You build tanky with attack speed because her W is so broken that you don't need damage items.

For a while I have been trying a different approach to her W that I would like to get some opinions on.

Opening Dorans shield, Like regrowth it gives nice hp regen, adds armor to help with with minion aggro from tumble harass and gives you some more hp which she really lacks.

Buy Pickaxe on first shop. While her W gives really nice late game damage as hp and armor goes up its less so early. Pickaxe adds some AD to help last hitting and tumble harass.

Boots next, normaly go for zerkers since once you get hit by cc your normaly dead anyway.#

Sword of the Divine after boots. The Attack speed helps with W, and as she wants to attack for longer periods the proc adds a more damage.

From here the build tends to differ a lot depending on matchups and enemies but generaly tanky. Even in late game situations with only a pickaxe and SotD as dmg items she does a lot. Sometimes I get lifesteal and build towards stark.
Mostly pick up a negaton and chainvest to turn into a banshee and GA. If the game hasnt ended yet turn the pickaxe into a MBR and watch tanks melt.

Masteries I go 9/21/0
Runes armor yellows, flat MR blues and I have actualy been changing between AD and armor pen for reds/quints. not sure yet which is like more.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

this is bad. Instead of being lazy and just wanting to sit and right click, use tumble and condemn properly and 1v5 their team with IE build.


nah, this is definitely the proper way to build her

i made it clear in my build that this still relies on positioning and kiting, but the fact that you won't get blown up if you get within 1000 range of any other hero is really nice, it's a quality that no other carries have (except atmogs sivir)

i'm p sure you haven't tried this build yet. like i said 95% of people i see building vayne do shit like last whisper -> ie or triforce -> damage, even on high level streams. those builds are nice for killing things quickly, but i'll gladly trade upfront damage for sustained damage on a carry every time, especially at the additional bonus of not dying when enemy soraka looks at you funny

Personally, I like to start Philo as OP stated, into Zerkers, into C&D for Crit Damage and AS. After that, I'll build an IE. (Unless I somehow get enough cash to outright buy an IE before C&D.) Then I'll build PD and finish with something to help me survive, Banshee's usually.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

What is your argument against a "standard teemo build"?

I'm doing great with Wits End -> zeal -> Bloodrazor -> Frozen Mallet -> More tankstuff. The AS/% health combo from BR + w is insane, i like the zeal thrown in for MS and a little more AS.

Or is it just your opinion that W is so OMGWTF broken that everything besides Wits/PD is "too much damage" compared to the survivabiltiy you get from more tank items earlier?

PS: If I'd use your build I'd go (Philos and boots aside)

Wits end -> Zeal -> Starks -> Malet/Warmogs -> Atmas -> NOW finish PD. Pretty sure it's more effective this way. Maybe finish after Starks or the HP item, but definitly not the full PD that quick.


PPS: My #1 argument against damage items since release is that your ult gives you damage. You simply press R when a Tristana would press Q. While I feel that more damage is overkill I feel Bloodrazor adds just that nice amount of damage you love when fighting without ult.

Tryed OP's Philo opening and even 2x Philo game .
With such build i felt like all upcoming items are way to delayed and even more it delays vaynes's great snowballing with AS + W so i lost quite mutch of my presence during fights as without AS items i had hard time landing 3x W while keeping safe distance ( Delayed lv2 boots ).

My core so far with vayne atm is : Boots + 3HP pots ( Mobility to harass with AA + Q + W proc / pots to heal ) -> finish Zerkers ( faster harass + W procs ) -> Zeal -> 2nd Zeal ( My reasoning is : Zeal gives me AS for W and MS for escape/harass Crit is nice bonus . I buy 2x Zeals coz gettin PD straight away is expensive and with vayne i want to get upgrades all the time not save up for something)

From Zerkers -> 2x Zeal i have follow 2 routes
1) Game goes well and i'm not focused or i can still survive focus and kite // Get BF and build Either infinity or Black Cleaver etc to punish enemy bad teamplay/scater
2)Enemy team has burst assasin and or rest of them also go for me // OP's atmogs work like a charm starting with Chain vest + Giants into mogs into atma

Regarding sheen // early game thumble doesn't have such short CD to activate sheen and Q spam for Sheen procs drained my mana eventualy. Also AP tome + Mana crystal delays once again vaynes potential of harass

Philo is a pretty terrible item for Vayne. She dominates just about every matchup with Tumble harassment. Sure Philo allows her to stay in lane longer but Vayne's strength is forcing her enemy to base or die at 6+Exhaust.

i would max q over w, even with your w-centric build, simply due to the difference in lane presence that each offer. having w as a primary dmg source early on means you're extremely predictable, whereas q offers faster front loaded dmg. Not to mention the fact that q tapers off when w starts becoming more effective, so instead of having q be a strictly escape/chase mechanism the entire game, you can have it as a dmg source in the laning phase while having it relegated to escape/chase mid-end game.

god damn is this bitch overpowered

I hate saying it but all it takes is getting a single ulted condemn off at level 9 to bring someone from 100-20, then you've already lost the fight.

I've been playing her following Chaox build and it honestly seems unfair.

Thanks to the OP for pointing out Warmog's + Atma's on Vayne. I don't agree with the rest of the build, but working towards those two items after you've completed Trinity Force and Ionian Boots gives you almost everything you need: health, armor, critical chance, and damage. Finish with a Last Whisper and you're a beast.

Vayne by Chaox:
http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=1270.

IMO going full aspd without AD still isn't that great, don't fall into the trap of "must find a synergy with W". You don't always lock onto one target for 3 shots, also why abuse the W for "i kill them in 10 shots with 2,5 shots per second" when you can kill them in 5 shots with 1,5 shot per second (yeah i didn't do the real research but neither did anyone who thinks that going mostly aspd on her is good).
Tanky items are useful only when you don't trust your teammates and still it's quite easy for vayne to use them as meatshields without them knowing

Had several games where enemy team had akali ....
1)I was fed with good dmg . Team fight starts . Akali jumps from bush/ledge etc . I'm either dead or run back to base
2)Akali was fed. Same as Nr1 only i was always dead.

Shroud makes her untargetable by condemn and tanks don't see anything either to get her off me ... Atmogs let me live and add nice dmg / crit

I also build Mogs against heavy burst like Blanc.

boots + 3 pots-> 1~2 doran swords-> zeal->IE(bf sword-> pick axe-> crit cloak)-> dancer



AD route is totaly viable and works well aslong enemy team makes mystake of not attacking vayne.
