Tired of Vayne, who's with me?

Look, I've strongly hated Vayne since I first started. Sure, shes not the easiest champion to play but certainly not hard to learn and master. With a 2 second roll that gives a damage increase + close distance + matched with her ult, an invisibility that she can proc every 2 seconds.. Things get a little overwhelming.

Along with what I said above, her silver bullets.. Theres not much to say there. An ADC with a three hit proc that SHREADS someone (including high armored tanks). Need I say more?

Then there's her Condemn. Oh the condemn. Sure, don't stand in bad places and she wont stun you. Cool. Its not always that easy to be in the right position after all in tight quarters. The fact that an assassin can jump on her and she has the ABILITY to knockback, stun and massacre literally angers me at the thought. And if you thought you were gonna catch her out? Think not, one shot with that and a roll and shes nice and safe. Or she'll just kill you in milliseconds, whichever suits that Vayne player.

Oh and her passive? The fact that you'll never chase her down is annoying enough BUT NOW YOU'll NEVER GET AWAY EITHER! The movement speed boost from her passive is an ADC's dream!

And finally, her ult. Her ult literally gives bonuses to her totally overwhelming kit explained above. Every 2 second invisibility, damage bonus and a TRIPLE increase to her passive. Not much more to say here.

End game Vayne is a nightmare. No matter how much you shut down Vayne, she will be a nightmare end game. Its a guaranteed thing almost. Now Riot buffs her attack speed beginning game to compensate for her totally dominating and overwhelming kit end game? Nah, not cool.

So I await the day that she gets nerfed because she has to eventually. It has to happen. The day it does, I will fall upon my knees and look up to the sky as tears fall down my cheeks.. and I will once again believe League of Legends can be played competitively while being equal.

Vayne has a terrible (for lack of an even worse word) early game that you NEED to take advantage of. Most players in higher tiers don't even play vayne because she gets wrecked so hard in the laning phase. If you find yourself losing fights to a vayne early on, it may be because of their support countering your support or because you got caught out.

When playing against Vayne, your main goal is to win the lane then end the game as fast as you can. End game vayne is pretty strong, thats true, so make it your life's goal to never get to end game.

Fun Fact: Vayne has a defense rating of 1, meaning she is extremely squishy. With low armor and magic resist, beating her early should be a breeze.

TheFujiApple,

I agree with everything you said. I never lose to Lane Vayne. Maybe I should have made it more clear that at no other point does vayne annoy me TILL Mid to Late game.. And then Late game.

What you said is what an ideal situation looks like when playing against Vayne. Beat her in lane, win the game early. In some situations, that is incredible possible and easy. In most, such as if you don't have a tower seigeing group or you yourself has an end game champ (Nasus for example), it can be very hard to just end the game early when they have a vayne.

That in its self is what annoys me. We would have to put fourth so much effort to stop Vayne from reaching end game. Cause it is inevitable she will reach it and she will easily hyper carry.

Even Riot makes jokes about it as you can see below
