Hi guys! My name is Chicken Poks, and this is my guide for Vayne. I have about 200k points on this account, so I haven't been playing Vayne that much yet, but with the knowledge of my experiences, my enemies, and some reddit posts, I have made the perfect build guide. Note: My rank is currently Gold 5, so I'm pretty bad, but I've found a lot of success with these builds, and since low elo supports don't peel, it's much harder to carry as ADC in low elo. These SHOULD work for Platinum to Diamond too, but I'm not entirely sure. Enjoy the guide and please tell me what I can improve on! :)

Pros

Late Game God

Assassin One-shot Playstyle

High Outplay Potential

Tilts Enemies in Loading Screen

Good Duelist

Cons

One of Worst Early Game ADCs

Bad Waveclear

Easily One-shotted

Gets flamed easily by teammates :')

Crit Vayne

Ok, so I've stated in the Runes notes before that Vayne has an extremely support-reliant early game, which is why I decided to go for Bone Plating and Chrysalis With Doran's Shield on Vayne. Another option is Second Wind if against high poke, and Revitalize if planning on going lots of lifesteal and/or you have a Janna/Nami/Soraka/Karma.


Guinsoo's Rageblade Vayne

For Guinsoo's Rush Vayne though, I suggest taking inspiration secondary, with Future's Market and Magical Footwear. They help snowball much faster with an earlier powerspike from Guinsoo's Rageblade. Resolve can also be taken but isn't needed as much, unless you want Conditioning and Revitalize for the late game.

Crit Vayne
Maxing R>Q>W>E is the best possible, since the AD is really important from your Q as you won't be having decent attack speed until after your second crit item.

Guinsoo's Rageblade Vayne
As for Rageblade Vayne, putting two points in Q may help with the cooldown once use ult, but maxing W will really maximize the DPS of Rageblade.

Crit Vayne

Statikk Shiv for wave clear and burst.
Berserker's Greaves for movement speed and attack speed.
Infinity Edge for AD and more damage on crits.
Phantom Dancer for reduced damage, attack speed, and crit.
Death's Dance for even more reduced damage and lifesteal.
Guardian Angel for a second life.

Q: Why Death's Dance though, instead of Bloodthirster or Blade of the Ruined King?
A: Assassins are very common in the mid lane now, especially since Zed became S tier, and LeBlanc got reverted, which causes ADCs to get one shot often. Death's Dance plus Phantom Dancer should make it a bit harder for assassins to kill you.


Guinsoo's Rageblade Vayne

Guinsoo's Rageblade rush for an early powerspike.
Berserker's Greaves for movement speed and attack speed.
Runaan's Hurricane for lifesteal and crit.
Bloodthirster for the synergy with Runaan's Hurricane.
infinity Edge for the crits to do more damage and AD.
Rapid Firecannon for crit and range.

Q: Why Runaan's Hurricane?
A: Runaan's gives waveclear, and increased lifesteal, which is a lot better than Statikk Shiv on Rageblade since it takes a while to charge, and with Rageblade, Vayne can get many more attacks in unlike crit Vayne.

1. Instead of Flash + E, use E + Flash. Flash BEFORE the condemn bolt hits the enemy and the bolt will knock them into the direction you flashed. Play Video
2. Don't tumble straight, always tumble diagonally, or else might die from tumbling too far.

3. Use Q invis to true potential (using it longer). Don't come out of stealth immediately, and don't use Q as an auto empower. Instead, use Q as a repositioning ability, to place you at an advantage against the enemy team. Basically, use Q stealth to the full 1 second.

4. As an ADC, positioning is the MOST IMPORTANT THING. If you stand one step too close, you can die, possibly losing the game. Wait for the enemy team to blow all cooldowns on your tanks or assassins, and then go in. Stay behind front line too, and attack whoever is the closest threat.
