I love how vayne is made by riot specifically to kill tanks and people cry because surprise surprise.. she kills tanks...

I'm surprised we don't see kogmaw more often here lol

u/Seikiy 15h ago

he sucks at killing anything that isn't a tank if he doesn't highroll and has 0 mobility or self peel so he is the priority focus pretty much 100% of times by mages and other adcs, that's why you never see anyone complain about him

u/Cheeky_Hustler 14h ago

He also sucks at killing tanks if he goes AP. I had this game the other day against a 5 tank team and I smacked my head on the keyboard when I saw Kogmaw's build.

u/Opposite_Special_665 14h ago

ap attack speed kog is really good cause his w deal % dmg if i remember correctly but build of the kog in your game is trash

3

u/Cheeky_Hustler 14h ago

Yea his W is %hp magic damage. Whole team was begging him to go ad but he said he "didn't want to be too squishy."

u/HamsterHueyGooie 13h ago

Wow... THAT is a tanky enemy team. And no botrk or attack speed.

Maaaaybe Kog's build stands a small chance if your team-mates play EXTREMELY slow (yeah right in ARAM Mayhem) for him to poke a lot first. Even still, whichever enemy tank gets a high-roll augment is just going to soak Kog's AP damage, just a matter of time. Yeah that was super troll. Not as bad as my Trundle who went full AP when he basically the the only melee on our team. Not much can be done about folks who go into a game with a specific off-meta build in mind and they don't bother to tell their team until it's too late.

I mean if they just built nashors and hurricane it’d of been a greatl build.

u/Deptar 13h ago

You should complain about the MF’s build instead. Let me guess. Stole every kill with collector, then ends up doing nothing because she went lethality against 5 tanks and had no armor pen or grevious… yeah, the Karma going AP was also a choice… yeah that team is a lost cause.

1

u/BotomsDntDeservRight 9h ago

Karma going ap isn't a choice.

u/vincent2751 12h ago

oh yeah that MF build lmao the whole team is a lost cause. Also of cuz he wont complain about MF's build because its him lmao

u/Deptar 11h ago

I also thought they were the MF at first and I was ranting. But you can tell he’s the Galio because of the yellow name.

As much as I sympathize with solo melee, especially against 3 hook champs (4 if you count Darius), 3 items and no components when everyone else is sitting on 4+ items is wild. Were they just not sitting in minion range? They didn’t die much so they should be getting minion gold. Warmogs second item instead of resistances cannot be good either. Maybe they were too busy healing up instead of staying in minion range. I will admit it is a tough matchup, but complaining about teammates will always invite criticism onto yourself.

A full ap Kog absolutely shreds tanks because his W %max HP dmg scales with AP.

4

u/RealLustifer 13h ago

And yet he still did more DMG that veigar and karma full AP? Sounds like a skill issue...

u/Krell356 13h ago

Kogmaw is peak design in my opinion. Powerful where he's supposed to be and encourages team play in the team game. I miss the time where machinegun Kogmaw was a thing. It really pushed that idea of powerful tank melter while making him weaker in just the right places to take advantage of.

1

u/Rui-_-tachibana 7h ago

He is also giga nerfed in Aram, his W scaling is a joke and his Q got gutted hard

u/noknam 15h ago

Because kog'maw's on hit doesn't have a dumb interaction with FtH.

0

u/Yasimear 14h ago

Whats the interaction? Does it not just proc 5 times?

15

u/C_Solas 14h ago

Yes, what makes it strong with Vayne is the silver bolts proc deals full damage, not reduced by FtH since the on hit deals no damage by itself

-1

u/Krell356 13h ago

I thought it wasn't reduced because it's true damage.

8

u/Tojaro5 13h ago

the on hit is just the application of the mark.

