You know, I don't mind how well she scales with AS, her massive steroid on R, and her %hp true damage procs on W, since I've come to accept those in her kit for her role as a hyper carry.

She also has the qualities of an assassin, with stealth, and mobility through her passive and her Q, which allows her to quickly escape/chase if need be, and allows her to clean up during teamfights, as how she was designed. And I've been playing since Nocturne patch, so I've had my fair share of playing with/against Vayne.

But even after all these years, she has a ranged, point-and-click knockback that can also be a situational stun, and also applies her health-shredding passive. If there's anything in this kit that annoys me, it would be her E.

An assassin/carry with instant, reliable, hard CC on a basic ability just sounds like it completely goes against Riot's balance design. The CC is about 0.5s for the duration of the knockback, going up to about 2s if the stun is applied.

That ability is probably the most overloaded thing about her kit. Honestly, I can't believe her kit has been maintained since her release, bar a couple of nerfs that usually arrive following a champion's release. (and even then, she got a couple of minor buffs.)
