Vlad probably has a few things he needs (though I think mechanics wise the rework is great), but I noticed yesterday that if you cast his E, it interrupts his movement breifly. For his old E, this was fine, but this spell is intended to be used while moving and chasing.
Is it intended to still have a cast time? It makes the ability clunky to use and kind of disappointing when I can't follow people because one of my spells is stunning me.
Blue Vanity2 votesDude they ruined vlad and they'll only make him worse. His days are done for, sorry to tell you. Search "vlad" or "vladimir" in the boards and tick the box for "riot staff commented"
You'll find they've browsed past every vlad page. Aka he no longer exists to them.
Expect vlad and yorick to be playing cards together in the back corner while every other champion gets selected to perform in the rift of justice from now on. The days of vlad being viable are finished permanently and riot won't make any effort to fix this.

Fondling Gems1 votesYeah I feel the same way about Taric w. You want to use it so you can get your stun cd up but if you use it you slow down and then can't hit them at all.
Verxint1 votesI hadn't thought about Tarics W, but there is a difference - Taric just casts and is done, and it targets an ally
Vladimir is trying to use E while chasing or keeping up with a fight, and he's already immobile. Taric at least has his stun on another ability.
But in both cases compared to some new champs spell casts they're really clunky
Fondling Gems1 votesI was just talking about in terms of abilities having an annoying cast time. Taric usually has to stun to go in, then heal for max ability efficiency, then their stun ends, you w, and the channel lets them get out of aa range so you can't get your stun back up
Verxint1 votesYeah I was really only saying that it's especially annoying for vlad

Indeed it is. Indeed it is.
WitchQueen Annie1 votesAll part and parcel of their plan to make Vladimir impossibly hard to play and with most of his damage unable to hit anything when it matters...
