Hey guys, I'm Lorenz, a league player who likes playing Vayne. I played League for 3 years and I learned a lot from playing her.


Vayne is weak early game, god late game ADC. She has a weak laning phase but makes up for it through her mid-game and especially her amazing late-game. She's also a fairly high skillcap champion, for which reason I do not recommend her to beginners or people not willing to invest the time necessary to master her.

During the 2017 season, ADCs started buying Doran's Shield as their first item to help with sustain in-lane and to scale more safely as the game goes on. It was considered extremely odd at first, because, well, Doran's Shield is a tank item. Those that criticized the strategy called it cheesy and claimed it was exploiting a massively OP item.

Well, get ready, because there's a new build in town that helps out ADCs even more, and pros all around the world, especially in Korea, are building it on nearly every ADC champion they play.

Say hello to the Overheal meta, because it probably isn't going away any time soon.

I can feel your blood boiling with frustration as you look at the rune build above, and don't worry, you're not alone. This build makes ADCs ridiculously hard to kill, especially the hyper-mobile ones that you can't seem to pin down, such as Vayne and Kalista, and that's incredibly infuriating to play against sometimes.

The core of the build is Overheal and Legend: Bloodline. With the lifesteal gained from Legend: Bloodline and the Relic Shield you pick up as your first item, you can get massive shields to protect yourself from literally hundreds of damage points at the beginning of fights.

Other runes like Fleet Footwork and Revitalize can boost the shield and your survivability considerably more, but the Overheal/Relic Shield combo is so strong that you can still run Lethal Tempo and Domination as your secondary rune path and be just fine.

ADC players such as SK Telecom T1's Bae "Bang" Jun-sik have been running this build consistently for the last week, and they've even forsaken the popular poke-Varus build in favor of attack speed just to use the Overheal/Relic Shield combo more effectively.

Buy b.f. sword at first back to give you some AD for early game.
After getting b.f. sword, buy berseaker's greaves to give you attack speed.
You may get mercury's threads if you want magic resist or Ninja Tabi if you want armor.
Upgrade your b.f. sword to Infinity Edge to give you high amount of AD and Crit.
After Infinity Edge buy a Zeal and upgarde it to Statikk Shiv
After getting Statikk Shiv get another Zeal and upgrade it to Rapid Firecannon
After getting these items, I take Blade of the Ruined King or Guardian Angel.
But me, I usually take Guardian Angel as a last item (Depends on you).

I take these items beacause the unique passive of Infinity Edge will give you 250% critical strike chance. When you combined the 100 stacks from your rune Fleet Footwork, 100 stacks from Statikk Shiv and another 100 from Rapid Firecannon with Vayne's Tumble that will proc Sudden Impact rune will really give you maximum damage to your enemies. It can also one shot squishies. It can also tear tanks.

Flash is 100% used in most games. You can use this as an escape tool or secure kills.
Heal is a standard secondary spell used by ADC's because you will need it for survival.
Barrier is also good for survival but Heal is better because barrier can't give you life but only shield.

So that's all for my Vayne guide. Hope this guide can help you in playing Vayne
