Here are some links to r/Vladimirmains. Take a look if you're curious about our opinions [Spoiler alert] We're pretty upset.

I know Vlad has been in a weird state of balance, but the damage nerf they're planning right now is a lot more impactful than people think.

Edit: We've been expecting a nerf for a long time now. TLDR for the Reddit links is that Riot was originally intending a base hp and hp scaling nerf for Vlad, but have changed their minds and moved to a damage nerf. We were willing to accept the hp nerfs. It would make Vlad harder to play, but the mains and OTPs would be fine. The damage nerf really hurts Vlad's ability to scale, and since he's a pure damage late game champ, it just kinda defeats the purpose of picking Vlad in the first place. It's not that we're opposed to a nerf (we knew it was coming), it's just that this particular nerf is going to do much more than just push Vlad out of the meta.

OR

Maybe I'm overreacting, I'll have to see what it's like on live.

Maybe now he'll stop perma pushing the wave and bullying people, then outscaling.

Vlad needs a good nerf.

who cares what they think, the champion is just getting those "we screwed up on the rework" nerfs where he's unplayable until they rework him again

Disappointing that so many people believe Vlad is some kind of brainless faceroll champion despite having such a unique play style and role.

Vlad is S tier top, S tier mid, S tier bot. He obviously needs more than a slap on the wrist.

But to be fair, every S tier champ needs huge nerfs. They are so busted that the meta is literally Pick a random S tier champ and go to any lane.

I honestly liked playing against his pre-rework kit so much better... and I found it more fun to play as, too.

The cream rises to the top. Nerf his health, nerf his damage. THE CREAM WILL RISE TO THE TOP.

Just you wait and see.
