How does one deal with Vladimir?

outsustain him.

Anything with a decent early game beats Vlad. Vlad's CDs are reeeaaaaaalllllyyy long early game so you want to wait for him to use his Q on a minion then go in to trade. Don't forget that baiting out his pool is still a win because it costs 20% of his current HP to use

By banning him. Way too op rn

Champions that can repeatedly get into his face and murder him, especially early game when his cooldowns are still long like , . Also, punish him by roaming. Early is just useless, he usually wants to farm some items before grouping and teamfighting. But early on his cooldowns are long, and he has no cc, and honestly it takes forever for him to take turret, so just shove him in, and roam. As for old school counterpicks, any mage that outranges him will do well and good or is impossible for him I imagine.

if mid play a long range poke mage like or . If top play someone who can all in and outsustain him like or

Ban him. And anyone else who is basically untargetable 100% of the time once they have Zhonya's.

- "YOU CALLED?"

if you're a bruiser DO NOT BUY EXECUTIONER IN LANE

rush then

congrat, he can't 1v1 anymore can't poke you down anymore

I feel like these would be pretty solid picks vs vlad
