Pffft This reworked vlad aint shit. Back in the day when there were rune pages and spellvamp stats, I had a build that had over 60% spell vamp ON TOP of his inherent healing. Imagine diving a vlad with like 10%HP left with your whole kit, only for Vlad to press W and
, kill you and walk away with 90% of his health back. XD
Though not the god he once was, vlad still tricky since he is one of few mages that can go either damage or tank. But he has no range and really has to put himself out there to to any damage. I wouldn't pick a melee champ if you can avoid it, and pick ether zoners or good kiters with ranged pokes.
Zoners would be like
and even
though you won't exactly dominate you can atleast breath in the same lane with him and survive till your jungler gets there.
Picks I hate when I play vlad
my health stacking is worthless, grievous lasts way longer because of his DOT effects, and he just fucking hurts.
If you good at stacking his Q you can out sustain vlad once you get that lifesteal passive up, his ult pretty much counters vlads if timed right, and Pressing W only delays that painful Susan Q since it's just a buffed basic attack and IDK why but nasus is really fast and can outrun you and catch up to you with ease.
range health peel, and just bounces back any time you try and dive him, That "Ha-Ha" is so god damn taunting and annoying it makes me grind my teeth every time i fail to kill him when he does that.
you could also run an ADC and most of the time that will play evenly.
