Several thousand Vladimir games' player feedback on Vlad rework
I'll skip the introductions and life story. In short, I liked Vlad.
Post-edit edit
After careful consideration and numerous sample games played it's become evident that riot staff members spent little to no time analyzing vladimir before deciding on a rework option which would accurately not tamper heavily with his playstyle. Riot failed at this, miserably, on a level which deems it obvious that they actually give no hoots about champions played mostly by a dedicated and committed player base. I've never uninstalled league of legends in my time playing it since 2011 but I guess five years is enough to throw in the rag. They ruined vladimir plain and simple, and after making an adjustment this half-assed, they clearly wouldn't care enough to even marginally rectify it. Been a nice half decade; Blue Vanity out.
