Vladimir Build Guide: S6 Vladimir: Just Add More Health by Ethereal Ezio

Hey guys long time Vlad main, and with the recent changes i have been having some hard choices in itemization. I want to focus more health, as well as cooldown and AP. I have been looking at Deadman's vs. Zhoyna's, how early to build Rylai's and Zhoyna's fully/parts, among other things. I've found myself most successful building a full Health build with Visage DM Warmog's Ryali's Liandry's. But what do you think? Check out my guide and I love some feedback.

He's not going to get nerfed. The only thing Vlad is good for is resilience in lane.

He laughs in the face of bullies, but he can't really accomplish anything himself.

All he's there for is the ult and consistent zoning past laning phase. That's the entire reason he's picked in pro play. To invalidate pressure and ult.

IF HP builds get nerfed, expect sizable buffs for AP builds.

This is exactly the reason why I said his ult needed to be reworked completely as well. Any time he's decent, he'll just be picked for his ult and ability to invalidate pressure.

I build: item 3158 item 3083 item 3065 item 3068 item 3116 item 3152 Can also build (based on situation): item 3157 item 3135 item 3742

Q heals for a lot, you have a decent bit of AP, and you have tons of health. Q will heal for missing health so it heals for a LOT and E deals damage based on AP and Health so it deals... a LOT! Vladimir isn't really a super DPS Mage I would say, but is more of a semi-front line barrier for the team with the damage amp from R.
