Why is everyone calling the vayne changes a buff?

Her Q bonus damage no longer crits. Her w does some more damage, and her ult has a conditional heal added. Why is everyone acting as if this is a huge vayne buff? This is a slight buff against tanks and a pretty decent nerf towards everyone else. What happened to the people that hated being one shot by vayne? Are these people actually vayne mains in disguise trying to get the changes as a whole removed from pbe?

Vayne as a champion is polarizing.

Being mobile and stealthy, she plays more like a DPS Assassin, and nobody likes that. Now, she get's her old identity as a tank buster buffed, which is fine, given they are right now meta defining, BUT at the same time, riot slaps an unnecessary healing mechanic onto her. Sure, it's conditional. Sure it doesn't heal that much when killing a squishy target. But the fact that it adds to her survivalbility while being already hard to kill when played decent is what I would guess is why some people are throwing a tantrum.

And imo, she still does very well in 1v1 scenarios vs squishies, given she has the element of surprise and an ultimate that interrupts enemy dps.

Idk man, the buff just feels shitty and is only implemented for the sake of buffing Vayne, to make her playable at worlds.
