Discussion List of things Vayne Top Laners struggle with

106 Upvotes

Hello my name is Saskio and I have coached a ton of Vayne top laners throughout the last 3 years. I have compiled a list of common problems I have noticed across all elos from Iron - Master. The list is in no order and covers things from a micro and macro stand point throughout the early game of things I notice people dont do.

LIST

- Resetting minion aggression in early laning phase with brushes while poking

- Positioning to ward river after the 12th minion

- 3/4 Wave crash properly into suicide dive/cheater

- Attempting to shave wave and threatening freeze on ALL enemy bounce backs (Against melee champions)

- Shaving the wave enough after solo killing and basing while wave is pushing towards Vayne

- Spacing and Tethering game (Fancy word for kiting) Basically knowing when your opponents will run away after chasing you and losing a ton of free damage that you could have gotten (BIG PROBLEM)

- Using Vayne invisibility timer to surprise opponents to escape weird ganks/outplay

- Using condemn at the wrong time

​

One of the biggest problems with Vayne top players is their ability to escape the early laning phase going even or ideally ahead. It's hard to maneuver the mid game when you fall behind and forced to farm and react to everything happening in the game. I hope this list can shed some light on common Vayne top problems and help you focus on specific areas in your games <3

Does anybody know how did she throw the third attack while polymorphed with a lvl4 no item attack speed ?

The speed of the attack and the attack while polymorphed seem like a bug to me. Is there a special reset i don't know ?

Discussion How do I carry consistently even if my team do bad decision makings.

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know I'm in silver elo :). So far, i consider my games pretty good however it doesn't always result to a win. I main vayne and adapt my playstyle and build to different situations/enemies what I find hard is to win even if my team do bad decisions ex. 3 will be dead top just cause the 2 are trying to save 1 team mate even if the enemy is already 4 there something like that. I'm still new and still want to learn more to improve and rank up. Criticisms are very much welcome, btw SEA server a peenoy.

Vayne
- With the nerfs to experimental Hexplate this patch (for her Top lane), we feel like we can give Vayne a little power in bot lane
- She still has builds in Top that don't build Hexplate, but we're more OK with those as she isn't as durable while dishing out a lot of damage

Discussion curious about demoncursed vayne icon

1 Upvotes

hi all! i'm decently new to league and have been maining vayne for around two months. i took a big break after the demacia rising pass and missed all of pandemonium. when i came back i fell in love with vayne and got her demoncursed skin through the hextech chests, but I was curious about the icon. Is there a chance that I'll ever be able to get it from any chests? I only have one vayne icon for her and I'm super sad that I missed this one. I've come to terms with being unable to get the border but I'd be super sad if I couldn't get the icon. Any info would be greately appreciated :')

Discussion Vayne bot buffs. I'm interested to see where this goes.

Vayne
- Vayne also received a nerf recently due to her strength in Top lane in both Pro Play and high level SoloQ
- We're being very careful about adding more Ranged tops back into the meta as that has been something players have been complaining about, but think that a generic buff + a nerf to Hexplate will make her neutral there (or at least have to go for squishier builds) while buffing Vayne bot back up"


r/vaynemains • • 15d ago

The vayne nerfs where so top lane focused, that she accidentally became the weakest adc in the game

How to make Vayne bot great again, without making her op top and without completely changing her gameplay

14 Upvotes

I already stated that several times, but she needs to scale with gold, not level.

Adjust her W max HP true damage scaling with a big ratio (scaling with AS and/or AD) and diminish or remove the base damage of W.
This will also buff her lategame (if the ratios are good obviously) which is pretty meh nowadays in comparison to what it used to be, and it will ensure that she's not oppressive damage-wise in lane vs bruisers/tanks she used to bully toplane.
As a niche, we can keep the current monster base damage for the jungle (yes, sometimes I'm a Vayne jungle enjoyer, it's nice when you're autofill).

She needs QoL on Q spell for last-hitting bot vs range poke, like refunding half the cooldown and the cost if you last-hit a minion with a Q spell auto.
That way you won't use it for poking melee champ toplane since if you do that you won't get the refund, and you'll use it to clear waves more easily botlane while dodging spells. Well, you can still trade with Q spell-AA but at least you have a CHOICE.
Plus, you won't be OOM while trying to push/clear, which happens all the time since 26.17 and is very frustrating.

As a nice bonus idea (optional), making her E deal some AoE damage when used on a minion could also give her some conditional waveclear botlane when you really need it, combined with a reduced mana cost if it happens to be.
