I'm talking about patch 5.22 Vayne ( )

Why does the SS + RFC stacking effect synergive with her so much better than say or ?

Any other ADC going for that build will lose out on DPS because they're overloaded on crit and attack speed compared to AD. Attack speed, crit and AD all work synergestically, meaning that the more you have of one the stronger the others become, and you get more DPS by purchasing the ones you have the least of than you do by purchasing the ones you have more of. Vayne's W and the AD steroid on her ult both alter her formula in favor of attack speed, allowing her to effectively rush it while ignoring the early AD purchases that other AD carries are forced into.

The AD steroid on her ultimate and her W passive let her damage stay relevant even if she only build Attack Speed and Crit Chance.

Because of her W, if any other adc built that, they would've lacked damage, but since vayne synergizes so well with attack speed and her W is he main damage, and her ult grants AD, she could abuse it.

Because of her true damage.

Come the next patch, Guinsoo's will get sated devourer's old "activate on hit effects every other strike" effect for only 3650 gold, meaning Vayne proc's the silver bullets 3 hit passive every 2 hits instead, meaning she will be unkillable if she builds that and a PD.

Can't they just remove Guinsoo's?

3650 is not cheap, like, at all.

Sure it isn't. But you'll definitely be getting your "sated devourer" before 20 minutes that's for sure
