Well first of all, I have no idea where all this Vayne QQ came from out of the blue. Seemed like everyone needed a new adc to hate after Draven and Vayne was a good target. She is a walking death machine. That's what adcs are when they get their items. They give out high, sustained damage through crits and attack speed. Vayne does not require more than one person to kill. In fact, she is incredibly squishy and one good assassin or a good CC will probably be more than enough to take her down. She cannot be poked because she has equal or more range than a wide variety of adcs. Well first, I would like to point you to the existence of Varus and Caitlyn, both of whom have higher attack range and long range poke skills. Varus is in fact, on par with Vayne in terms of late game damage. But barring those, let's take a look at some of those adcs you mentioned (barring hypercarries, as those fall into the same class as Vayne). MF's main poke skill, her Q, has a deceptively long range because of the bounce. If it hits Vayne, it's going to hit for a ton of damage. Vayne's main poke skill will be Tumble, which means an enemy adc can hit her as well as she will be in attack range. Draven in particular will do far more damage with one axe than from Tumble. Ezreal has his Q. Graves has a lot of poke from Q and Vayne will most likely be not be able to react. Vayne is easy to harass because she cannot stay at a safe distance to poke. She risks getting zoned or getting harassed while farming. Tumble requires you to hit something to refresh it's CD. If you're tumbling away from an opponent, you probably aren't going to attack immediately after. Condemn is incredibly hard to use as a stun and it can only knock away one target. Silver Bolts I feel is misleading. A lot of the damage comes from Vayne's AD and not the proc. You have to remember it's only 60 base+8% of the enemy's max health. That means you would need to proc it 13 times to get rid of all the enemy's health just using Silver Bolts. A lot of the damage is coming from Vayne's AD, like the adc she's supposed to be. If you're complaining about her stealth, then why don't you complain about Twitch? He can stand back far away from a fight firing away, while being able to stealth for a much longer period than Vayne can. Vayne has incredibly good synergy with BotRK as well, that I agree with. I do agree BotRK is a bit much, but that's not Vayne's fault. In all honesty, I think BotRK is pretty overpowered right now. But there's one core problem here. You complain about Vayne, explaining why you think she's overpowered, but you don't propose any solution. You just go on and on about how this makes her OP, and that makes her OP, but you don't suggest any improvement. If you're going to QQ about someone, suggest how they could be made better so they aren't a problem. Vayne is an adc in the end. Incredibly squishy, very vulnerable to CC and assassins, dependent on their team; Vayne especially so; but pumping out great sustained damage, especially late game. Vayne sacrifices some early game power to become a late game god. I do agree her mid game is a bit too good, but I don't think Vayne is the problem. I think it's the BotRK which I have already mentioned to be overpowered. I don't see any reason for Vayne to be nerfed at the moment.
