Vladimir needs mana costs or else he's unkillable in the laning phase

Apparentally there's a "Vladimir nerf bandwagon" thing going around. I don't care. Do not just downvote this post because "omg another Vladimir post lemme downvote without reading."

So today I played against Vladimir in mid (as Orianna) and i can honestly say I've never seen a more ridiculous champion.

No matter how much you poke him, he can just heal it up for free every few seconds. I'm sick of it. Whenever his Blood Rush is up, he just runs over to you, deals like 1/3 of your health in damage, and heals most of it back. Please, stop. Nobody in the game should have free healing. At least Soraka with her bullsht heals in lane has to sacrifice for it.

He's unkillable and completely unfair to fight in lane. I don't know how anyone's ever dealt with him before, I really don't. I've honestly never fought against him before this, and he's disgusting.

"Oh just burst him down he can't heal if he's being bursted"

You can't "burst down" a tank. He's just gonna return and get back to full in under 30 seconds.

"If he's a tank then he shouldn't do that much damage and he shouldn't be a problem"

You're right, he shouldn't do much damage if he's a tank. But he does. He just runs up to you with blood rush, uses a Q, and then walks away casually like nothing happened while you're now at like 1/2 health.

"Grevious wounds"

Honestly, his heals are so high grevious wounds doesn't mean sh*t. And if he can't heal then he has a 100-0 kit to kill you before you can do anything.

"His range is low"

Well don't you worry because he has untargetability to safely make his way over to you. And while he's untargetable, his E can go off. Isn't that fun to play against?

(NO.)

I don't wanna see Vladimir again in lane unless he has some kind of nerf. If he has mana costs then at least he won't have FREE HEALING.

woah, 30 whole seconds for a dedicated sustain champion to heal up, not like a mid/late ADC will go to full in 5 with one lifesteal item

Well don't you worry because he has untargetability to safely make his way over to you.

Yeah, let him use his 20second CD untargetability to ENGAGE on you, I'm sure that'll go over really well my dude

just stop talking about vladimir, you have no idea how to fight him lmao

why didn't you build item 3165, which gives grievous wounds against targets below 35% health? you built item 3108 item 3802 item 1058 item 1001 item 3113 but never finished an item? And no one on your team built item 3123

No one should be saying shit about healers when item 3123 is still in the game.

I've done the Orianna vs Vladimir many times, Vlad lacks early waveclear which Orianna is very good at once she gets her item 3802 and then builds it into Vlad's biggest counter which just happens to be her first core item - item 3165. Get a item 3020 item 3135 after that, if he has his item 3065 completed don't bother poking him. Before he finishes it though, destroy him with relentless autoattacks (ori's passive) Q and W. If you're letting him heal up with his Q...it has such a long cooldown. Extended trades are in your favor. It's like fighting annie, you have obvious windows where you should run away. If his bar is almost full for his empowered Q..first of all you should almost never get hit with that.

You were actually playing a more ridiculous champion...

Praise the sun you did not fight Vlad in his previous incarnation

Maybe you shouldnt try to poke fucking Vlad, you are Orianna, you dont need any single thing in the early game but farm to scale and buy your items to fucking carry. God I hate people who expect every matchup to be the same, I bet you tried to 1v1 him 15 times and died every single time then flamed your team...
