Vlad's q is bugged, really bugged

Tried to post it on reddit too, but didn't get much response so I figured I'd post it here.

Vlad's q is really unreliable right now, because sometimes when you enpowered q something, it will just act like a normal q, with the low healing and damage.

The first 20 games or so I didn't think about it, but as time goes on I get more and more annoyed with it and start to notice that it happens ALOT. I think it happens if you spam q as it's going off cooldown, maybe the crimson rush meter hasn't filled up 0.1 second after q is off cooldown or something. It has killed me several times and denied many kills I SHOULD have had, I've watched my own replays and everything, super annoying.

Also, if you q a creep that is about to die, your q goes off but doesnt heal or deal dmg, and then it goes on cd, like u hear the animation going off and all, but nothing happens and in combination with your passive being up, this can really make or break a lane, because not only will you have a cooldown on your q, your crimson rush will be on 0 too, so you wont have your passive for a long time.

The champion is completely broken right now and I don't think I wanna play it until it's fixed, play 1 game of vlad and you will notice it, the q cooldown bug is old tho, it has been around ever since i started playing him in s2.

Edit 1: Forgot to mention, graves smokescreen cancels your q too, making it go on cooldown without doing anything.

I'd bet $100 a red won't acknowledge posts about Vlad.

Its like they refuse to talk about him.

Why not? Is it hard to fix? Because if they don't fix this problem they might aswell remove the champion until it's fixed imo. Not complaining or anything.

It's not like vlad needs to get his numbers buffed really, he just need a heap of bugfixes.

Bugfixes aren't all that's holding him back.

His impact against competent players is null. He suffers from huge usability issues. He kills himself in order to deal less damage than some other champions who build tankier, along with having no CC or mobility.

Anyway, Riot won't input on him because they don't WANT him to be strong. They're going to treat him just like the old Vlad, keeping him just below average because they don't really know what they want him to be. Its another rework they pushed forward too early.

vlad q isn't bugged. He is on a trash tier level rework that riot did to him. He lost 50% effectiveness that he had in his old build. His new build has made him literally 50% weaker then he was before. Only way to fix him would be to buff crimson rush duration, remove the slow his e does to him. Things on those lines. But instead riot will just buff his heal values or damage values, til he is overpowered then nerf him to the ground and never allow him into play again like he is now for another 5 years.

Good job riot you do nothing like always. [zombie-brand-clap]

You got a point in what you're saying, but his q IS most definetly 100% not working properly. Riot dunno what to do with the champion. It really sucks because it's fun to play vlad, too bad he doesn't work if your enemy has more than 1 braincell, and the new flash item(protobelt) doesn't really make up for his flawed design either.... I just think it's ridiculous how he has PROBLEMS waveclearing with a 6 item build, because he can only damage a certain amount of creeps, that shit triggers me when I play him.

I also noticed that sometimes when you Q on 0-1 stack and you don't have Crimson Rush you get the high heal and high damage as if you had 2 stacks, it's really bugged right now...
