if Vladimir's Q healed off of a percentage of hp damage

As an oppressive top/mid laner that needs very little effort to outlane his opponents, he needs some counterplay. Right now his sustain through his q is too rewarding without a window of counterplay for his opponents.

What i want to suggest is that if vladimir uses his Q on an opponent with an active shield morg Q, sion W, Diana W, etc, he should be only be able to heal off the percentage of the damage dealt to their hp, and that any damage dealt with Q blocked by any shields ahould not reward vladimir with percentage spellvamp. The percentage health vamped should relatively be similar to the base hp gain he currently gets

If you think about it, it's kind of weird that he steals the same amount of hp whether his Q is mitigated by a shield or not.

This is NOT a QQ thread, I just think its kind of weird how vlads q heal works right now and the spamability iin the lane s a little too extreme at 4 seconds for both q and e at max level. I don't see too many vlads these days, but when I went on my gold smurf for ranked 5s, Vladimir was a frequent pick in the toplane. That's where I noticed his presence during laning phase.

What do you think?

He has plenty of counterplay. If you all in him, he is forced to either run way or be killed. He lacks burst damage, and is susceptible to being bursted down. He is all about poking and bullying his lane. If you can stop him from bullying, he has nothing. Now, I would agree he needs some quality of life changes. There is a reason that someone that fun with that much potential is such a rare pick.

Sigh I forgot that the LoL forum consists of mostly players that dont want their (rofl i can press q an e) champ receive some balance...

Reason why you hardly see reds post in actual decent threads instead you find 7+ reds on a post that says "thanks riot for being so nice! Here's some cool comic that I made for Rioters!"....

oh did i miss the "low elo" between "mostly players" woops forgot.
