes

I'm afraid this joke had no punch line, or it was an inside joke. And we all should know, if you have to explain the joke, there is no joke.

Tails Doll2 votes

Problem is, she's been a problem for more than 4 months or somethig like that, enough patches came and went and no real changes were made for Vayne, even if you are waiting for massive changes on preseason, there is no reason to leave her at her top tier state (53 % win rate is too high for a "high skill floor/cap" champ, see LeeSin Thresh )

Didn't the patch come out this morning? Give me a break you can't be this stupid

I'm sorry to say that they can be worse than this.

Welcome to the League forums. Cookies are on the right. Aspirins are on the left. We don't recommend mixing them with the punch . . .

I thought this was Gameplay and Balance not Memes and Games

They reduce 3 AD from Vayne.

Still has higher base AD and Growth than MF and Varus.

Ariel the Cruel6 votes

But Varus has %max health magic Damage! . . . Oh wait. But Varus has self peel! . . . Oh um. But Varus is Purple! . . . Ya, lets just stick with that.

That nerf was completely worthless. It won't affect her win rate at all in the long run.

It has a psychological impact. They told us in a patch that they nerfed Vlad's W, but didn't change anything in the code and his win rate dropped. No matter how minor, telling the players that the champion has been nerfed reduces their and their team mates expectations which causes everyone on the team to play slightly worse than before.

Riot does great job when it comes to nothing-nerfs. Riven, Ahri now Vayne.

Great job on that "nerf".

who needs 3 ad when you got 70 for free on your ult and the kit strengh of a 125 range melee champ packed into a ranged one

That nerf was insulting.

Remlap12234 votes

WOW 53%! MY GOD THE BLATANT FAVORITISM IS REALLY SHINING THROUGH RIGHT NOW!

And by blatant favoritism, I mean the boards' love of circlejerking about how Vayne is OP.

Her winrate is 50%, not 53%. It has never been 53%, I think the maximum I saw was 52%.

What, you mean the forum hive latched on to a champion they dislike, but is actually balanced, and demanded nerfs? A champion that is not dominating solo queue OR professional play? A champion that is simply popular?

Say it ain't so!

the patch is out 1 day, i don't think any meaningfull data has been geathered so far...though i don't expect her winrate to drop more than 0.5%

IAMS4T4N3 votes

one of my friends who mains vayne even agrees that the nerf is a joke lol and a 53% winrate on a champion thats supposed to be high skill cap is kinda ridiculous

Cis7v03 votes

this nerf was almost as harsh as the zed Auto attack speed nerf he got a while back. like sheesh i thought rito had favorites, but after this butchering i'll never look at them the same way again.

GJ rito on finally balancing champs fairly.

Mannysmoker2 votes

Damn that nerf was so bad, this gonna hurt Vayne so bad, now she's unable to lane...

HayRoss2 votes

That's a bigger drop than I thought it would be, to be honest

ZylotheWolfbane2 votes

Hey, it's .05% per 1 AD! It's actually the perfect plan, just lower her AD like 3 points at a time until you reach an appropriate winrate!

Sohleks2 votes

That's funny but no way you got legitimate data. You might even be looking at an entire months worth of data with half of the last day Vayne's nerfed.

With the marksman update I expect them to nerf Twitch again and buff Vayne.

CISTERN1 votes

I can point u a champion tha people complain for him about his very high basic damage, olaf. Now think about vayne, olafs w just helps his kit u dont w8 to deal damage with that, like vayne's e, vaynes w deal more damage than olaf's e because u deal 300 true damage + ur auto-attack damage =480 damage (do the maths with lw), Olaf r gives him 80 damage vayne's r gives her 70 damage near the same damage as olaf, but vayne as adc multiply this damage much better than olaf because she built all dps multipliers when olaf cant do that, vaynes q has low cooldown while give her a aa reset 2, so the dps of this skill is not low as people think, like olaf's q, Vaynes damage is the op part, her kit is k, after marksmen rework vayne will remain op because her kit has to much damage, vayne scales like meele champion, but she has range

JESUS CRIST give it a couple of days, the numbers have to even out before you make such a bold clame.
