The REAL reason LATE GAME Vayne Is OP as hell

Simply put, once you have enough items, there is no room to buy pink wards, thus allowing a champ like vayne to abuse stealth due to riot lacking any counter meassures since the removal of occulus like 2 years ago.

Thanks Riot! We appreciate people being able to "out play" us when the reality is that once you cant buy pink wards anymore, there is almost nothing you can do to stop vayne once she ults / tumbles

By that logic, Vayne's late game used to suck back when you could have pink wards on a trinket. You'd always have a pink ward late game and so Vayne's late game was complete shit.

Except that wasn't how it was at all and this thread is stupid.

I miss the pink ward trinket.

The problem with Vayne is that she's a duelist ADC. An ADC by definition is someone who has to be peeled for, and Vayne's pretty much being REWARDED for being caught in 1v1 situations. That to me is the biggest BS. It's like a tank-melting assassin.

Not to mention the yellow trinket could be upgraded to place pink wards instead, but riot removed it too. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

red trinket?

if your support built sightstone item you can easily have 2-3 of these and not be lacking in wards.

idk i think vayne's lategame is fine, but i play bullshit like azir and ahri so im maybe biased.

That's not really the problem since late-game is not supposed to be played alone and you can still use AoE abilityes or skillshots on her if you have a red trinket (or are lucky enough). The problem with vayne is that she gets a lot of free damage off even when you the counterplay right. You just can't negate her damage, there's no way around it, she will ALWAYS proc silver bolts at least once during a trade and chunk you too hard for you to actually catch up with her, your only bet is to outdamage her and, unles you're a hyper-bursty champ or a hypercarry yourself, you just can't hope for it, especially counting that she does a lot of true damage. She's balanced overall, maybe she gets her powerspike too soon, or maybe silver bolts should just be a straight up on-hit instead of a 3 hit since that would actually be more fair on her actual kit imho so she does need to be looked at a bit imho but really, the stealth is the last of her problems imho.

With that logic would not eve,shaco,twitch and such be OP late game as well? Or maybe they are, i just don't see them that often to tell.

Uh, last time I checked, unless someone is extremely fed, almost no one has a full set of items till at least the 50 minute mark. And you really shouldn't be wandering around alone anyways if they're doing that well. She excels in kiting and melting single targets. But yes, sure, just complain about an ADC that's so suboptimal currently she's barely worth playing at all because of how bad she is right now.

Wait, doesn't the upgraded red trinket act as a 'I can see stealthy things' thing? If not, I've been living a lie lol.

Not really

it only applies sometimes and Vayne still has trouble team fighting compared to other ADCs

If Vayne is so OP, why is Lucian so popular and Vayne is only a blip on the ADC radar? Christ, I see more Jhins than Vaynes.

Bisaknosp5/18/2016, 2:43:18 AM1 votes

imo her early should be buffed but her late game nerfed

Spoofghoul5/17/2016, 10:59:39 AM1 votes

yea the other reason would be the frikking 1000000000000000000000000000000000 trillion billion million centillion % max hp true damage she deals

nothing you can fucking do about it except kill her except shes untargetable and just procced it 3 times because of aa resets
