Still never seen Vi doing real ton of damage due to Denting Blows. Whatever players build, it's not her most important move.

Comical blog, wow, much laugh, funny 4 real. You just went hard here only due to in fact not really impacting nerf.

I didn't certainly said that Silver Bolts got nerfed (If they ever got? Can't remember). It's about Vayne as whole.

You know what is the problem about Kog?

Denting Blows do scale with attack damage, but i said it already - really never seen Vi doing real damage because of this.

Silver Bolts do not scale with AP nor AD (luckily).

But Bio-Arcane Barrage scales with AP. Not a painful scaling, but building some AP even on ADC Kog is never wasted. Koggy also gains some sniping range, which Vayne or Vi just don't have. Kog just snipes out enemies from far distance. If it's not enough, then realize that he's also able to reduce someone's MR (and armor btw) by flat amount. And main difference - Kog does additional damage on every hit as long as Barrage works. And the fight ain't gonna last longer than 8 seconds. Not with Kog.

And there's always AP Kog. Hitting you for +12% of your maximum health per hit. With still good attack speed and other abilities still doing harsh damage. However this kind of nerf wouldn't really reduce AP Kitten eater's strength.

Very oftenly missed fact - An ability can be nerfed not only because of its own power, but for example, due to ridiculous synergy with an item/another ability/etc.