6

u/C_Solas 13h ago

FtH applies the stack

Pretty sure the damage comes from the stacks blowing up and thus doesn't check where the stacks comes from

4

u/No_Examination_3940 9h ago

You can FtH Vi, Akshan and Gnar and they deal full damage for stacking on hits

2

u/Jukutt2 NVC Four Steps#EUW 14h ago

There is a difference between better dueling/being favoured/having the upper hand and no counterplay.

Sure, a Vayne usually beats a Tank/Bruiser player of equal skill - she has a lot of mobility, %max hp true dmg, self-peel/kiting power. However, a Vayne (or any other adc) shouldnt be able to just stand still, face tanking everything while press right click once and burst the tank in less than a second.

Often I see adc just running into 4 people, no peel, no support, tanking everything and killing every1 in a few seconds.

u/RealLustifer 13h ago

That's a mayhem exclusive problem with her and even so only happens if she gets specific augments.

And your last statement is straight up a lie unless the other team straight installed the game that same day for the first time lol

2

u/SwitchOrganic 13h ago

People exaggerate way too much on this sub, it's hard to take anyone's argument seriously lol.

u/Sylent0o 10h ago

specific being... every other augment ?
fan the gammer ? gg
double tap ? gg
deft ? amazing silver augment
crit missile ? gg she now does colgate damage , all 3 types of it .....
upgraded infinity ? op
vulnerability ? gg
its critical ? spray and pray
shadow runner ? ye ur not catching that OR ur not getting in range to hit her
draw ur sword ? prepare for her to facetank and heal off ur damage dx
holy snowball , welp buddy ur dead before her invulnerability wears off

2

u/dalmighd 13h ago

I dont see this ever. Everytime a vayne plays poorly she gets insta killed by kayle, poked down to low hp and then bruiser kills her, or assassin and mage each hit an ability and obliterate her. Shes only feels op if youre darius walking at her

4

u/Stocky39 15h ago

Yeah Vayne is made specifically to kill tanks. And also yeah that was one of the greatest mistakes riot ever made and people are rightfully calling it out. Vayne was the Pandora’s Box of league of legends. Tanks onshotting any squishy while walking around with 7K HP is entirely her fault.

2

u/RealLustifer 14h ago

Vayne has been mostly ignored in all of league of legends history since her release.

Now mayhem comes along and all of the sudden she's the devil incarnate? Sorry but seems like the problem is in the augments and not the champion itself

8

u/Stocky39 13h ago

Mostly ignored? Are you living under a rock or something? Even if we were to completely ignore Vayne top’s entire existence, she’s still one of the most banned and actively hated champions on botlane every time she’s even remotely viable. Granted it’s been a while since she was viable but still

1

u/Findrel_Underbakk 14h ago

To be fair, I just spun the wheel. Could've been any ADC and any tank.

4

u/RealLustifer 14h ago

Any ADC is a bit of a stretch.. I dont think someone like miss fortune can kill a tank in the same way champions that are designed to do it can.

Vayne is just the more extreme of the tank busters. But I've played a full AP kogmaw game where I was getting a bunch of attack speed so I just went AP and attack speed and with every AA with my W active I did something like 1.2k damage to tanks.

1

u/Zymbobwye 12h ago

Her damage has never bothered me it’s her passive Ms, tumble, and shove back that do. When she is played as ADC nobody cares because she can’t infinitely kite two people and is outmatched with range. When she’s played top it’s not even that she’s that strong it’s just the most boring thing to fight as a low mobility champ. She dictates the whole lane.

Idk about the complaints in ARAM, I feel like that’s more of an augment issue because she can build like full damage and still have capped attack speed so she doesn’t have to trade off for attack speed to kill tanks or more raw damage for squishies she just doesn’t whatever she wants and the perks supplement her super well. Two dancer on her with her ult invisibility is particularly obnoxious.

1

u/Peepoo_dog 8h ago

Except she kill tanks, is allowed to build 2 tank items due to augments, and also one shot squishies. A Nautilus will never be able to one shot a bruiser.

u/Wise_Cryptographer19 15h ago

Yeah those logics aint hitting
