Rageblade change instead of a real Vayne nerf

Polaris I··1 votes·1,035 views

Why is rageblade getting changed to every third hit is a phantom hit instead of directly nerfing Vayne?

They should change Vayne’s w to a on attack not on-hit so it has no synergy with rageblade instead of nerfing every other rageblade user like Varus, Kog’maw, Master Yi (He is really strong now though), Kai’sa (Also really strong), Jax (But he now goes spear instead sometimes), and any other on-hit build you want to have fun with.

This wouldn’t nerf Crit Vayne which is more lategame orientated but nerf on-hit, without gutting every other user, nerfing her mid game. I’m fine with Crit Vayne since it takes so long to becomes strong and this change wouldn’t even affect her Crit build. No one complained about Crit Vayne so I don’t understand why riot won’t change her w to on attack. I heard Vayne is being nerfed and I have seen the proposed changes which nerfs in-hit but buffs Crit which I’m completely fine with

The extra pen early will help this mix Damage dealers but they benefit more from phantom hit since the pen does scale to equal amounts and is more inefficient in the early game.

I know riot won’t look at this but I just have to vent my frustration with Vayne auto banning her every game since I stopped playing top since it is absolute garbage right now if you aren’t playing the couple meta champs now. However they might go back to nerfing her since they already sold her new skin XD

Vayne is also getting nerfed aswell - the reduced cooldown on her Q during her ult now scales up to 50% at max rank instead of just 50% at all ranks. Together with the Rageblade change, these should be a pretty sizeable nerf to her.

She's practically returning to her level 16 powerspike spot. Idk why people don't understand its a good thing she's returning to that. She wont be top dog after these changes, I can tell you that much.

It's impossible to tell until we see them live, but they're definitely a pretty substantial set of changes that should definitely do something to her

Right, and thats what i'm waiting on. If they aint enough, then they'll do more, simple as that. Don't forget they will do stuff to the shop next patch, so some things might get cost changes or removed or changed.

They are nerfing her on-hit build considerably. Her AD ratio on Q is being buffed by 5%, her W damage is going from 4-14% to 4-10%, her R is getting an extra 0/10/20+ AD with the Q CD reduction going from 50% to 30/40/50%. They are obviously pushing her more towards crit seeing as how cancerous the on-hit is after 2 items.

they're essentially making tanks playable again and shifting all the users to AD based builds or just nerfing, the real downside is kogmaw and varus who get no compensation buffs and just become even more unplayable

Varus isn't that unplayable. Its just he's not the best when its a meta filled with burst fighters and assassins (and "assassins" in burst mages). Leth Varus with Rageblade is pretty good long as the enemy cant reach you and murder you instantly, the hybrid pen increases the W Q combo's damage.

just wait and see when the changes come through, he doesn't feel great in solo queue at all right now, and it will just get worse, kog is somewhat playable but just will be meh after

Players seem to forget that there are many many patches that follow the next one and so if these changes cripple her and she becomes unplayable, then the Vayne mains don't need to worry too much since they can just buff her again and vice versa.

People are outraged at how the Tahm Kench changes took away a huge part of his kit and he didn't get a whole lot in return, forgetting that if his new W is more healthy as a whole then they're free to just buff him some more in the coming patches.
