Vlad may have the safest laning phase aside from kench but he is at least good late.

from what i could tell before, was punished heavily for using his immunity in the shape of chunking himself, but now he heals that back up no problem at all. W retreat to tower, full heal off minions. He wont put much pressure on you, but then you cant exactly dive him without the turret shredding you and him circling tower in his w.

he gets pretty strong late game too it would be nice to be able to shut him down early.
