I see.
I just recently started playing vayne and never realized that she is in fact doing a lot of physical damage.
Also using those runes for early game makes sense. Getting some kills early game is an advantage that often decides to whole game. I will have to try the build the way you suggested when I can afford all the runes. Thanks.

Going for atk speed is very viable on vayne.
Going for atk speed on any carry also means razor.
What I don't understand is why you are using armor penetration runes, when all the damage you do is true dmg and magic dmg (from razor, wits end)?


I feel like flat runes are made for early game, and her damage early game comes from auto attacks mostly. The Silver Bolts proc max level is 60 + 8% of the enemies max health, but early on carries and some 'tanky' dps have ~1400hp. Also, there isn't much MR being built early on squishy/tanky DPS players. So I run armor pen for a, albeit slight, damage boost on squishy targets. 30AD from Madred's and we'll say 40 from a rank 2 ult, I feel like armor pen makes more sense. The extra 9 magic pen mid-late game isn't that much anyway.

I haven't tried it out to be honest. If anything I would grab the magic pen in the Offensive Mastery Tree before I grab magic pen runes. Runes wouldn't do much against a tank with 200 MR, but it would cut the MR of someone with just a Banshee's veil by a nice percentage. Still, I don't seem to have trouble bursting down either of the above. The on-hits take enough out of a squishy to stay threatening and the W is a bonus (it's meant to worry tanks more-so then others).

Still, viable question =D. I do like when people point out potential upgrades.

But that's just it, she's not the best AD carry out there. Why bother picking her when Cait Trist or Ashe do so much better. This turns her into a tanky range DPS. It's what metagame is nowadays, I don't need an IE / PD to burst the carry in the back down.

I'm not suggesting AD fails every time, but give the build a chance next time lol. The items in this build let her do more than enough damage, and its consistent damage to carry and tank alike.


Meh, I'll admit you're right after thinking about it, true dmg with as/on-hit would work really well by itself, leaving you to build tanky. Sorry, just rushed to conclusions. +1

Leave these items for tanky dps. Vayne is meant to be an ad carry. All of these items combined aren't nearly as strong as just an IE and PD.
