By the way, the '36 hits' spec that's being thrown around is being calculated on just true damage. Basically saying it would take 12 procs of Silver Bolts (12 x 3 = 36) (12 x 8% Max HP in damage = 96% of your HP in true damage, we'll assume we dealt 4% at least in physical in that time, which is an understatment on how much she will probably be dealing) to kill a tank with her true damage componet. In my opinion, it isn't feasible for an enemy Vayne to have time like that to focus your tank during a team fight (It would literally take 12-15+ seconds of uninterupted focus fire), or to be focusing the enemy tank over the DPS in the first place. The amount of physical damage alone a ranged DPS carry should have would far outweigh the DPS she'll be dealing to tanks, even though the % true damage would be significantly higher on the tank than the DPS. So therefore in my oppinion, it doesn't make 'tank-hunting' a viable strategy for Vayne. Although, she will be better tailored to dropping the tank if your team already cleaned up on the DPS.

Second point, if your tank even allows Vayne to just persist focus fire upon him. They're not that great of a tank, it's their job to recognize the threats within the enemy team. You're going to tell me a good Amumu couldn't Bandage Toss and own her? (with the backup of his team, of course) A decent Alistar couldn't find her with a Headbutt -> Pulverize?.. A Shen couldn't hit her with his taunt and hold her for his DPS?.. And/Or a Rammus couldn't taunt her?
