I just love how Vlad is suddenly able to 1v4 with just spirit visage and proto belt

Imagine if Riot games thought it would be a good idea to indirectly buff by buffing the healing effects of by 10% OH WAIT THEY ACTUALLY DID GREAT FUCKING IDEA.

BUFFY MARATHON ON THE TUBE HUH?

seriously most shit in this game at least if your practically full AP you die when you try to 1v3 .. etc but yeah <--- the scaling on this guy is beyond retarded like he should not feel like a dark souls boss after two items this is just beyond me like pick weither the vampire needs to nuke or tank? oh no he DOES BOTH and DOESNT USE MANA EITHER! he needs nerfs too much healing and his AP ratios are over tuned its like 3.0

Seriously, when people were asking for buffs for this champion i was having vietnam flashbacks of this shit happening EVERY game he's in when he's viable. I guess its fair because he is gankable during the laning pha- oh wait he's not. He's retard proof with an absurd amount of damage.

I agree. He is a mistake of a champion, and I main the guy. He probably needs a new passive, it's really boring, yet really, really good.

I was looking forward to his MYMU, but I forgot riot is riot and it didn't solve any problems ofc and it only ruined my fav blood lord skin.

Ok Vlad main here. I know this sounds dumb, but Spirit Visage changes were probably a net neutral, and even a nerf in the early-mid game. Vladimir does damage based on how much AP and health he has, and with SV losing some HP he lost some damage. Healing increase is good for later into the game when you already have a lot of AP. Also I recommend that since you were playing Evelynn that game you should have probably gotten item 3123 , since you can itemize a bit of AD as Eve right?

Seriously, 1V4ing with 2 items means you've fucked up really hard or vlad was so ahead he had 2 items while you don't even have a finished one.

I've been playing a lot of vlad recently and I have to say he's hard to play and he has to put himself in a lot of danger to deal any damage.

He's not braindead in any means, Swain is actually a lot easier to play than him (because he brings a lot of CC). Vlad does a lot of damage but honestly his tank killing isn't that great. If you don't get your empowered Q off you almost never 1-shot an ADC (versus lets say other mages that can 1-shot an ADC without an indication).

Also to deal damage you need to build damage on him now. The amount of AP he gets from HP is actually pretty shiet rn. You need void staff/deathcap if you want to be relevant late game.

He's annoying sure but honestly he's in an okay spot, you probably just don't know how to play against him.

Spellvamp/Revolver/WotA was the problem 4Head

Now he rushes a full tank item and sits in a short lane, so much better :)

The thing is as a vampire thingy health to damage is kind of thematic. But it's like a lot of other oldschool stat conversions. Problematic. (Especially when health is so good in this game for any role)

He can be slippery to melee with a ghost/pooling and immunizes himself to magic damage by items so it makes him an unhealthy... thing...

Hard problem to fix though because even w/o HP ratios spirit visage is just perfect for him.
