Vladimir in game is no longer anywhere near his lore

I feel like this is unlike Nocturne and Veigar, they both are still a lot similar in game to their lore.

But I feel like for Vlad this isnt true. And while I think there are quite a few champions above him in rework quality, I do think he should get an Ezreal or a suspected Morgana level rework. Where it is mostly just a visual update.

And while I adore his puns (and think if he gets an update he still needs a few of those in there) Having 10 voice lines where ALL of which are puns, I feel is a GROSS undermine of his now massive character.

New Vladimir is absolutely insane being one of the oldest humans in league lore, and also one of the more strange. I feel like he could do very well with a visual update. (Passive crimson butterflies around him?)

I actually like his voice lines. He's in the same boat as Jax, after centuries of being so powerful you tend to stop taking things seriously.

Would like to see some Vlad buffs tho..

Agreed, model is outdated and silly (and not to mention, glitched) and his voicelines makes it hard to take him seriously as a centuries old pseudo-vampire.

Thats because in-game Vlad is just one of his past lives.

He really needs a gameplay update (again) because right now he's played as a team wide burst mage ulting and try to blow people up as fast as he can, when he should, imo, be playing like a drain tank/mage.

I don't play Vlad much these days as I don't like the burst mage playstyle he's adopted and I'm not good at it either. I'd really like to see his upfront damage nerfed in return for something else.

Also something needs to be done about his clown pants. For a blood sorcerer, he has a horrible sense of fashion.
