Did you know Vayne is hard to play?

Just had a game where someone said vayne was a "tricky" champion, didn't know pressing q-auto and one-shotting squishies and then chasing everyone else down like sonic on cocaine was hard.

crit build removed all her skill

What makes her difficult is she's incredibly easy to CC and blow up, so you have to position right on her when the enemy team has a clue how to beat you. Right now, though, she's just been overbuffed and is the counter to the entire meta, so I would highly recommend banning her every game.

Ever since the Q buff she's been quite brain dead, but before that she took a ton of skill.

If you don't have the murder murder murder attitude, i guess it is.

Believe it or not it is actually harder to do then you make it sound. I play almost every ADC in the game and I do generally well, and yet when I play Vayne or Lucian I tend to do shit. >.> I honestly can't recall a time I won a normals match with either of those champions.

I give zero shits how hard she is to play. Yes she's hard in that she needs to jump into the fray to do any damage, but if you allow the best players to abuse the shit out of her kit and reliably stomp, that's not right. It's all about counterplay. The champs that can do the most damage should have the most counterplay (or counterbuilding), and vayne has very little. I'd argue the same for champs like Yasou and Lee Sin despite the fact that they are mechanically harder. Their counterplay is limited (or at least overly complicated), so their potential should be lower.

Guitar hero is really hard, but should you be forced to bet a win or a loss on whether a stranger did well on a song on expert? Those that can do it would abuse this, and those that can't hand you a win. Sure it might even out, but what's the point if you have no interaction with the outcome? Then it's no longer a game, but a gamble.

Maybe I just suck with her but I've tried playing her against Diamonds and let's just say it was not very successful.

Someone said Vayne WAS a "tricky" champion. Keyword is "Was".

I played Vayne a few times before her latest buffs. Never really liked her. Her range for a marksman is way too short for my liking. She gets bullied too easily in bot lane during the early game. I like marksmen that could poke from a distance. Guess that's why Varus is my favorite marksman.

Brain dead right click champion with spoiled brat elitists playing her. Just as cancerous as riven players. Significant nerfs incoming and it's about time.
