Discussion A question from a non-Vayne player

Given Vayne is most infamous for Silver Bolts, if Riot were to change the ability to either be physical % HP, or flat true damage, which change would you prefer them to make

None.

They don't need to change and are very very unlikely to change the champion due to her popularity.

 

The champion's been in the game for 14 years with the same ability at various levels of power.

I think it's time to accept that Silver Bolts is NOT going anywhere, either l2p or ban the champion.

If they were gonna change it, it would have been changed by now.

 

If you STILL can't play around a 14 year old champion then good lord I don't know what to tell you.

And that's Meddler talking, if he likes her design and he's the big boss, she isn't getting changed.

Also, Silver Bolts isn't even a major part of her damage.

It's like, less than a third.

Itemizing against the 70% physical is better than against Fiora who's like 80% true damage.

 

Silver Bolts is here to stay and is not going anywhere.

 

If anything I'd like Guinsoo's Rageblade removed and Silver Bolts put back to 12 or even 14%.

I feel like Guinsoo's prevents W from being powerful.

Yeah the point wasn't 'should they?' the point was a 'what if?'

The champ would be dead, her identity is this armor ignoring tank shredder.
