Varus and Vayne should be switched in cost

So i was thinking about this and here is my argument for Making Varus a 1 cost and Vayne a 2 cost

Currently Noble has 3 units at 1 Cost, Garen, Fiora and Vayne Demon has 0 units at 1 cost Vayne and Varus also both share Ranger type

Noble seems super strong very early because of this and makes it so almost everyone is rushing for it asap Demon seems to never be used because it isnt very strong passive for how much investment needs to be done Changing Varus to a 1 cost would give Demon type a way to slowly progress building it at a more reasonable pace on par with other types, making Vayne a 2 cost would make it so noble isnt being abused as hard early but still allow for it to be used at a reasonable pace, this would also keep Ranger in balance with it still having a 1 and a 2 cost.

Doing this would just knock nobles into tier 2. Why would we want less competition in the higher tiers? The fact that most of the complaints on here are about nobles being too strong, just goes to show that people aren't playing enough. Shapeshifters + asol is the undisputed best comp in the game, yet I see no one complaining. My only theory is that people equate flash to power. So if gnar is jumping around and stunning your whole team and looks cool and powerful while doing it, then being powerful is okay. But if vayne is just auto attacking and things are living forever, it's seen as "too easy to build". This may also explain how no one is complaining about cho who has an Asol ult with a knockup, lol.

the problem is demons have really low draw rates, i don't think i have ever seen a golden demon besides varus being played.

Noble isn't abused because of the 1 cost pieces, but cause garen is a bit strong for a 1 cost and the noble buff is insane early on, but drops hard mid-late. Early when most units are still lvl 1 the armor+lifegain grant near immortallity to 1 of a few, later on the fact that it only is granted to 1 is an issue and by the time you get the full 6 noble bonus, damage numbers are so high that it's armor and sustain mean next to nothing.

And the reason demons aren't used is cause it fucks up class synergies, they are all over the place so getting more than 2 demons makes it near impossible to have other synergies. Additionally, they have alot bad individuals. Elise just sucks, varus is fine but the targeting on his skill often is fucked up(do i shoot 1 or 3? i guess i take the 1!) and rangers are not that great unless you have all 4, and even then it's more glacial and phantom synergies that carry them unless you got good dps items. Morgana can be good, but needs lvl 2 to be any reliable, best with some def or mana items aswell. Swain is good, but as a tier 5 you can't plan around him Eve is ok Aatrox needs help, and blademasters only exist to buff draven it feels...
