Introduction
Welcome to my first, and probably only build I am going to create here for MOBAFIRE. Most people credit me for having some unusual builds and playing extremely offensively, but I consistently provide alternatives for the defensive player. I understand Vayne is a new champion, but the guides must make progress somewhere, and I decided, since I have not yet seen a decent build (not trying to sound conceited here), that I would put up one worth trying. After dominating relentlessly in 5's, stabbing other Vaynes in the chest, and especially after hunting down Warwicks, I found my build and play style to be so effective, I just had to write it down and share it with everyone! So let's get down to the knitty gritty and show you exactly why I'm so Vayne!
So let's chat about those seals, heh, I know I know! Dodge Seals!? I'm completely nuts, I'll give you that, but when someone like Xin Zhao gets up in your grill, you'll be thanking me, because when you dodge that 3rd hit, instead of him knocking you up, you can tumble backwards, AND KNOCK HIM INTO THE BLOODY WALL! I rest my case here. Vayne tumbles forward sometimes into some rough melee terrain, having these as a backup are more than necessary if you want to, not only chase, but also be able to escape some rather tricky situations.
:Ok I know, you're still thinking that these runes are horrendously placed, but trust me, 10% CDR, combined with blue buff, jeeze oh pete! You'll be tumbling more than a circus actor! NO JOKE! It effectively gets you very close to your CDR cap and lets you use final hour much more often. WHO DOESN'T LIKE WHIPPING OUT THE MASSIVE CROSSBOW OF GET SOME!?
Let's do a quick summary of why each item really contributes to Vayne's success:
: Good attack speed boost at the start, and since the passive gives 40% Movement speed increase chasing a target, Boots of Swiftness are just an overkill.
: Very powerful passive and active when coupled with Silver Bolts (Similar to Twisted Fate's Stacked Deck however, this does true damage).
: Still stacking the Attack Speed early on, due to the fact that most of your damage will not be mitigated very early, combined with the passives of Silver Bolts and Sword of the Divine, plus the crit chance that you now receive more than exemplify the need for this item.
: What respectable, critting, ranged, boomstick would refuse to purchase one of these? Insane crit damage, 80 attack damage, 25% crit chance? Think I need a small break after that!
: You've waited this long in your build for some life-steal, here you go, now your days of recalling are over, BEGIN THE HUNT SOLDIER!
: Tell Mundo and any other Warmog wielding behemoth that their days are numbered and go explain to them why. (2.44 Attack Speed when fully crafted at the end of the build, GG).
: Stop them from running, tumble towards them, send em back to oblivion. (Also helps getting lined up to Condemn them to life inside a wall :D ).
: I don't like people using potions to live with 5 HP after I combo the brains out of them. This fixes the problem. (Also, since Morde's shield is a beast to take on as Vayne, Ignite drops it off rather fast).
is honestly again, overkill in my opinion, but I'm not going to say it isn't a viable spell to take, because when tumble is down, and you have no alternative, it's an amazing escape method. is also another spell I'm sketchy on, I personally never use it, but a lot of people will say it's useful for, once again not only escape, but positioning and getting in front of an enemy champion to them back into their team.
These are really based on play style, because all four are beneficial, it just depends on what you want to do with this champion, and the build still makes all these options viable choices.
Thanks for taking the time to read my build, and I look forward to seeing you on the Fields Of Justice!
I typically chill out in the Mobafire Channel on League, so if you have any questions, I'm usually on a lot during the week, so feel free to chat it up!
