Thanks for turning Vlad into just another mage.

Vlad used to be the only mage that late game could actually duke it out with hard scaling melee bruisers and actually win most 1v1 match-ups. Now he's just like every other mage, except with much shorter range, hugely telegraphed abilities, and even the ability to dodge his AoE by fighting in creep waves, or hiding behind eachother.

He needs about double the healing he currently gets, and give his AoE back, that or give him some real utility or ranged skill shot, something, anything. Even though he was under-tuned old Vlad had been my favorite champ for years b/c of his late game scaling and stupidly strong sustain. That's all gone now with the removal of Wota and the amped healing on his E. Heck his old Tides of Blood actually became a healing ability late game, now it just kills him.

Yeah, its nice that his early game isn't a pile of trash anymore, but his scaling is terrible. He went from a late game hyper carry with terrible early game, to a mediocre early game and no late game to speak of #notworth.
