Hi this is a sad story of how i played in season 1 and 2 hung up my league gloves for a few years and came back to see my pride and joy of summoners rift corrupted by riot. vladamir took up at least an hour and a half of my days growing up in my late teens and now he is litterally unplayable imo. the healing from his old e and ability to land massive damage to multiple targets was unparrelelled in awesomeness. you could q twice between the start and end of the the stacks on eto maximize healing and really enjoy the amazing feel and creation riot had made. now its different. now its sad. now my favourite champion has been reduced to a shadow of his former glory as my favourite mid and top laner. they will say his q is better now and e is still good but i really dont think they understand how hurt i am as a huge fan of league and especially vlad the crimson reaper. he was special and now i cannot play him due to the abomination the have created in the time of my absence from the best video game in my opinion that has ever been made. i miss his really low cds and his ability to be a lane bully between 7 and 8 and really trying to get him there because of how weak he generally was early. im going to miss being able to stack my e otw to big team fights so i can chunk anyone in range to do ridiculous amounts of healing and damage. he was not broken, he was perfect. i lived with all the nerfs to his damage and passive with a smile because that oringinal kit was something of dreams. now it dosent even make much sense. he feels like the oppisite of dianna at her first release meaning hes the worst because she was awfully balenced starting off and severely op. i just want the old reaper of blood back because thats the guy i spent 400 plus games on over a year on my first account and who i wanna keep playing but cannot bring myself to do because of the atrocities they have commited to him in the rework of toxic demise i like to think of it as. #bringbackvlad #makevladrightagain #OGvlad4life.

Class old kit was inherantly either too strong or to weak with no in-between. If he was stronger then you it was impossible for you to fight him. And vice versa. Now at least he has counterplay and his kit is largely the same. All in all his rework was one of the better reworks in league history.

He is quite complicated atm. Stick with him and he will reward you greatly (mains seem to have a 56%ish winrate in plat+ : http://champion.gg/champion/Vladimir/Middle)

anyway I made this thread a while ago about his main combo, it's not the only one but it's the hardest one to execute: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/1l7KtuVe-this-is-the-full-vladimir-combo-if-executed-right-its-devastating
