Why doesn't Vayne have %bonushealth true damage?

Like, seriously, she's most commonly described as a late-game tank shredder. However, with the idea of %maxhealth true damage(with flat), she shreds tanks and squishies alike, and after she finishes her BotRK she's on a pretty even playing field with most ADC's(minus maybe strong burst ones like Draven, but even then sometimes).

However, with %bonushealth, that would make it so not only does it not work too well until the mid-late game, but it also doesn't shred squishies just as well as tanks. Plus, the flat true damage on it is pretty much enough to make it semi-viable early game anyway so its not a totally useless spell you don't get until you can't stop upgrading your Q or whatever.

It would just make a lot more sense gameplay wise, seeing as what her role is supposed to be.

Because she wasn't designed to melt tanks, her melting tanks is just something she's really good at. Silver Bolts is thematically tied to being the thing that'll kill everything - from normal people to werewolves to anything else. That's why she has % Max HP damage - because silver hits everyone equally.

Thematically the best thing to do would be to remove the flat damage, because that actually hits squishies harder.

Probably for the same reason they haven't switched item 3035 or item 3135 to %bonus[resist]: in order for it to be appropriately powerful, it would have to be overwhelming against those who actually stack the affected stat.

she wont be able to duel other adcaries who dont build health and then everyone could build armor to counter her w which could need health to work so she would have 1 useless skill and why should someone pick her over another adcarry if she cant kill tanks aswell as other squishes every other marksman will have one more ability they could kill her easily
