Vlad really has no counterplay past 1~2 items
Over 5 seconds of invulnerability with pool + hourglass, being able to charge his E while in pool and then aoe nuke your whole team with R + E.
Like wtf can you do about R Q E W E Q? Hes untargetable for like the full combo and he can kill whole teams and heal for over 1000 while untargetable, its beyond absurd.
It doesnt even matter if you put him 0-5, give him 10 mins and he'll do the exact same shit, now if you get a bad player on your team that feeds him early game? Games over.
Can this champ actually get the nerfs it deserves, this has been going for months and months, hes pick or ban in high elo and everyone ignores this, and of course the pro-mage boards also completely glosses over this.
