About Me

Hello everyone and thanks for reading my Vayne guide! My name is TheCoCoFTW but I prefer KeeKo. I am a Gold 4 Mastery 7 Vayne with over 150k Mastery points. I have been playing League since Season 4 when a few friends introduced me. I have since taken a liking to being an ADC and went from Silver 5 to Gold 3 in 3 months of switching. I usually stream, so feel free to check it out! Stream Link
If you stop by, don't be shy and introduce yourself and give some input on my guide. It is my first guide and I am open to any criticism. Thank you and have a great day!

Pros / Cons

PROS

+ High Damage
+ Can 1v9
+ Very mobile
+ Best late game
+ Obliterates Tanks

Vayne is the best late game ADC. She is able to melt anyone in a few hits. She can shred tanks like no tomorrow. Especially with the and true damage. Her makes her mobile on top of her passive movement speed towards champions. In any given teamfight you have the ability to output so much DPS in a short period time if you are able to avoid hard cc.

CONS

- High Skill Cap
- Horrible Laning Phase
- Vulnerable to CC
- Needs key items

The biggest cons to Vayne is that you can't just pick her up and expect to be the best Vayne on earth. It takes long amount of time and practice to even be decent at her. She has one of the hardest early/laning phases in League. And like most ADC's, she is vulnerable to CC. Meaning hit with one form of CC in a teamfight most likely means you are going to be in a grey screen soon after. The last thing, you need your core items to actually start outputting the serious damage you are known for.

10% Attack Speed

9 Adaptive (5.4 AD or 9 AP)

15-90 HP (lvls 1-18)

This is my favorite set of runes right now due to the buff. You get 110% attack speed right off the back instead of waiting till Level 18 like you do for . is still viable in my opinion, its the only alternative that I see to Hail of Blades. You could swap out for if they have quite a few tanks.

Edit: I recommend Fleet Footwork in most matchups right now. Only go for a Hail of Blades if you want earlier pressure. is good throughout the entire game, it helps you survive laning phase which is where struggles the most at right now. You could swap and for the extra sustain on top of going something along the lines of the tree and go and for the extra heal and with Shield Bash you would be constantly procing due to the overheal shield if you needed a more defensive rune set.

Abilities

For obvious reasons, you want to max W first. Getting the 14% max health true damage on the is your bread and butter for this build. Followed by your , , and lastly to finish things off. You could put a few points into your Q first if needed but your W will be weaker late.

Ability Sequence
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

For Dark Harvest build, you would max your Q, W, R, then E. The more your Q hurts the better.

Items

To start, you are going to want either a or . I would opt the shield if you feel like you are going to be getting poked out of CS.

As soon as you get enough gold buy a . Followed by your crown, . Afterwards I usually opt for a due to the damage reduction on targets and ability to walk through minions to prevent myself from getting blocked. Then I usually build whichever is needed, whether it be a , go for more damage like a , or get a to give me some more survivability.

I will finish out the last 3 chapters very soon.
