We forgot the real menace

I understand the complaints about Pyke, as a person who plays Pyke and mains Support I get it.

But I love how when Pyke gets overtuned people forget Vladimir exists.

-Got no skill shots -Heals by damaging you without runes -Gets to use item 3211 to not only do damage but heal more -Has an escape thats even more hard to deal with because at least you can hit pyke in his w to stop him from getting away

Just nerf him Im not saying gut the guy BUT running around like hahaha i heal too much for you to kill me so die IS ANNOYING

And for that one guy who thinks I have some audacity or something to mention Cowl over Visage item 3065 and Vladimir ARE EVEN MORE ANNOYING

This just in: Spirit Visage is garbage on anyone that wants to climb as Vlad except in the niche situations where healing+MR will actually make a difference over more damage.

This just in: W is a 20% true damage nuke to Vlad.

E is up to a 8% true damage hit to Vlad.

Just walk away from him when empowered Q is up. If he doesn't start a fight with it's momentum he can't cheese anything and your team can likely focus him before he starts doing what he does.


Vlad can't perform in the current meta without a strong lead unless the game gets to 30+ minutes of him farming.

He's absolute trash early if you force any all-ins, which you likely can. If he falls behind he's doomed for the rest of the game unless you let him free-farm. He has no real agency over lane. YOU lose it. He doesn't win it.

This just in Vlad is still a bullshit champion without visage

The fact that you think item 3211 is an issue (not even actually SV) on him shows that you simply don't know how to play against him.

Literally just all in him after forcing his W at any point before 20 minutes and you beat him.

Yes item 3065 is bad on Vlad but don't act like Vlad isn't broken S+ tier cancer, it's dishonest.

He's not. He's regular A tier cancer.

As a former Urgot onetrick, its hard to accept your champ is broken, it was hard for me too, but I stayed strong and diversified my champ pool and I'm better for it.

Until he runs around in circles around people spamming Q with his dumb little laugh

You were Nunu. Literally just Q away from him (since he had rylai's) or CC him for your team.

Bro 1 this aint about match history, 2 if ya payed attention there were 2 afks on my team me irelia and a sol were wreckin those fools, 3 I wouldnt expect the person with a Vlad icon to understand why everyone hates that champion

I understand why people hate the champion. Trust me. I've been there almost since he was released. I know it all.

That doesn't mean there aren't things you can do to play better against him, however.

Excuse me for trying to enlighten you to his crippling weaknesses early-mid game.

By that logic i could just take summoner 14 and kill him level one but late game vlad is the problem, im fine with a champ that can be safe in lane its running around being a drain tank with 1 tank item and then just straight ap but still only being weak vs ignite or insta burst
