RoA on vladimir?!

just giving a look at all the item I end up wondering how RoA was cost efficient for vladimir... I tried once building 4 RoA and a Deathcap just for fun and the result was pretty sick... no CDR tho.

still 500Health=+12.5AP 100AP=+140Health with deathcap giving 162AP=226.8 health increasing RoA by 49health and 39.375AP

so in the end RoA give 689health and 151.875AP it's far more than Rylai's, Lyandri's, Hextech belt, or Luden's; and just for 2700 gold.

then as for comparing the 25% healing gain from the 15% of the hextech gunblade... Q heal for 25% of base damage value and 60% of AP scaling damage ratio. So hextech gunblade increase by +60% healing from the flat value compared to the healing. and increase the AP increase of healing by 9%, while Spirit Visage increase AP healing by 0.875%.

Just wondering how gold efficient would be to go... deathcap, RoA, Abyssal, gunblade, Spirit Visage, Lucidity boots?

A large portion of the gold on Catalyst and RoA is the max mana and mana sustain. It's just not efficient on Vlad.

why even bother building RoA? he has no need for mana so that's a whole bunch of wasted stats right there. He doesn't even benefit from the second passive of the item so he cannot even gain sustain through that so that's another thing pointless on him. RoA is also an item you would need to rush in order for it to be useful... which means you are spending a lot of time on item 3010 ... which gives only health (and a very small amount of AP due to his passive).

You are making his early game be even more difficult for no reason other than getting some random item he really doesn't need. Yeah you get higher stats in the late game when you have a full build but how often are you going to reliably reach that late game and is it even worth it when you can just get another item like Rylais or Luden's and get extra benefits that aren't just stats?

You can finish Rylai's Crystal Scepter 100 gold earlier and it will give you the same health and more AP right when you finish it. RoA eventually gives more health from its stacks, but it doesn't have the slow passive.

You can finish Protobelt 200 gold earlier and it will give you the same health and the same AP right away plus 10% cdr. RoA still eventually gives more stats but it doesn't have the extremely valuable dash + burst damage.

I think either of those choices would be better than a RoA
