Please for the love of god buy or I just had a 45 minute ranked game that I somehow kept alive, slowly getting objectives. We had an and a . BOTH of these people can get . But who ended up buying it? ME, the Tank who in NO WAY did ANY DAMAGE. Vladimir is kit is 40% WEAKER when you buy these items. Don't tell me that I'm not "peeling enough" for you, don't tell our Midlaner that they did crap, because this doesn't work. Listen to your Jungler, you might actually learn from what they say

item 3033 is very underrated on my opinion. Yes, item 3036 gives you more damage, but it is only against champions which have more health than you. In addition it only gives more damage to YOU.

item 3033 tends to be more useful in general because even against the squishier damage dealers, this item tends to be more useful, assuming they rely on sustain to survive (ex: Akali , enemy ADCs with lifesteal, etc), in addition to being useful against healers like Soraka and Sona . Also, by taking out their sustain, you are helping your entire team to kill them, especially during teamfights.

In addition, there are still many champions which are very tanky and rely on sustain. Examples include Volibear DrMundo Zac Trundle Illaoi Nasus Darius Warwick - Against those champions, item 3033 may potentially be more useful because taking out their sustain means they have way less effective HP. Most of those champions do not have other good defensive mechanisms and rely on their sustain to survive, so taking out their sustain will mean they are way easier to kill.

Most people see item 3036 and think "this item gives me more damage, so it is a better choice most of time" but I usually only take this over item 3033 if no one on their team rely on sustain to survive and they have a tank or fighter which do not have sustain, the sustain is small enough to be unnoticeable, or does not work during a combat, like Rammus Malphite Sejuani Gragas Poppy Sion Skarner Shen RekSai

Because cutting a champion's sustain can mean the difference between them killing you, or you killing them.

The only times I advocate for item 3036 is its synergy with item 3153 . Even then, it's not 100% certainly the right call all the time.

Skarner does a shit ton of damage if you build the item 1400 right core item 3078 before going tank. Still, I see your point.

Speaking as a Vladimir main for 2 and a half years, do it. Then y'all might actually notice Vladimir isn't as OP as y'all think.

I can kind of understand people not building Morellos. It's a sub par item outside the grievous wounds, and a lot of mages can't apply it effectively anyway, on account of the target needing to below hp AND you needing to hit the tank with a spell.

Executioners calling however, there's no excuse. 'Any' physical damage. Bloody Darius Bleed applies it. The adcs, the people who buy it most often, have the job of focusing down the sustain tanks like mundo, illaloi, vlad. Even if not, derp an Ashe W and clip the tank, boom, your sub 300 gp investment just did ~10% Max HP damage to the ulting Mundo.
