Is Vladimir's Rework a Big Fat Nerf?

After seeing the changes to Vlad, I'm worried that Vladimir is going to be one of the shittiest champs for Patch 6.9. :/

Yes they're a pretty huge nerf. If they don't change the numbers I think his win rate will likely be under 40 percent.

He is definitly worse off now than on live now, and on live he still has spellvamp... it is stupid.

Indeed. At a time when Spell Vamp is being removed (it was core to his kit), his sustain, damage, and reliability is being further undermined by the rework.

Correct. It is. Its nothing but a big nerf and so on that ground shouldn't proceed. Vlad gets nothing positive from this rework, he's just hard nerfed all across the board (and this is a champ with less then 50% win rate).

His damage and healing have taken a nerf lv 9+ however in return he gains a good chunk of mobility and a massive aoe slow. I feel like his team fighting is buffed and his laning phase is down lv 9+ but up early game.

It's... uhm... not really a nerf. His healing is still pretty decent and now scales with his health.

This, and his new E also scales with HP spent.

I'm not going to make any predictions on where that leaves him power wise, As I'm pretty sure that this will lead him into a far tankier build. (and he gets move benefit from Hp from his passive now too) Chances are, he won't be played the same way that he does now.

its hard to get a feel for him since warmogs is currently disabled on pbe and it will probably be one of his best items. also i think his passive is bugged and giving even less AP->HP than intended.
