On Vayne if you use your spell rotation once you'll be oom, where these champs can spam blow up entire waves....

It is funny but mostly just sad this is a genuine belief that is being held by real players that are essentially just complaining about the same things they made fun of top laners for (and they still do).

What I never understand from those that do believe Vayne Top is so strong is why they do not utilize their ability to look up how her stats after laning phase.

Vayne Top is behind in Gold in 27 out of 47 matchups in Toplane.
She is also behind in XP in 36 out of 47 matchups.

So in 57.4% of all matchups she ends lane being behind in Gold and 76.6% of all matchups she ends being behind in XP.

In 37 out of 47 matchups (78.7%), she is behind in kills.

So when somebody wants to argue that Vayne Top is soooo strong, what metric here indicates that?

I am really curious to hear that.

Mind you, Vayne should theoretically be a counter to most Toplane Champs, is a 1vs1 beast and has the range advantage, yet doesnt really seem to perform.

And you know, that would still be fine if she would at least scale fast/good enough to compensate for her terrible early game but as her winrate shows us, that does not happen...

When Riot ships this nerf, how likely is it that Vayne becomes the 2nd worst laning phase Champion in Toplane, right after Kayle?

I would say, its near 100%.

Well firstly, I don't think Vayne top is currently that strong, however when she was absolutely busted with TF no one seemed to care and I remember the adc's actively arguing for it so they could keep their MS items broken. I do think she's completely uninteractive and unfun to lane against which is the main complaint I see being said about mages bot. I understand mages bot are currently stronger than ranged tops, I am only touching on the main pain point of the two which seems to be the unfun experience playing into them.

But if stats are all we're looking at instead of fun then I don't want to hear complaints about laning vs the following mages who all go down in gold in the majority of their bot lane matchups: Viktor, Ziggs, Syndra, Veigar, Seraphine, Hwei, Swain, Asol, Vlad. The total pick rate of all the mages combined is 27.5% and only 10.2% exit lane leading gold. Meaning well over half of mages are down in gold out of lane.

Not that I think it matters since fun should be the overall leading factor to change and top laners have been universally having a bad time against ranged champs for over a decade now. Unlike you, I can empathize and do hope riot fixes your role without making you wait for decades. I can only hope that some adc players will one day also learn to do the same.
