Why is vayne dealt with so carefully, and well when she needs to be nerfed, but champions like kog

Get a half revert, mushed into the ground and never remembered about.

To people who don't know what I'm talking about,

Riot decided to revert the buffs they gave vayne 0.7->0.5 Ad ratio at max rank,

But they did a half ass revert on kog'maw and left him flapping around like a magikarp.

Vayne is still a subpar ADC because her range is too short and she has no poke. Many better ADCs including Jhin, Cait, Luc, Ezreal, and Ashe.

On serious note though, Kog was reverted because he legit just right clicked once and everyone around his target died in a few seconds before they could react, and all that with 0 skill required, so his rework failed completely. Vayne (outside of her current super broken crit state) actually takes quite a decent amount of skill to play. Though I still think Vayne should just have her Q crit removed entirely.

they once nerfed her tumble cd and regretted it all day long because it turns out her tumble and her attack speed had some mathtastic connection to one another which was when they started using the word "psuedoattack speed" as far as I can tell

because a small nerf to vayne destroys vayne

a small nerf to kog does nothing

an overbuffed vayne makes #BIGLCSPLAYS but is still more or less balanced

an overbuffed kogmaw 1v1's towers and goes undefeated in world's tournaments in boring as shit games where nothing happens for hours because the damn kogmaw can stall the game out into oblivion

Machine Gun Kog was never picked in LCS. The patch finals was on still had Machine Gun Kog in it and they totally ignored him because he could be easily countered by disengage. Riot said as much in the topic where they were talking about the revert. He was amazing in Dynamic Que and terrible at the LCS level.

It would seem you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to Kog.

machine gun kog was POST-NERF kog

Maybe he wasn't picked in LCS, I'm explaining the big picture and referring to much further back than you to describe a pattern in the balancing tactics of a game company.
