Patch 8.14 | Vayne Buff Issue from a Vayne Main
I've been playing Vayne ever since I started League. I love her, adore her, cherish the champion and love the designer who made her. I'm a one trick pony with Vayne.
However, when Patch 8.14 tried to buff Vayne - I was disappointed. That is not how you buff her. To be honest, Vayne's issue is that this early game meta will not let her scale and she sees repeatedly less play in high elo due to Lucian and MF.
Coupled with the Patch 8.1 nerfs to her ultimate and attack speed scaling, it's no wonder why she's so weak. I greatly suggest that you do not go through with this change on her W. She doesn't need a W buff.
Here's how I would buff Vayne:
- Return the AS scaling nerfed from Patch 8.1 or
- Return the Night Hunter AD buff
But not both.
See, Vayne should be super scary to 1v1 but she isn't right now. I'm more for the latter buff of giving her back the AD to her kit as the AS scaling will make her scale much faster in comparison to other ADCs with her W being AS reliant.
Thus, I believe the bonus AD revert is healthier as it recovers her DPS and dueling potential a bit.
Then again, she really doesn't need changes. It's more so that you should nerf some early game things (Electrocute, Conqueror), buff some base resistances, and give people survivability.
