Terrible Early game?? Lets do a few comparisons here:

Vayne has cmparitively to other ADCs:

- One of the highest AD per level gains. Only Kalista matches her and Draven beats her at 3.5

- One of the highest base AD stats among ADCs. The only one higher is Graves

-The highest AS per level growth in the game. The only champion that matches her is Caitlyn, who starts at a lower base AS than Vayne does.

-Essentially 360 base MS at all times during laning. Her base MS already beats a good chunk of ADCs but this is more a moot point.

-The same range as pretty much every other ADC excluding Ashe and Caitlyn. People REALLY can't use the "short range" argument when she's had the same range as everyone else and outranges one of her "counters", Graves.

So her only real downfalls in early game laning are:

-Low armor (one of the lowest) to start

-One of the lowest hp pools to start as an ADC (ezreal is lower)

Vayne can essentially trade a Q at any point in the laning phase, and once she starts getting AS she can trade full w procs pretty fast without trying too hard. When you add this with her great late game she's a bit strong.

The ones with bad early games right now from an ADC standpoint are ones like Kog'Maw and Ezreal. It's why both of those champs are more mid laners than they are bot laners these days.
