Some very basic math I did on Vladimir's Q buffs on OBE

So I did some Math on Q changes

The changes are as follows if you haven't seen already:

135+(0.55)AP going to 160+(.6)AP on damage at max rank

Empowered Q going from 270+(1.1)AP to 296+(1.11)AP damage (they are making it deal 85% more damage instead of 100% more)

So the math looks like as follows:

The most popular Vladimir build right now according to http://champion.gg/champion/Vladimir is Protobelt, Lucidity Boots, Visage, Rylai's, Hourglass, then Void Staff.

These items give a total of 312.5 AP, including the bonus AP for health calculation from his passive.

With the current Vladimir Normal Q and with this build, no damage Masteries, with no stats from Runes, against a 0MR target, and no ult amp, he would deal 307 damage with a normal max rank Q.

With this build, and max rank Q, he would deal 613.75 damage with an Empowered Q.

With the incoming buffs, his normal Q with this build would deal 347.5 damage at max rank against MR less targets with no damage Masteries or runes (gotta be specific) and without Ult amp, and his Empowered Q would deal 642.875 damage.

Now for the fun math.

The best Vladimir in Korea, Exia Maria, http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/summoner/kr/ExiaMaria Has a very different build.

His build, from what I can determine, looks more like this:

Protobelt, Hourglass, Deathcap, Void staff, Mejai's, Rylai's. I decided to not include boots although he buys them because I got kind of carried away (sorry).

So factoring in both Vladimir's passive and Deathcap's passive, and a fully stacked Mejai's (basically ideal condition of this build), we come to a grand total of 759.75 AP.

With current Vladimir Q, this would deal 552.8625 damage against the types of targets I listed above (lol).

The Empowered would deal 1105.725 damage.

With the buffs, his normal Q will deal 615.85 damage, and his Empowered Q will deal 1139.3225 damage.

This took a bit of time, and I know it doesn't account for the important factors of MR, Magic Pen, and Damage Amps from Runes, Masteries, and Ult.

Thanks for reading this!
