Mastery 7 on Vayne!

Mastery Level 7 on Vayne

Staying hardstuck silver has its own benefits. Tiny queue times, a very small champion pool size which makes it fun to play, neverending adventures with the most random builds, playstyles, and moods. It feels like home. It can get a bit frustrating, but staying stuck in the same rank for 5 years makes it so much more bearable.

But first, let's begin with a celebration. I finally got my mastery level 7 on Vayne. Man, was it difficult. She is a short-ranged marksfellow with a tiny dash and a lot of ways to be outplayed. In the earlier levels, it is very difficult to position and farm safely because of the short range.

However, with just 2-3 items, and playing safe, she can turn into an absolute monster on the rift. Her W, along with the new item Kraken Slayer does tons of true damage and goes through tanks like a hot knife through butter. The only downside is that you have to get close to the enemies due to her small range which makes her an easy kill.

This was the game that got me my well-deserved mastery level 7 on Vayne. An exceptional game and deserving of the S rank performance. My end-game score was 18/3/7 and my support was a very skilled Tahm Kench against a Vayne and Rell.

Laning phase for both marksman was equal. Our supports are melee and cannot pressure as much, nor push or pull the lane. This made farming a little easier than usual. However, Rell's engage is unmatched in the game. She can jump on me, stun me, knock me up and set up an easy kill for the enemy Vayne.

But, in the game, we realized Tahm Kench was a good counter to Rell. As soon as Rell jumped on me, TK would swallow me up and I could reposition to now set up a kill on the badly positioned Rell, which was usually under the tower because I was playing very safely. As you can see, Rell ended the game with a 2/9 score and the enemy Vayne with a 3/9 score.

And that was that. With just Kraken Slayer and my boots, I began running a rampage on the map. Buying BORTK and PD just added gas to the burning fire. With a healthy lead in the botlane, our control on the objectives was not contested and the game was done the moment the enemy team realized they couldn't touch me.

So, with proper positioning, kiting safely, and the right item builds to claim as many kills as possible while keeping all the objectives under control, I have now got my beautiful Level 7 Mastery Badge. Doesn't it look gorgeous?
