I think I now know why Vayne feels so frustrating

I’ll keep the salt to a minimum. Her kit is a ball of stats. I can't think of any other marksman kit that provides as many raw stats as hers, correct me if I’m wrong.

  • Her innate ability gives her bonus movement speed when running toward an enemy champ, which is a majority of the time since she's supposed to be dealing damage.
  • Her Q, apart from the roll, amplifies the damage of her next basic attack.
  • Her W awards her for hitting her basic attacks in quick succession, which isn't that hard to do. Coupled with her typically buying attack speed, and she's rewarded with considerable damage for simply doing her job.
  • Her R gives her raw AD and triples her movement speed bonus from her innate.

Since a lot of her kit augments her basic attacks, which really can't be evaded like skillshots or even AOEs, dying to her seems somehow unfair since it feels like she didn't do anything too special.

To compare, look at Draven’s kit:

  • His innate gives him immense snowball potential, but he can be prevented from cashing in on it.
  • His Q bumps up his basic attack damage immensely, but it isn’t without a precondition. If he can't catch his axes, he doesn't get that bonus damage. You can lock him out of it.
  • His W increases his attack speed, and refreshes whenever he catches an axe (which he should be doing). However, he still needs to catch his axes, and upping his attack speed so he chucks them out faster can make them harder to manage.
  • His E doesn't provide anything in raw stats. It isn't one of those abilities you have no reason not to use; he has to carefully use his displacement. Doesn’t boost his killing
  • His R lets him secure kills from long distances, but doesn't interact in any way with his formidable basic attacks.

That and, if she loses lane, she proceeds to buy item 3153 and 1v2s you if you didnt pick the right champs lol.

if vayne can 1v2 while down then you either picked terrible champs to do damage or she incredibily outplayed you

She does have to flash/ Q your skillshots, but that still shouldnt be possible for a late game hyper carry...

you act like she does shit with just a bork. if the 2 people are good they just have to not be condemned against a wall and dont let her just sit there getting 15 silver procs off on you

Sorry I forgot... She needs item 3006 to hit late game too.

Vayne's Q is only the next auto attack, with Draven if you press Q you don't need to catch an axe for your very next auto attack to do more damage, if you want the auto attacks following yeah, but your point makes no sense in comparison to Vayne.

He's an IE building ADC, aka doesn't need fuck tons of attack speed because Draven can LITERALLY one-shot you with Q and crit.

E is peel, and it's fucking good cause Yas can ult off of it and it is a guaranteed "stun" unlike Vayne's.
