hello! I play a big pool of champions, but mostly those champions like orianna, swain, vladimir... So the point is that vladimir combo E and then into the sanguine pool (W) makes him back to the surface, is a very irritating combo, or better said it stops you from making plays. This is one little thing that could help towards fixing him, because now, to be honest he is useless. I played him correctly and i found out how he is meant to be played, but in tf, to be honest when you try to peel for someone and be evasive at the same time, there is no point cuz the back to surface quicker cuz of E makes you lose a lot of teamfights. In my playstyle it makes you lose every teamfight because of this. I see that you wanted to make vladimir more predictable... But i think you went too far.. He lost spellvamp healing which is. BIG loss, he lost passive tankiness, he has only 2.5 sec to do plays with crimson rush, which is very predictable and they just go away from it for a split second then they engage on you (only solution to this is more time duration which i can think of at this moment) then you made a flaw in his sanguine pool (w) which makes you instant on surface when using your E, (0damage if you dont use E (before your E maxes out on duration, you get cced or they run away or hide behind minions, so its completely useless in teamfights. Ultimate is also useless, i only like the pop effect like zed, but he has a lot more burst and you buff him more and more which is interesting... Ultimate pop and that item pop+ thunderlord proc+ qss doesnt remove anymore... So i see you want to have zed in competitive play, but a lot of people are complaining, that you massively buff juggernauts, marksmans, but mages stay behind... There will be only assasins mid and are already.. Play yasuo,zed or talon gg easy right? No point and no counter to it

I like your reworks a lot overall, that you want to put weaknesses into no brain champions... (Or more predictive play) But to be honest point and click ult ww... And those kinds... Those arent fun.. With mages you went a bit too far... The results are seen in winrates..

I would like to get a rioter opinion about this, why such big weakness input into vladimir... Passive nerf,q nerf, w nerf, E nerf (minion block+duration+not insta dmg) R nerf And at last his core item nerf. Spellvamp... To end my essay so to say xD: Pros: +better early laning +more predictive play against him/ or possible to evade +more fun cuz of the crimson rush dmg booster

Cons: -very big healing nerf -sanguine and tides (w+e) dont combo up -less tankiness -extremely hard or almost no posibility to outplay by comboing -extremely short and predictive crimson rush. short window, then almost no posibility to get it for 16 sec

Would like to hear your opinion about him. Thanks!

I'm not sure why people haven't figured it out yet. You can E-W, without canceling either. A maxed out E charge will cancel pool, but you can charge up E while you're in pool. It takes a bit to get used to, but it's there. You can also Q while channeling E. Just can't AA during it.
