@Riot @Meddler Any idea of what's going to happen to my bro Vladimir?

Now let me preface this one thing. I am a Vladimir main. Yes, I am a Vladimir main (https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Toastersaot). Yes I am Low Elo. However, I am somewhat concerned with the recent spike in Vladimir play in the Professional Scene.

Although this may not help that much, /R/VladimirMains has compiled a list (or series of related comments) on nerfs/changes that may leave him viable in Solo que without becoming overwhelming in competitve. This is the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/VladimirMains/comments/5zxegw/if_riot_had_to_nerf_vladimir_which_nerfs_would/

I personally believe that the damage amplifier on his ultimate could be changed, as most Solo que teams will not be able to capitalize on its power, and although it is visible it does feel a bit like hidden power (not the worst case of it, but it doesn't feel like I'm doing more damage to the enemy until I have already done my damage, and also I know someone at Riot likes that buzzword).

If you ever read this, thank you for the work you do at trying to balance this game. Although there were a couple mistakes with how this game has been changed ( becoming a support, another rework becoming a more likely possibility everyday) the year of 2017 has looked much more promising and fun for League in general with Sandbox mode, an extremely well done full VGU , and what seems to be a greater emphasis on communication between Riot and the community, which has seemingly died out Blizzard other companies.
