Will anything be done about Vayne?

Ben SwoIo··14 votes·1,205 views

Tired of her, like big time. Used to require some thinking and mechanical skill but now it seems like everyone thinks they're freakin Gosu.

Ban her? Well if I'm mid that leaves open Zoe Akali Katarina Malzahar Vladimir .......you get the picture. Same thing if I'm top.

Banning her shouldn't be the answer to her anyway. What takes riot so freakin long to do anything about champs that everyone KNOWS is a problem? Start of the season damn near all my matches have had Vayne .

Relic Shield being nerfed. Jinx being buffed. Coup de Grace, Last Stand and Cut Down nerfed.

Tristana Twitch were allowed to ruin an entire season and got away without as much as a slap on the wrist nerfs wise,

Whatever it is, I am sick of her. I really used to think she was super technical and cool, but now she just seems to deal heavy damage and win by default. This game as a whole just seemed to be wanting to cater to the less skilled crowd lately and it's really turning me off from playing as much. Just gets to be the same repetitive overpowered crap over and over.

There's worse "overpowered" crap in this game than Vayne.

This post was dowvoted despite giving OP thr answer lmfao.

Did someone actually expect Vayne to be deleted or something? Those nerfs are pretty strong, she’ll fall out of favor come patch 8.2

This is one of the stupidest lines that is used on the boards. If other things are overpowered advocate for them to get nerfs too instead of saying other things are op so its okay if my op stays op. I only disagree with Khazix Maokai Shyvana Alistar Leona and Kayn (if you are talking about red kayne) being op

The point is she's being nerfed while equally strong champions will run rampant. While you complain about Vayne, once she gets nerfed, enjoy getting whipped by every other champion that will become top-tier(ADCs). You misinterpreted the post.

There are champions as strong - if not worse - than Vayne.

Warwick, Zoe, Malzahar, Akali, Ezreal, Tristana, Twitch, Evelynn, Jinx(getting buffed), and Taric(massive amounts of damage) will still be untouched while Vayne is being vented about.

I agree with Warwick Zoe Malzahar Akali Ezreal Tristana Twitch Evelynn and Jinx But Vayne needed her nerfs And Taric when he got reworked lost 2 of his damage spells that also augmented his damage His E lost damage base damage and armor scaling for turning aoe despite being his only remaining damage spell and his passive didnt lose damage but i did lose dps so you could technically do the same damage it takes you twice as long to do it and ruined his comboing. if he as any other class people would complain that he is clunky. Taric does not do too much damage some people just fighting in his range with no defensive items and low health pools. Malzahar is another champion designed and blanced as if melee characters doesnt exist. New Warwick was balanced for ranged character counterplay as if melee characters dont exist and because everyone bursts you melee characters arent designed to take that 70% initial burst to their hp then fight after that.

Holy Jesus. You are the one we got but didn't deserve.

Well said my friend. Couldn't have said it better myself.

100% correct. Didn't disagree with anything you said.

We need more of you.

She's getting nerfed. People complain about her too much.

There's a lot of worse champions out there right now who aren't getting nerfs - AKA Akali.

Gets that juicy freelo with Vayne. "Vayne is bad and people are complaining too much. It's not like I climbed only because I switched to vayne. Dont look at my stats. Please dont nerf vayne".

Irony off. Vayne doesnt require any skill to play. I picked her up whenever I felt like and it is just too easy to deal damage. After BF and zeal I can just go ham with no consequences because the stealth itself and her mobility is simply busted. And mind that I picked her in actually elo where people know their roles better.

Elohaven2 votes

Yes, spread false information. Ignorantly comment.

Because Vayne is getting nerfed with relic shield while Tristana, Twitch, and MF are running rampant. Jinx is getting a buff.

But ironically, despite the nerfs, Vayne will be the strongest after them and is so impossibly hard to beat. Hurr durr - I played Vayne with no consequences.

Looks at your OP.GG

Oh wait - look - is abusing relic shield which is getting nerfed Oh wait - look - is using PTA which is weaker than fleet Oh wait - look - only played 2 games as Vayne

Really, you have no room to talk when you're riding the bandwagon and scarcely play ADCs

T4underbolt2 votes

Not like i have any other choice. In this dumb meta unless you play broken adcs you wont carry.

Mizaya1 votes

People act like the enemy picking Vayne is autolose.

I just dumpstered a Vayne with Kog, it's not impossible, yeah she probably deserves her nerfs but in the meantime I'm not gonna just sit and bitch about her.

T4underbolt1 votes

Maybe because kog outranges her, gets huge power spike with one item and usually has broken shielding supp with him amplyfying his dmg and debuffing,cc ing vayne at the same time.

Mizaya1 votes

In other words, you don't have to lose hope just cause the enemy picked her

T4underbolt1 votes

No.that means she has counterpulsation that is as much broken as herself with few advantages over her.

Why do people always say things like this about akali? Trash winrate compared to vayne and nowhere near as good of a carry as adcs are.

Doesn't mean her lane isn't bad. She stomps her lane against all matchups that cant burst her - basically most lanes.

She's losing because of ADCs being too strong and she does not fall off as hard as before. Her lane itself is still an issue and can use tweaking. With all the changes, her kit offers too many benefits: diver+assassin should not go together. She should be either tanky and deal less damage or squishy with massive amounts

LordGeovanni5 votes

Vayne never required mechanical skill she just needed a fat front line while being the champion that makes any front line of the enemy team irrelevant. i think Katarina and Zoe are bs too but at least i can run from them

Well deal with it.

She's not going anywhere.

The nerfs + relic nerf + runes nerf + jinx being buffed is going to tank her winrate.

Oh wow, you're edgy and cool. "Well deal with it." Just say that to yourself the next time you have a complaint about anything League related. "Deal with it" is a garbage mentality. Obviously a lot of people ARE trying to deal with it, but it's pretty difficult with the state she is in.

And no, banning her isn't the answer nor should it be (this applies to any champ for that matter). No one is asking Vayne to "go anywhere". People want to see her corrected, whether that means nerfs to her or items she builds, whatever. She just needs to be fixed.

I played Vayne and genuinely enjoy her as a champ like I do Zed . What I don't like is when it becomes easy-to-use roflstomp insta win. Makes winning feel "meh" and gives a false sense of skill level. There should be some effort put in to getting fed and carrying, not going 0/5 in lane but coming back with item 3087 then suddenly becoming Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Yall don't read pbe notes right? She has a nerf to her AD she gets from ult.

Arsinik3 votes

You are really complaining about vayne when twitch and kog'maw are still walking around the map spamming mastery every time they get a penta xD. Get over it vayne is such crap early game and if you cant win before she hits her spike then that is a player problem not a champion problem.

Bârd3 votes

Sure, it's not like she has a massive nerf on PBE as we speak.

But w/e it's not like people on the gameplay board actually care about balance.

Relic Shield is being nerfed right now, thats why shes so busted.

Infernape5 votes

Vayne's been busted (although not as much as she is now) ever since Riot let Shiv and RFC stack again.

Wonder when people will realize it's the adc itemization. Maybe when nothing else is left to put the blame on
