Vayne's late game is overrated

Cloud273··1 votes·734 views

No attack speed steroid, extremely short range, and no aoe damage. And in order to get her %max hp true damage, she needs to hit you 3 times in a row. Plenty of time to focus her down before she does any significant damage. Good luck catching a Jinx or a Kog'maw with their extreme safety.

You guys have to be trolling. Vayne can 6 hit a 4k health tank in the late game.

It is way over rated. And she has the worst laning phase. her late game needs buffed or her laning phase needs some help.

I think Vayne has a high skill cap and is terrifying in the right hands. Not so sure I'd want any buffs on her currently.

That's why she has a high skillcap, even though she has short range she can **litterally **auto attack 2 times and kill the enemy midlaner/adc.

Kogmaw and Jinx don't have a self peel or no counter invisibility. Her late game is really strong, the problem is Vayne sucks for half the game and the players do too.

Did you play in Season 5? Honest question, she was considered completely absurd in that timeframe. Just because tanks are valued less because damage stats are important doesn't mean someone should stop playing an ADC, especially a good duelist one.

Vayne basically has the best self-peel tools of any ADC, and I'd honestly say she's in a fine spot since she can approach a surprising amount of situations other ADCs can't and come out on top. Maybe you're just not realising her for her strengths?

Another thing to note, you say Jinx and Kogmaw are safe because they have a slow and a delayed-placement snare? You WHAT, Vayne's ultimate gives her enough mobility to run down three quarters of an entire lane!

Back before the big marksman update, Vayne was a pretty decent ADC when played correctly. She was never considered "absurd" though and I don't remember her ever being the top ADC in the game or even close to it.

The stats don't lie, she's been at close to the bottom all season in terms of winrate, damage, etc. Being that the people who play her average the most games on her (#1 among ADCS), this is a sign she is not in a viable state. She can't compete early at all but now she also has lost her late game edge to ADCs who can scale with her but also have better range and tools to keep them safe.

one reason that she is close to bottom of winrate is because she is like lee sin was, everyone wanted to play her but not a lot of people were actually good with her

For such a champion with such a high average player base average i think its more that Vayne as a champion is just way to bad early game. That she just sucks because her kit is prone to feeding easily early game and the enemy laner snowballing hard against her.

So you're saying she should have a good earlygame as well just because Riot shifted their game to favor champions that are good all game?

Nah I disagree, her design is fine and bad early is one of the few intended weaknesses for a champion that Riot actually goes through with upholding. If tanks weren't fucked this season by keystones she would be in a much more favorable spot, and buffing her early game will make her fucking ridiculous when tanks DO come back.

She does need buffs to be honest. She has the most games played on by people who play her yet her win rate is still crap. She's just not all the competitive to be honest and is right down there with Kalista as the worst ADCs in the current meta.

The thing about Vayne is that people need to stop building her full YOLO damage like you'd build a Twitch or Caitlyn.

Vayne has a lot of damage built into her kit.

item 3153 item 3046 item 3006 item 3031 item 3156 item 3026

A Vayne with a build like this still has great DPS to shred through just about anyone, but isn't as easy to pin down and pop like a pimple.

item 3072 item 3139 item 3053 are other good items that can help Vayne survive.

Vayne's late game can seem not great if you build her some shit like: item 3153 item 3046 item 3006 item 3031 item 3036 item 3139 sure, because despite your incredibly high damage you die if a gentle breeze blows by.

Vayne is very hard to deal with late game if she builds more defense than is typical for an ADC and takes warlord's bloodlust (fuck fervor).
