BUT VAYNES BROKEN AND OVERPOWERED!! NERF HER NERF HERR- consumed by hatred

ChaoticPinecone16 votes

saying she is #23 in best winrate of master is a bit misleading.

She has 800 games played in Korean master for the past month, the highest of any champion, and maintains a 59% winrate. Thats opposed to the other champions that that take the best winrates - champs like Pantheon, Trundle, and Leona, who have only 5 games played.

She drops off again in challenger though. Think you can safely write that 59% off as an outlier and be done with it.

oh - my bad. The number of games i listed were from Challenger, where she currently enjoys a 57% win rate. Here are her current KR stats:

Challenger - 801 games played (#1 pick overall), 57.05% winrate Master - 4,129 (#1), 57.45% winrate Diamond - 188,888 (#1), 52.98% winrate Platinum - 638, 236 (#1), 52.03% winrate Gold - 1,097,183 (#1), 52.31% winrate Silver - 1,801,866 (#1), 51.59% winrate Bronze - 713, 509 (#1), 50.37% winrate

So yes, the OP's original numbers were incorrect. But this brought something to my attention - the highest picked champion has around 4,457,934 plays, 33% higher than the next highest played champion (Thresh at 3,300,220). Vayne also enjoys being the highest picked champion in every tier, and maintains above a 50% winrate at every tier.

Just out of curiosity, in NA, she has the highest pickrate overall (very close to Thresh), at least top 3 in all tiers, and has a over a 50% winrate. in EUW, she is second highest (trailing just behind Thresh), over 50% winrate. In EUNE, she is highest (by a fair margin), over 50% winrate. Thresh, the next most popular champion, has lower than a 50% winrate in all regions.

Yes, her winrate tends to go up as she is played by higher ranked individuals, meaning she is mechanically difficult. But when she has over a 50% winrate in Bronze, how difficult can she be? EDIT - this can be seen with Thresh. Thresh's winrate in lower tiers tends to be lower than 50%, but once he is played in Diamond/Master/Challenger (depending on the region), he jumps to a 55%+ winrate. This shows that Thresh is a more difficult than Vayne to do well.

To sum it up **Theres a problem when one champion, across all regions, ranks, and tiers, is the #1 contested pick, and maintains over a 50% winrate **

Well, CertainlyT designed Thresh to have absolutely everything a support would need, except for a heal, so him being a contested pick is not strange.

To be entirely fair, her winrates are above 50% at every single level of play, which might be indicative of her being too reliably powerful compared to other ADCs. A 59% winrate in Master (one of the highest levels of play) tier, coupled with the fact that she has the single most amount of played games out of the top 20 champions is alarming. Perhaps she needs a power-shift, rather than a nerf, so her strengths and weaknesses are a bit more defined.

I'm biased against Riven so I won't comment.

Gorgannan1 votes

Mostly it's indicative of the fact that no one below diamond knows how to close out games quickly. Down here in low gold, the games could literally last forever if the teamfights happened just right.

Ultîma1 votes

Yeah, I'm sure that people who are in the top 5% of League players - some who are pro-players even - don't know how to close out games quickly. Right?

What an inane and trite statement.

Gorgannan1 votes

Oh I"m sorry, I meant to say below diamond.

Point still stands.

Uh, no we don't. Who in NA thinks Riven and Vayne are balanced? Sounds like you are just angry and wanting to be one of those "NA is bad" people just because.

I know a lot more people that can't stand Riven and Vayne than anyone that defends them at all. I have a friend I play with that mostly plays Vayne and even HE thinks Vayne is too strong, and is why he plays so much Vayne.

Likely, but the funny thing is just that even people I know that play Riven and Vayne still think Riven and Vayne are unbalanced. It is just a silly claim is all and just sounds like the OP is really angry about something and throwing around random numbers and names to prove a point lol

Saianna4 votes

angry or not sillo or whatever

We all know that Riven and Vayne are something that Riot should have adressed years ago, but cause of LCS it'll most likely end up as them being buffed.

Riven is very rarely used in the LCS.

Be a little less stupid.

Oh sorry sorry.

She's still Riot's one of fav kids. Can't deny it.

I don't think they are balanced, I just don't agree they are broken and impossible to deal with.

Whenever I try to explain beating them I get the sense they ignore that part and rather downvote me.

