So the new Vayne story paints her as much more of a corrupted hero

She seems to still hunt monsters, but she also seems to be going mad. It's like the thrill of the hunt is taking over her. She's making unnecessary grandiose, being unnecessarily cruel, murdering her own teacher who was benevolent to her and trusted her.

I think she's very close to going off the deep end, and it gives me a very Bloodborne-esque Gascoigne vibe from her. I quite like it, the fact that not everybody from Demacia has to be good.

It's almost like the lore is adapting to the typical Vayne player cliché.

Yes and I love it.

I'm not sure I necessarily like it, though. The Vayne I know doesn't make mistakes or stupid decisions or flashy moves. She did what she had to do, to get the job done. Nothing escape her. She was never... Happy. But now she's having fun and making flashy plays? Ehh. Idk about this new Vayne.

I know, right. I made a thread about it.

Eh, this seems like a younger Vayne.

I can easily see her becoming your Vayne when she gets older.

Old Vayne never did much outside of her judgment though.

I like it a lot. Before Vayne was Batman. That was about it.

New Lore definitely adds a bit of a curve to her that wasn't there before, she's not wiping out dark magic just because it's evil, it seems like part of her thinks it's fun. She's gone pretty far off the deep end, and I remember an old topic on the original Lore forums asking if Vayne would hurt Amumu, since he's pretty innocent, just accidentally wielding some dangerous powers.

I think the answer's a pretty clear "Yep." now.

Vayne is a fucked up bitch. SHe doesn't give a fuck about killing monsters to protect others, for shits n giggles. She is more of a monster than a lot of them. Her killing Frey and the widow Shapeshifter was the last straw.

Vayne is officially Neutral Evil thinking she is chaotic good.

I'd argue chaotic neutral, veering to Neutral Evil.

Think, as I said before, Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne

"Much more of a corrupted hero"? You mean you didn't think she was a corrupted hero?

I thought she was, but it's presented clearer now and less vague. Prior you could argue she was either a vigilante or an antihero Now she's definitely on the darker end of it

Well she's not a hero. She's just trying to find the one who killed her parents. Until then, any body she deems an enemy is filling that hatred.....just fo the moment

WinTheWarOnPantsMar 23, 20172 votes

I this new lore she's far beyond "just trying to find the one who killed her parents". She kills now because she enjoys it.

I like it and i don't at the same time. I like it becuase i really like the "vayne" in the story, but i don't like it becuase it's not vayne. First off i'm not a vayne player(i kinda was for a little bit) and i only glimpsed at her old lore. With that said i never thought of vayne as bloodthirsty like she is in this lore. She is honestly WAY too close to Evelynn . Vayne was pretty much batman. She is obsessively driven to fight the "darkness", she is cold/brooding, but she is not bloodthirsty. She feels it's her duty to fight evil, but she wouldn't murder someone. If she was in a situation where she could either kill the monster or save an innocent, I always thought she would chose the latter "vayne always chooses the latter"(this poor writing made me cringe lol). Of course this new vayne would not only not try to save the innocent, but would kill them herself if she had any reason too.

But, i mean this is riot's lore team after all. Poor writing and changing characters personalities for no reason is what they do.

Vayne was always this bloodthirsty In her old league judgment she gunned down an old lady who she THOUGHT was a witch despite her committing no apparent crime (that we were witness too), and then plotted to assassinate the summoners of the League of Legends because she suspected them of being corrupt due to them summoning all of the evil champions to the rift.

It's just now her moral alignment is learning far more to the darker side instead of "I do what I think is good"

The league judgements were way before my time, but good to know.

But Vayne is "Good" in her eyes and spectrum of morality. I don't think Vayne sees any of her kills as acts of evil. That's kind of the point of Demacia a part from Lux where "Good" = "Justice" and what Vayne does is her justice.
