No wall of text, huh? Alright, I'll keep this one short and sweet:

Wow, mature.

Though if you don't mind, I will now respond to the guy who actually did contribute in a constructive manner.

@Busecatu: You make some good points, and yeah, BotRK is honestly a little OP as an item. It's not as bad as it was now that it's lifesteal has been nerfed, especially relative to BT, but still. It's at the very least strong, and arguably, as you say, OP.

With that said, I still think Vayne's scaling is problematic for the reasons I listed. The problem's become a lot more noticeable now that BotRK is in the game in its current form, but I really do think that Silver Bolts exorbitant synergy with AS makes her difficult to balance, particularly in a healthy way (for instance, a champion being balanced by offsetting an overwhelming late game with a borderline unviable early game is not healthy, even though it is balanced). Maybe not impossible, granted, but difficult, because her power curve doesn't ramp up relatively smoothly over the course of several items, but spikes heavily after just one or two. Sure, a lot of champions experience spikes after certain items, but I'd say that few are as extreme as Vayne after her AS buys. Where BotRK features into that is not by being so much better for her damage than any other item (it is arguably the best single damage item on her, but not by such a great margin compared with other AS items), but by giving her lifesteal as the same time as all that damage, thus exacerbating the problem.
