Can Vlad have some compensatory buffs after the Rylais nerf?

Blood Magicks··10 votes·2,207 views

I feel the AP and HP nerfs on Rylai will hit Vladimir pretty hard as this is one of his core items and building it is amazing fun. I like to start Rylai, especially in difficult lanes, and the contribution in terms of stats and escape options is lovely.

We're already at a sad winrate of 45-46% and this is justified with LCS abusing Vlad deathballs so much. But we Vlad mains want to play our champ without being a liability on our teams.

Thanks!

oh shush. a good vlad is annoying enough, without rylais slows on top of everything.

Being annoying doesn't win us the game.

sure it does. in the same way that annoying singed wins games. pulls the whole enemy team after you. meanwhile, YOUR team just gets turrets.

Vlad is a teamfighter, not a splitpusher though.

you'd LIKE him to be a teamfighter. but i've always seen him as most effective as splitpusher.

That's pre-rework Vlad and no one really goes for that anymore.

Even then Vlad was a teamfighter. He COULD split push, but he was always a better teamfighter.

R EQ W EQ zhony's EQ W EQ (which doesn't work anymore after W CD nerfs) was what made Vlad good, especially since R EQ popped most ADCs off the bat.

Cmon.. You dont actualy believe they will buff him.. do you? Every time Vlad is actualy playable.. or with decent winrate, the fucking gut him to garbage tier.. it happened so many times before... Meantime.. Vayne or Caith ccan 1 shot kill you. but vlad cant fucking heal.. and actualy do what he is suppose to do...

As a morde main I understand your feelings. As someone who has been here since S1 I want to tell you to move on cause they don't care about vlad.

Vlad buffs confirmed early in the new year by Rioters.

Just FYI.

Build him full AP with stormraider's (12/18/0).

item 3001 item 3158 item 3116 item 3157 item 3135 item 3089 with a 10% CDR runepage.

He's decent, just his early-mid is so pathetically weak. If you don't snowball, you end up a liability for 30 minutes.
