Vayne | New Champion - Legends of Runeterra

[@jimstoesz3878]

The Sentinels of Light event was an unmitigated disaster, but making Vayne a Sentinel was one of the best lore choices Riot's ever made.

[@lx-icon]

I absolutely love the design they went with - not at all what I expected! It does feel very odd for any version of "Tumble" to be a "Slow" spell if you're comparing to the base game, but it works in context of LoR. I was expecting something along the lines of her Tumble allowing her to dodge out of combat/from being targeted as a Fast spell, but this design is much more unique. And it feels quite fitting for Vayne to be incorporated with the Equip mechanic!

[@Elephanthobo]

It works for me! Tumble never feels "fast", it feels disorienting! She tumbles, goes invis for 1s, AND THEN you get destroyed. The opposite is true with condemn! She autos twice and you're expecting the silver bolts proc damage, but then she combos with condemn and you're suddenly dead.

[@moctezuma_2]

@@Elephanthobo exactly! Vayne is more deceptive rather than someone that is just faster than you. Plus, ahri already dodges during combat which is much more fitting of her LoL kit.

[@bibule]

Tumblr lol

[@Stolanis]

@@moctezuma_2 I dispute that. Vayne absolutely *is* meant to be faster than you as her passive in LoL gives her movement speed towards enemy champs - and this bonus DOUBLES when she ults. She is the very definition of a relentless chase hunter: if you can't turn and kill her she WILL run you down and fill you full of crossbow bolts. Not to mention, no Vayne worth their salt will use Tumble solely for damage unless the enemy is in no position to fight back. Given that it's her only way of quickly repositioning, a good Vayne will hold onto Tumble until the enemy tries to hit her with a skillshot ability and then Tumble out of it. In fact, Ahri's line CC skillshot Charm is a perfect example of an ability that Vayne would use Tumble to avoid. I agree with OP that if LoR Vayne were like in LoL, her Tumble would be something like Fizz's Playful Trickster: take Vayne out of combat, cancel all enemy spells targeting her and Rally. Buuut, there are going to be differences; it makes a certain amount of sense that Vayne should have a card that can equip her with an item since she's an item-scaling carry in League too, and obviously this is the patch in which Riot is really trying to push Equipment as a mechanic, so it makes sense why they designed Tumble like this.

[@Ladygothii12]

Vayne being a sentinal and that being a current lore state and costume is one of the few things I keep in my official head cannon.

[@cryochick9044]

that isn't head cannon. that is like saying captain fortune isn't the cannon design for our lady pirate herself

[@CoastingBy]

Well, seeing this I don't think it can really just be a headcanon anymore, it's kind of a canon canon, hahah.

[@Kennedy00Louis]

[@Quasarii]

the haircut and uniform she wore now is made by gwen ❤️👌

[@lordnightingale7346]

It's quite interesting that they release Vayne with her Sentinel outfit as her base form. And quite strange that she has no quick attack (given that she is one of the champions that really needs to attack fast and move a lot)

[@Quasarii]

you need to find it with weapon master

[@roucksxhieaz]

Like they did to Kalista, they dont give her Quick Attack to balance the card. (Kalista also moves alot)

Love it ! BEST TCG, and i played so much different, semi_pro magic, 1st place mtg arena mythic, eternal top1, constructed/limited at the same time,elite mythguard, top world shadowverse, hearstone legend std and classic. All those games were great with qualities and defaults. But Runeterra got a lot of real good mechanics who make the game more fast paced than all of his rivals, the real " problem" is a learning curve much more longer and difficult than other TCG but it's really worth it. Ps: Marvel Snap is a shame, and i can understand some people want some more easy and WC friendly game, but this game is an insult to your intelligence, i prefer UNO if i really want to play something light.

keep in mind that Tumble does not need to be used with vayne, and probably shouldn't be considering she's just a 3 mana 3/4 and only needs to see attacks. The value comes from using Tumble on other units that are better suited for it, like ones with attack effects or combat keywords.
