i don't see many posts about vayne so as a frequent vayne and dominion player i'll just say what i do.

early game vayne is ****, she needs to be fed like crazy and needs kills. if you can work with teammates to get those kills that's even better. don't be afraid to try and last hit as many minions as you can early on as well. many people forget about last hitting in dominion so take advantage of that. also i rely on her true damage to help my team early on. i try really hard to focus one person at a time to get that true damage on them. i do what i can to use my tumble and stuns at the right time for my team but only in team fights. i never engage early on without my team. the items i get to start are prospectors blade, boots, and 2 health potions. after wards i rush for a light bringer. now this seems odd because most people i see don't use this item but it's incredibly handy when i play vayne. reason why is that when i hit someone with a basic attack i can still see them for 5 seconds and they may walk into a bush to escape me but i can still target them with condemn. i might not kill them but i can stun and do a lot of damage. afterwards i will either go for black cleaver or sanguines blade. usually black cleaver for damage and more speed then the vampiric scepter for life steal. at this point in the game you're pretty strong and are able to chase a lot longer because of light bringer and not have to worry about being killed because you can see everything around that champ you shot. after sanguines blade you can get phantom dancer and on the off chance the match goes on longer you can get infinity edge. rare it goes on that long but it's happen twice to me. at this point with playing vayne right most people can't hurt you too much if you play her right.

when playing her there are two things i'd say to remember. stand near walls all the time and use that tumble to get away from the wall and condemn them into it. this works really easy in dominion cause there are a lot of places to hit them into. second learn to stand into a bush and peg an oncoming champ with a single normal attack after you have lightbringer. now that you can see them, when they start heading towards you to attack you can activate your ultimate and tumble out of the bush invisible. as they are in the bush you can still see them and peg them with condemn. stunning them and most likely killing them. but playing vayne you need to learn to bait certain champions attacks first like jax's evade. if he activates that after you blast condemn odds are you'll lose. you need to play really offensively.

anyways thats what i do for my AD carry! hope i helped!

Nothing you can do about early game. It's the trade off you pay for having such a strong late game.

Play Sivir. Spell shield always up, never die. lol

Give MF a shot. She's very flexible. I've had success with a Kitae's build, a build where I stacked Sanguine Blades, another with Sanguine Blade -> LW -> PD, and I've seen some do ok with Trinity Force. Obviously the standard AD Carry build is superior to all of the above but go ahead and see what works for you. Max Q first then W. You don't even have to level your ult on MF. I do since it's sometimes useful in team fights and when you want to clear a large creep wave fast.

Or play Sivir. The spell shield is very useful and if you max Q first, Sivir can sort of be played like a utility AD caster until you get your items. Q damage is quite nice and everyone near you benefits from your ult. LW as your first item isn't really a bad idea on Sivir.

Oh, and Corki. That AP scaling is very useful early game and it also helps that Sheen is a common item on him.


I never really had too much trouble winning with AD Carries on Dominion. Though it has gotten quite tough now that Jax is a good pick again. Oh, and that Darius guy....

Edit: Lightbringer is a solid early game AD item. The problem is transitioning into something better later. Although the attack speed is nice, it doesn't have synergy with crit like PD does. And while the AD it provides is also good, it's not enough that you can go straight into LW afterwards. I think I found that buying IE after Lightbringer and eventually selling Lightbringer to buy PD to be a decent decision. Tricky item...

Have a tank like nunu or Alistar there. Ive had good success with kog, since you can use ult to stop caps.in losing scenarios and with any protection you eat bruisers.

Yeah I play MF there too. MF is one of my favorite champions.

Miss Fortune despite the fact that she has no escapes (graves can use E defensively but has to use to offensively to get the most burst) runs really fast and shoots from a pretty safe distance. I usually run cleanse/ghost or cleanse/exhaust to facilitate easier kiting.

She seems easier to play but less powerful overall tbh.

thanks for all the help dudes.
