Thoughts on how Arclight Vayne misses the emotional high of playing Vayne, from a 5k game main

I am one of the most committed Vayne mains in the world. I have had about 3000 games on her in each of the last couple of years, reaching Diamond last year. I have like 130 ping and a lot of packet loss here on the east coast, so I think that is an accomplishment.

For me, and likely many other Vayne mains, a lot of the emotional high that attracts us to our champ comes from her sound effects.

Vayne is a loud and violent champion. Her autos thump and zing. Her ult makes a thunderstrike. Tumble is sharp and violent, and Silver Bolts are sharp and metallic.

This is true on all skins except Arclight Vayne. On AL Vayne, all of her sound effects are softened slightly, and sounded decidedly un-Vaynelike. I can't decide if I like the skin because of this... The splash is FANTASTIC, and the in game model is good, but the sound effects bring me no excitement. :/ She just doesn't sound like she's going to hurt anyone, as the righteous fury of Arclight Vayne should!

Just one mans opinion. Thought I'd share for Rito.

I thought the high came from buying BotrK and PD and then smoking a joint with one hand while right clicking with the other
