LOL, yes this was funny, but let me set you straight. You Need One CC Ability to Kill Vayne. Just ONE. I can't see how that gives so many people trouble [zombie-brand-facepalm]

meh she can kill a 350 armor tank in a handful of hits . nuff said. loses lane 0/4. comes back 21/4.

Flyer Beast2 votes

Now that's false. Vayne does not bounce back like a frog, she can get pretty far behind and feel useless. Vayne can only kill 350 armor tanks because their only damage is item 3075 and their only means of self defence is item 3143 slow.

her silver bolts do 12% true damage. nuff said. there is no protection from that

Flyer Beast3 votes

Shit. Didn't know that STUNNING SOMEONE didn't stop them from autoattacking consecutively. Sorry, My bad for not knowing that, one more oddly weird thing. Something in my memory is telling me that late game Vayne does 12% of your max health in true damage every third attack, but Ekko one shots you going from a near empty health bar to a full health bar with the click of the "R" button on the keyboard.

imo his ult is broken. it does more damage than some DoT effect at once and it heals him

Flyer Beast1 votes

Yeah, I mean it aint easy getting someone to where you will appear but its almost like walk next to that clone of ekko and die.

MunchCrunchLunch2 votes

just because its a skill shot doesn't mean that it should be more op than non skill shot. especially for an ultimate. it just adds utility. and in his case. it does a lot of damage and it heals and it has a LOT of utilty.

Not gonna disagree. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Ekkos Ult is pretty telegraphed but nice try Vayne Main.

Two, she could've built qss or merc, three if she built guardians angel, four, if she built zhonyas

item 3140 yes, true. item 3026 means she has less damage output. item 3157 1 in 1000 vaynes build this, and you cant even use item 3157 while stunned so it actually doesn't help unless you use it before.

Do what you would do with any ADC, get her out of position, pick her, or do the legendary art of counterpicking her in champ select. I don't care how strong full AP Lucian is, it won't help you much with Vayne.

Are you asking? Or simply trying to be smart?

She's got weaknesses. Exploit them. Shes got terrible range. No wave clear. No ability to deal with multiple threats. Is always in danger of enemy abilities (due to range but I'll include it as another weakness). Has very low ad (trades badly in lane against competent opponents).

About the only part of her kit that is broken right now is the lack of true sight in the late game which makes it hard to target her. But that problem isn't limited to Vayne; its a lack of itemization problem.

She's got the higher of the two average ADC ranges. She gets more value out of Shiv rush, so there goes the waveclear. For multiple threats, there's teamcomps, or even just the fact that she has a support. In dange of enemy abilities: yes. That's all. A Malph ult, a Xin dash, a Veigar stun can kill her. But if she saves her E, she can push aay the first two. Very low base AD with normal scaling, you don't notice it pas lvl 8.

Sigh. Obviously, after he landed. I'm saying a Veigar kills you even if you push him away.

Sure, she has 550 range. But unlike just about every other adc in the game, she has no influence outside of that range. Hell, even graves has more range on his Q and R. She has no poke at all whatsoever and this is very rare on an adc (I think vayne is the only adc with this limitation).

She gets more from a shiv rush? Not really any more than any other adc does. And shiv allows her to push, but its basically useless in a siege situation. So she is still near useless when her team is getting pushed in and has a hard time getting in to hit a tower when on the offense.

Yea, we have to talk teamcomps. But if you see an enemy vayne and you pick mundo, garen, chogath you deserve to lose the game. Vayne is a hyper carry and part of the game is choosing champions that will help you win. So when they pick Vayne, you need to make smart champion choices against that.

If malph is hitting Vayne with an ultimate and isn't dead by the time she hits the ground, your team REALLY messed up. Like I keep saying, shes a hypercarry with low range. You team should be bumrushing her and killing her before she gets off a single silverbolts proc. Because of her range, your team should be able to follow up. If they don't, thats not a problem of Vayne being too strong, its a matter of your team not executing teamfights properly. I used malphite ultimate here, but this is true of any initiation that is used on Vayne.

How exactly does she push back 2 people? I'm having a lot of trouble understanding that one. Do you actually know Vayne's kit?

Lanes are being decided long before level 8, especially this season. If your bot lane hasn't won or at least amassed some sort of advantage by that point in the lane, then they essentially screwed up. If you don't shut down the late game scaling champions early, you are going to lose the game. That's just how the game works.

It's a joke guys...

But it's already taken sooo...

avoid walls, stay more than 1000 units from any wall remember to always be able to see invisible targets buy the kind of armor that protects against true damage and %HP damage

In all seriousness: they should remove her stun when you hit a wall, she really doesn't need it

Flyer Beast1 votes

no kind of armor protects against true damage, and %HP damage gets reduced less. but yeah, avoid walls as much as you can.

charcharmunro1 votes

Attack speed slows. Blow her up because she's basically the squishiest champion in the game. Don't stand near walls. Ta-da.

BluePolarizer1 votes

Ezreal is the squishiest.

Play Lucian and bully her out early, get up in her face early in the game when you are strong and she is weak.
