^ Her mid game isn't nearly as bad as you suggest. Maxed W with just a Botrk + Zeal by lvl 9 ensures she'll be doing a lot of damage to the frontline regardless if she's fed and has other items or not. The biggest issue is actually her lvls 2-5 where champions like Cait, Thresh, Karma, Jinx, Lucian, etc. will abuse their advantage due to the fact that they're both strong carries AND casters. Vayne doesn't really do damage with abilities, she needs to be autoattacking constantly at a 550 range to chunk her targets, while pratically everyone else who's played in bot lane can both farm and harass with abilities at a superior range. Those levels are the critical ones in Vayne's game. If you manage to keep up in farm and not die in the process you'll start outscaling the enemy carry hard and mid game will be a breeze.
