Vlad's base stat 'buffs' don't make sense. I'd like a little clarification please!

Armor

Growth: 3.3 from 3.5 -->3.3

Are they really calling this his 'early game base stat buff'?

He's gaining 7 HP. And losing 11 by level 18.

He's gaining 1.12 armor. And losing 2.48 by level 18.

Neither are significant values, but it seems like you're making the change just to say you 'buffed his early game'.

He's got a more 'interactive' and 'healthy' laning phase now, and you guys said you could buff his early game to compensate. So why are his early game 'buffs' being compensated by late game nerfs at all? Especially on his Q, W, E, and R? I mean, the bases, ratios...pretty much every aspect of every skill ate significant nerfs, including passive.

He was already weak. He was made less reliable. He isn't reliant on a toxic aspect anymore...so really, where are the buffs? All he's getting are nerfs to every aspect of him, except his base AD... Even with the E change, his initial burst went down because his Q is so weak now.

Stashu's actually taking a lot of feed-back and listening, but nobody's talking about this. They're just talking about the 'feel' and E overwhelming the potential healing on Q, and the clunky feel of his E. That's it.

Hell, nobody's even mentioning the 'haste' on Blood Rush not doing anything at all. Compare Trundle's "brief" slow on Q to Vlad's "brief" haste on Q. Vlad's has absolutely no impact and is probably an excuse to pull power out of somewhere else on his kit. The MS he gets is negligible, and the duration makes it so even if it were a 1000% haste, it wouldn't have an impact.

I'm not on the PBE, so I can't directly question through the PBE board, unfortunately to try to bring these question to light. :/

Bump!

I'd like some clarification from Stashu or someone that can get a quick answer from him!
