Her range is really short, which makes her a lot less forgiving to play. Positioning has to be really good throughout the game. She's got a weak early game, if someone picks Vayne just play MF it's her worst matchup statistically (or at least it has been for a while, i don't know since the nerfs to MF). She can't deal with her poke.

And she DOES have a weak early game. Her range makes her easy to bully, and she doesn't have enough damage alone to do much of anything. She needs a good player behind her because, again, she is not forgiving to play if you're messing up, and she needs a good support.

She's got a really high skill ceiling. In good hands, yes, Vayne can shit on people, but she has strong counters and if you bully her early and don't let her scale you can just end before she ever gets enough items to be relavent.

And being able to scale even with a weak lane isn't exclusive to vayne. All the crit champs do it. Like Jinx, Trist or Sivir give her a long enough game and she'll kill everything anyway.

She has strengths that are infuriating if you're against a half decent Vayne, yes, but that's true for every high risk high reward champion.
