She has a 32.27%

Currently the most played champion right now, just wait a week or two her flavor of the month popularity will die off and we move on to the next champion to scream is overpowered.

She's not going to fall off; her pick rate is at 30%+ for the 5th patch in a row. Her pick rate will not go down unless Riot nerfs her.

Nerf her...you know the last time vayne has recieved a buff? We're talking years. Vayne was not picked in the past professionally due to the fact that her laning was bad enough it wasn't worth risking a lane swap being spotted etc. Now with the exception of Kallista and Corki, adc's are weak enough early game vs an on the whole tankier cinderhulk meta that the risk of vayne getting sh** on prior to hitting an item spike is now finally worth it again.

Vayne got buffed less than a year ago and she just got buffed again last patch.

V4.13: Attack speed per level increased to 4.0 from 3.1. Final Hour Fixed a bug where Tumble had an extra +0.1 attack damage ratio while Final Hour was active (now correctly matches Tumble's AD ratios). Bonus attack damage increased to 30/50/70 from 25/40/55.

V5.14: Tumble Cooldown now begins upon lauching the attack instead of upon hitting a target. Tumble's empowered attack will be consumed even if the target becomes invalid while in-flight. This allows enemies to dodge the effect, but also allows Vayne to activate the ability again.

Her core item item 3153 has also been buffed multiple times in the last year.

V5.10: Ranged increased to 550 from 450.

V5.8: Passive's on-hit effect now benefits from life steal. Passive minimum damage cap increased to 10 from 3.

Not to mention that all of the strong early game adcs have been nerfed directly, indirectly, or both.

Popularity is not a reason to nerf anyone, so until these whiny threads about Vayne start being productive with realistic nerf ideas, it's pointless to keep posting threads about it.

This^ "Please nerf X champ because I see it in every game" WTF! Can you be any less constructive than this?

I personally don't think she should be nerfed. She's annoying and I'm irritated that I have to tailor my picks with the assumption that she'll be on the enemy team if my team doesn't pick her, but I don't think she's unbalanced. She's just annoying to play both with and against because no matter what team she's on, the Vayne just reeks of ego and you can count on the outcome of the game being largely decided by how arrogant and/or stupid that particular Vayne is.

Vayne has become a pick of necessity due to the fact that adc has become the least impactful position. Now are there games when yours or your enemy bot lane crap on the other and become useful at mid game? Of course. That being said the role of adc in mid game has shifted from "about to be strong" to "turret pusher" with the exception of a couple other picks (corki & Kallista come to mind). The trinity 3 item spike on vayne (botrk, pd, lw) allows her to be able to add another dimension to that "HI I'm here to auto attack turrets and objectives" role.

Very rarely do ad's receive buffs that aren't pure qol, and when they are in a strong position i.e. Lucian, they just get nerfed to the point where both NA and EU LCS have struggled to achieve a 10% win rate with him. I don't think adc's need a buff, but I do think allowing them to be more of a factor in the mid game by reducing the cost of items would be nice (especially when the cost of items for mid have been reduced).
