Ok, in light of the new skin, the lack of voice effects, and basically proof that they can do very little to spice up such an old, outdated, and pretty terrible model, I just wanted to put this poll here both out of curiosity if everyone agrees he needs a rework/update, at LEAST visually from the ground up, and maybe, hopefully, someone at Riot will see this...
The problem with Vlad is he is simply too old to simply update his voice lines. Like it works for Lux and Lucian because their visuals and gameplay are still fine, but Vlad needs a full visual and audio relaunch, probably with some gameplay changes to push him towards either being a blood mage, or a vampire.
He really does need it. Right now, hes just a generic vampire like drain mage that if allowed to exist, wins the game automaticly at mid game unless hes an idiot. I think his kit is ok, but most certainly needs some tweeks (good example being BASE healing on q on minions should be reduced by a bit, not just empowered q, but the visuals and voice lines most certainly need an update. Base vlad is just a pale nerd that only talks in blood puns, instead of some ancient monster like being whos basically immortal and has learned a powerful hemomancy technique from LITERAL DARKIN.
He 100% needs a VU, I'm praying he gets one in 2020.
He need full rework not only visual, this champ is one of the "broken"
