Curious Platinum Vayne build:

Just goes to show that there are many ways of reaching Platinum.

it doesn't matter how optimal your build is if you are capable of crushing people with better mechanics or decision making

Nope, not trolling - on my team and went 12-4-9. Amazing mechanics and laning. Would definitely rank up much faster with a standard build though.

Build isn't that bad really. BT is a perfectly fine start for vayne because the lifesteal is so much higher than BotRK and living = killing. Additionally it synergizes well with a Q max which isn't necessarily worse than a W max.

Once you have BT, then BotRK or PD is probably single target optimal but Vayne does have lots of raw AS scaling and the ability to push waves with Ruunan's isn't bad. It lets you side lane push a lot better and still have decent single target DPS. I bet it allows vayne to farm a lot more without missing team fights.

Then whisper because Whisper(though IE,PD, or BotRk is probably more DPS, whisper is cheap). Then, of course, Steraks because :psyduck:

It's clear the goal was to just not get blown up. From there it's typical Vayne grind you down nonsense. Standard? No, but it accomplishes the defined goal.

e. Just saw Hurricane. lol fuck my post.

Tank/Bruiser Yi isnt troll at all though. Cowsep even said in his AMA that was the ideal Yi build unless you're smurfing. (Sated/bork alone gives enough damage)

I don't think it's actually that retarded. I've won games too with Cinderhulk -> Frozen Mallet -> Black Cleaver Yi. In fact I feel like it's even stronger with Dead Man's Plate, Sterak's Gage, Titanic Hydra, Maw of Malmortious, and GA.

no. level 1 is pretty much the only time he can all-in you lol.
go RoA build. use W speed to disengage instead of polymorph. rush homeguards. merc treads to counter his slow if need be (don't need if he doesn't go botrk tho).

fairly easy matchup. maybe medium level if he gets really lucky with his crits which can be annoying. otherwise ez pz.

hm alright, he kinda just got full rage bar E'd onto me and auto'd me. I always felt it was a super snowbally lane either way but thanks. I'll see if mercs helps

I hope Brand doesn't get nerfed, IMO he's pretty strong right now. Apart from Veigar, he's the only old fashioned mash buttons and blow shit up mid that works now.

I was thinking about this previously and a reddit post reminded me of it again. For you EU guys, who are your one trick ponies and what do they play?
I think despite the bad rep these players have, some of them are literally amazing at the champ they main. Sometimes, I even think they can play their champs better than your average LCS player, etc.

At least for NA, the couple that we have, just off the top of my head:
Irelia: Irelia Carries U
Fizz: FateFalls
Annie: Annie Bot
Renekton: Romanium, Neryth
Wukong: S Allorim, Weatherdark
Tryndmere: Rohammers, BoxerPete
