Vladimir buff, hear me out
Ok so I've done a bit of research as to any possible buffs to Vladimir in his numbers or stats and have found that people are extremely against that because a very skilled Vladimir can win lane (but you could say that about any champion I suppose). However what I propose as an avid Vladimir player is that there are two buffs that would make him more viable without making him broken as all hell.
- Allow his e stacks to progressively decrease, similar to Jinx's q stacks. Why I ask this is because it would make his e a little easier to manage and maintain because I hate having just missed 4 and being dropped down to nothing, it would be easier to have it drop down to 3 or hell even lose have his stacks (dropping to 2) in order to make it easier for Vlad to maintain his e stacks. I say this because it doesn't really make sense that jinx is the only champion i can think off the top of my head that loses her stacks progressively while similarly to Jax's passive he loses them all at once.
- Give Vlad's W a constant movement speed buff as it once did, but decrease the movement speed buff. I often feel like Vladimir doesn't really have any sort of escape in fights besides his w and even that only lasts 2 seconds before Vladimir gets smashed, and I can understand the counter-argument that "He goes untargetable so it's ok". But I will say that fizz can do the same thing but his only penalty is that he loses mana, however Fizz's is a much faster gap closer, can jump over walls, and has a much shorter cd than vlad's. To top it off Vladimir loses a considerable amount of hp whenever he uses his w and it is on a very long cd so it would not be as if he can spam it to get away, much like fizz or nidalee can spam their escapes/gap closers.
TLDR: 1. Allow Vlad to have his e progressively decrease in stacks rather than all at once 2. Give Vlad's w a constant movement speed buff for the duration, but decrease the movement speed amount (IF YOU MUST).
