Well im trying to find a good champ for top lane that takes a lot of technical skill. so i thought that vayne may be a good choice. ive seen her top a little recently so i gave her a shot. what do you guys think is she viable when mastered?
The play styles aren't very different. Vayne lacks a good escape and relies on good use of her e to create distance. (Using it defensively) Top lane Vayne is a bit more forgiving in he sense that most top laners are melees that will need to "go in" for their damage. she's definitely viable versus less bruiser oriented picks such as Nidalee and Nasus. Avoid picking her into tanks with hard CC or a hard engage. Malphite or Irelia are laners you want to avoid. Passive laners that rely on farming are good opponents.
As for mastering her, it takes some practice. Vayne is a really flexible carry that has opportunity to outplay but is still squishy and has one of the shorter attack ranges.
A few Pros and cons...
Pros: Good damage vs tanks with W Scales into later game along with tanks which means easier laning. very mobile compared to most top laners. Q Attack damage steroid for engages/ outplaying Late game monster
Cons: Squishy Requires good mechanics and game knowledge to avoid being locked up. Weak early - susceptible to ganks No hard, reliable disengage.
Finally my verdict. With good practice, Vayne top can be viable.
Pretty much anything is "viable" up to... I dunno, plat, maybe? Player skill matters a lot more than something being "meta".
Vayne was always a pretty good top laner, but she's fairly weak early in the match. Once she gets a BOTRK+Triforce+her ult she's almost impossible to duel.
Depends on the matchup. Vayne would get wrecked by mage bullies like Vlad or ryze but shed destroy most tanks.

Top lane vayne requires that you either cs extremely well or snowball the lane. The main reason why Quinn is the most viable top lane ADC is because she has both high dueling potential and mobility from her ult. With vayne, you have to be able to outplay the enemy and pick fights that you can win(mainly 1v1s). With vayne, her only form of CC is her E so if you screw up your condemn, usually you get destroyed by most bruisers if they can gap close to you. When you pick an ADC top lane, you have to be able to do well in your lane because your team has 1 less tank on your team. I recommend learning quinn over vayne if you really want to play an ADC top.
