So I checked my ranked match history

I get a Vayne in about 50% of every game I've played in the past while. I ban her whenever I'm the captain

Is this a low elo thing? Is anyone else tired of seeing Vaynes everywhere? I'm not complaining about her power, but I think there may be something we need to do about this. Maybe item 3153 nerfs, maybe actual Vayne nerfs, maybe other champs need to be changed, or maybe it's just me...

Thoughts?

Honestly, she's not even broken right now. The reason you see her alot, is because she's a decent pick against other big meta champions. Since the meta is devourer junglers right now, they rely on being able to stick to somebody to AA, which vayne is slippery and can avoid that situation. She is also good against Sivir, Jinx, Ashe which are the main ADCs.

I only picked her up the past 2 weeks because of all of the whining on the boards. I was genuinely curious how I'd do with her. The answer is quite well, actually. You get into a rhythm when you play Vayne. It's constant movement and counting, moving and counting. Looking for any available weakness on your opponents. It actually can be exhausting, because it takes a lot of focus.

Anyway, me liking a champion always means that there are nerfs incoming.

Vayne doesn't need a power check, as someone said in another comment. We can argue all day about how OP Vayne with a Bork can be and how stupid her W damage is, but she also has one of the shortest ranges of any ADC. She's not built for picture perfect teamfights in mid. If there's a Vayne in a teamfight in mid lane, drop your Riven on her. She's squishy as hell.

tl;dr Kill her before her % damage starts adding up

Vayne definitely needs a power check.

I think a minor nerf would be just here. Something like Jinx's nerf size.

hit bork hard.

like remove lifesteal on the passive again, and reduce the ad of the item to 10.

What if they just removed Vayne's ability to buy Bork in the first place. She just cant buy it anymore. That's it.

"I'm not complaining about her power"

? Yes you are, and you're justified

She's broken as hell currently, she's banned all the time on streams and is picked a ton in Asian regions for a reason lol

Vayne is a Devour Jungler now.

her AA's apply two stacks of Silver Bolts every other shot.

shot 1: 1 stack shot 2: Trigger shot 3: Repeat

Due to the fact that she can trigger mid/late %health from BotRK and Silver Bolts 33% more often, plus the huge flat-damage increase from Devourer and her own, natural AD bonuses from her ult, her slipperiness with Tumble and her hard CC with Condemn, she's completely broken and can easily get away with this as a final build;

item 1300 item 3153 item 3933 item 3085 item 3102 item 3143

The only change that should be made to BotRK should be: Melee Only. Problem solved.

Vayne has been and always will be the most popular ADC short of a serious gutting.

She's a hyper-carry that can actually take care of herself somewhat, and is mobile enough to fit into most any comp.

That said, people very salt-ily over-exaggerate her usefulness, because it almost entirely depends on who gets the lead in the laning phase.
