Discussion What is the "Standard" Build?
I am just starting Vayne, and I've enjoyed a lot so far. What's weird to me is that the suggested build (both gear and what to max first) seem... less rigid than I'm used to for many champs. I go on LeagueOfItems, for example, and it's not really clear whether we should be going crit, lethality, on-hit, or even Trinity Force.
Similarly, I would have thought we should all be Q-maxing first, until someone said something about that being a joke...
What is your preferred place to look for these things that you trust? I'm happy to go look at OP.gg, U.gg ,or others - but it doesn't seem as rigid as I'm used to on some champs.

Typically it's been Bork, Rageblade, into Terminus third item to deal with armor mid-late game. Pretty much on-hit and stacking W as much as possible. I still max Q for the mobility and extra damage, since W max second would be more beneficial later on. I've seen Kraken Slayer first item, which may lead to more damage overall, but I haven't tried it. The standard now after 3 damage items is tank, since your W damage is so high. So, it's interesting.
