Battle Bat Vayne

Owned every Vayne skin since season 4 but Battle Bat might be the one that finally retires PROJECT for good. After 90 games with this Anima Squad release, I'm convinced it's got the cleanest animations in her entire collection.

The Q tumble feels insanely responsive compared to other skins, especially Arclight where the roll animation sometimes feels sluggish. Her W silver bolts have this distinct purple pop that makes tracking stacks during teamfights way easier. And the ult transformation is probably the smoothest I've experienced, with those bat wings deploying instantly without the visual clutter of Firecracker or Spirit Blossom. During a baron fight yesterday, I managed to kite through three people purely because the auto attack animations were so crisp I could weave perfectly between shots. Base Vayne feels clunky after using this.

Is Battle Bat Vayne worth it at 1350 RP? Absolutely, especially if you're serious about climbing with her. The skin isn't pay-to-win but the visual clarity gives you a genuine edge in hectic fights. Her condemn has this purple trail that makes wall stun distances easier to judge, something I struggled with on Dragonslayer. Plus the recall animation where she hangs upside down is just pure style points when you're fed and want to tilt the enemy ADC.

My experience with Battle Bat Vayne convinced me to refund Sentinel just to keep this one permanently. If you main Vayne or even play her occasionally, grab this while it's still in the shop. The combination of smooth animations and visual clarity makes it her best skin for ranked, beating out even the legendary options.
