Patch 8.14 | Vayne Buff Issue from a Vayne Main

Elohaven··2 votes·2,747 views

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.

Vayne is a 10.5% pick rate champ in high elo currently. In no world is she weak She doesn't need any buffs let alone a buff one of the most bullshit parts of her kit.

That's why I made this post. In patch 8.14, her W gets a +2% increase at max rank

bro if you want my opinion vayne with buffs on w and q and too many other things is good just try this press the atack barrier from healing atack speed coup de grace gathering storm absoloute focus and take botrk first item then static shiv and boots atack speed and ie and lord dominiks trust me i tried it you can scall early game with botrk and 1vs1 and survive early dmg from lifesteal and can be too much strong late game specially if you proc some w 3 hits on early game you can burst your oponent just try it and you will see what i mean