Not Katarina3 votes

Because why listen to common sense when you can mindlessly whine until something is nerfed? Welcome to G&B.

Not Katarina7 votes

No sources. And according to RespectPlus

youre lying... http://www.op.gg/statistics/champion/ <--- korean statistics vayne stats: all elo: 51% bronze: 50% silver: 51% gold: 52% plat: 52% dia: 53% master: 59% (note: she's 23th best winrate of master) challenger: 53%

you didn't include sources because you were lying. Please cite where you get your information from. G&B isn't for mindless hatred. Downvoted.

The stats you showed were from MASTER's only. And Riven's winrate is 54% in masters. Only Vayne's hits 60% there. (See: attachment, masterriven)

Riven hits her peak in Challenger, at 57%. But she is around the 20th most played, and doesn't see as much play as Vayne, Lee Sin, Thresh, etcccc.. she's so far down I can't catch her in the screenshot. see attachment in comments!

Flat out winrate is not as important as PLAYERBASE & Winrate. i.e Vayne is picked 51% of the time (If you see a Vayne in every game then that translates to how often she wins or loses). Riven is picked 14% of the time.

Being picked into select comps and/or having a dedicated playerbase vs all around good choice is why Vayne is seeing Riot's attention and Riven is not. Is Vayne broken? No. Sadly the meta favours her so G&B will not rest easy.

Personally I think the underlying issue is BOTRK, not Vayne. And as far as Riven is concerned? Not even.

The gyazo links are not working for me, by the way.

But thank you for being the person to call someone out for calling something out.

Not Katarina1 votes

Oh! Thank you for letting me know. I'll swap them out for attachments if I can.

EDIT: Swapped!

Ashii2 votes

On the other hand, nerfing Vayne/BotRK would just end up making jinx/sivir winrates skyrocket (again). The issue is systemic within the marksman role.

Thanks for a levelheaded and clear response to the OP, I'm pretty sure you said all that really needed to be said.

Not Katarina1 votes

Thank you very much! And yes. I hope with the ADC item rework we can get a healthy balance of items that keeps Vayne and BOTRK users as well as Jinx/Sivir (IE prioritizing) adc's equally viable.

ElJanitorFrank2 votes

Right, because the "Nerf Vayne she's OP" which is pretty much every single board on the topic aren't saying it because they think she's overpowered, they're saying it just because they think she's annoying.

This is you simply bashing NA because you can, with no basis to the bashing in the first place.

ElJanitorFrank1 votes

Right, and I 110% guarantee you'll see those same posts on the Korean forums.

Having a very small amount of people say something doesn't mean that the entire server is at fault, and ONLY people within that server think that way.

MohawkBird1 votes

ElJanitorFrank1 votes

And I am saying that the people saying they are 'frustrating' as opposed to broken are a small amount of people on the boards.

That isn't hypocritical at all and falls completely in line with my entire point thus far.

Their win rates mean that the people who main them over there most likely know how to impact a game. I had a Riven top who was 1/3 but she tp'd bot whenever she could and snowballed our Cait and we won. Doesn't mean the champ themselves is "OP broken gg riot nerf pls"

You do realize theyre the most picked champions for their role and in Vayne's case the entire game.

Gorgannan1 votes

People never consider all the factors. They assume high pick rate means everyone plays them and still manages to win. Does no one consider that her large playerbase plays more Vayne games than any other champion main-base, leading to a higher pick rate and STILL justifying the winrate?

is this korea high elo only or also counting bronze-plat?

Korea bronze = NA master tier.

Not Katarina2 votes

There's a post above you that shows where they are. Master is the only point in which Vayne/Riven reach 60% winrate. Anything below or above is around 50-54.

i played an olaf game i had 400 armour and 4k health vayne killed me with 6 autos and didnt even have lw

Gorgannan1 votes

Sounds like a lie. 10% hp + 50, 4k hp. That's 900 damage with bolts, which means she did 3.1k damage in 6 autos.

that's slightly more than 500 damage per auto.

Now Idk how much 400 armor does, but I can't imagine that after getting a 100% crit chance, she'd have enough AD to punch through 400 armor to take out 3.1k hp in 6 autos.

wtf numbnuts I've been saying vayne was op since release. that much peel belongs on things like asphalt and bananas, not ranged adc's. see: kalista.
