The two ways to counter Vayne, theoretically at least, are attack speed slows and forcing her to switch targets. The former does counter here, the problem is that she's so strong at the moment that at best it only really brings her down to standard ADC levels. The latter is a bit more interesting. It would work... if Vayne didn't have easy mode positioning via her passive and Tumble, on top of any items she gets that aid with it. This is one of the reasons that I maintain that the ideal way to balance Vayne would be to reduce her AA-range. Because of how much mobility she has, it would hardly nerf her into the ground, but it would force her to choose her targets a bit more carefully, as well as making her laning phase genuinely weak, as befits a hyper-carry, as opposed to how it is at the moment where it's never truly bad and it even becomes good the moment she farms up enough to get her BotRK.

Fortunately, I hear Morello at least is starting to think in similar terms, so we can but hope that Vayne soon receives the nerf she frankly deserves. (For the record, I don't hate Vayne, I even rather like her, but seriously guys, she's too strong right now.)
