So I was doing a game VS vayne. She is kinda like where she can scale off ability's rather then items so with this, even if she doesn't get fed she can do tons of damage. not to mention said ability scaling applies true damage lifesteal. so with 13% lifesteal with 12% max HP damage she is kinda set to 1 shot squishy's with her crit and stuff then out sustain tanks as the more HP they have=more lifesteal and the more resist's they have doesn't matter as it's true damage,not to mention you can lose focus of her when she ult's with her 2 second CD invisibility. Yet I see everyone say vayne is horrible right now. So guess I am also asking you why is that

Generally, Bronze players are rather poor at denying opponents, controlling minion waves and ending games.

This means that they don't really stop Vayne from free-farming and the games draw on long enough for her to scale.

Lifesteal only applies to physical damage. It doesnt have interactions with true damage

Even tho she does have damage on her bolts she is still highly dependant on items for attack speed. She is horrible due to her weak laning phase(basically unless Vayne player is far better than opponent he will lose laning phase , get oucsed and fall behind). She has short range, no waveclear at all and skill required to play her compared to reward just isnt worth. If u have mechanics you are better off playing Draven and other hypercarries like Kogmaw, Twitch, Jinx, Tristana...offer way more to their team.

Ya see, no one likes playing against vayne especially if she's decent at the champion. Sometimes you see her in toplane and she very easily bullies most toplaners because of her range, mobility, CC and her passive. I imagine that's why most people would ban her. Honestly, Vayne top is awful to play against unless you're someone with a really good initiation with extra mobility to back it up. Generally when it comes to ADC's though there's more reliable picks but that doesn't mean vayne can't perform well.

However banning ADC's isn't exactly the best use of your ban due to how diverse ADC role is how ADC's don't really act as counters to each other as opposed to supports. Vayne doesn't fit specific team comps and it's not something you would use to counterpick a specific champion especially in a meta where draven and caitlynn are very strong. Vayne's short range makes her vulnerable to any kind of lane bully or high damage lane, point and click CC utterly decimates Vayne's abilities to make plays.
