Why is there no Vladimir changes ?

He has a 80% ban rate for few patches now. Everbody is just building him tank with some AP, and I actually saw Vlad jungle with cinderhulk/SV doing some deeps with E. I just don't see how did they think that the rework will make him less toxic. Yeah, there's counterplay on Q now but in exchange he can heal for 1k++ later on and he gets dmg on E by building tank, which is just dumb. Why keep him on 80% ban rate for so long ? Just make him more of an AP mage so he builds AP to do dmg and with his passive, he can still get to keep that tanky feel. Also, if you fix Q by shifting the power from the crimson rush to the normal Q, he will feel less clunky to play too.

Because people finally wised up and realized building Grievous Wounds guts him. Considering a reliable source of GW only costs 800g, its not that hard to do. He's legit sitting at a 46% win rate, which places him in the bottom 10 champs for win rate.

Didn't they literally just do that?

Edit: yeah patch 6.13 changes to him: Passive - Crimson Pact BONUS HEALTH TO AP RATIO 1 ability power per 25 bonus health ⇒ 40 bonus health, AP TO BONUS HEALTH RATIO 1 health ⇒ 1.4 health per 1 ability power Q - Transfusion DAMAGE 80/100/120/140/160 ⇒ 75/90/105/120/135, ABILITY POWER RATIO 0.45 ⇒ 0.55

Vladimir's playstyle is inherently toxic. There's literally no way to fix his kit without completely replacing every single ability.
