Why do you need PD if you already have a Nunu? You already attack fast, so getting a BF sword first would make you do SO much more damage while not relying on consistently auto attacking (and being more exposed). It's like the Vayne in one of my ranked games that went PD->Zeal and did nothing mid game since he couldn't sit there and auto attack. | ||

The explanation is "tons of damage" You can also go zeal and not finish PD yet, I do that sometimes. The point is, if you want to outtrade, you need to proc W anyways. Against almost every AD, you lose otherwise, especially if they have a spell they can use for fighting. PD -> zeal is obviously retarded. | ||

I see why rushing PD is useful if you have basically any other support, but in theory, shouldn't a BF be a gazillion times more useful with nunu W? | ||

Like I said I just don't understand the logic, since I've always believed that, while silver bolts is nice, you still need to actually do damage with your autos to be a real threat. | ||

If you have the gold though I'd just go BF. | ||

She absolutely MUST be within 550 range to do damage, which is well within the danger zone of most bruisers. If vayne is behind at all in the midgame, then she just gets absolutely demolished, and it becomes really really hard to do anything unless your support/frontline is working overtime. I didn't say she was "safe", she is way less safe than ez, corki, and the likes who both have +MS in their firstish items, higher range and built in flash like skills. But mobility and positionning is almost everything there is to ad carry, and vayne is, in this regard, better than trist mid game from my point of view mainly because there are no trist who goes for MS items early. That the range is smaller is something, that you can position yourself well enough to be in range with the designated target and out of range of the bruiser, or that you can escape the bruiser grasp after he has done his gap closer skill is something else. I've seen Aphro doing PD/BT almost every time on vayne (and usually making a LW after that), except maybe when he has a nunu support. But don't listen to me, I don't play ad very often. | ||

doublelift getting caught afk farming is just something that happens sometimes compared to the 99% of the time where he's afk farming and doesn't get caught. I think he's gotten better at not getting caught. You can't blame him for not grouping much when he plays with CLG with like no leadership and they all want to afk farm and he's playing ad carry anyway and hotshot will probably just split push his lane if he doesn't get the farm himself. Pro players being wrong is something that happens a lot. For example wickd theorycrafted the cost effectiveness of ghostblade and tried it a lot and then he realized it didn't work out as well in reality for various reasons. Calling pros "dumb" is just ignorant as fuck and mechanics are just part of game understanding since for example skillshots rely watching opponents movement and predicting them and their reactions if you move closer to them etc etc. Positioning shouldn't count as mechanics either since it's just analysis of the enemies potential and what skill CDs they have up. The only thing that should count as mechanics is last hitting skills and the ability to line skillshots where you want them and flash over walls and shit as far as im concerned. | ||

Vayne needs 26% bonus MS to hit the MS soft cap of 495 MS with Night Hunter (and 36% to hit it without Night Hunter). PD+Nunu is smooth together because the combination gives you exactly 27% with Blood Boil rank 5. By and large, people underestimate how important the MS softcap is. | ||
