I dont get why you changed the animation, old one was perfect. It was the reason I bought the skin. New one is barely visible and if theres a minion or something in front of you, you cant see it. Is there a chance you will change it back ?

Vladimir is among those champions that need a serious update on their Legendary skins, cause this shit aint worth being called a Legendary at this day and age.

Old one looks terribly outdated. Just some random orange color while the new one actually looks like blood. Why would you want that back?

It looks outdated cuz its a pic from like 5-6 years ago. Obviously they can update it, but my problem is whyd they change it from 5 glorious lines to 1 shitty line that is so thin you can barely see it.

As the resident Vladposter I can tell you now that Riot isn't going to answer you. It's just not on their radar right now. When a Vlad update gets announced, then they will scour the boards for every post, plea and complaint. But now, it's just too early for them to do anything when there is no consensus among their team on the champ's concept and direction.

That doesn't mean you have to keep quiet about the miserable state Vlad is in at the moment, of course.

I get it, but Ive been posting this since they did this change and not a single answer. The part that bugs me is who the fuck thought that 1 shitty line of blood is a good replacement for 5 big ass lines. Just gets me mad. Btw, do you mean miserable state of his visuals or gameplay also ?

I dream bigger than that, I dream of blood sorcery as seen through the eyes of an art team that is far superior to the one that made Vlad in 2010. I dream of a Q where you can hear your enemy's arteries ripping open and blood gushing through his skin. I want a Q, which, when delivering a particularly large heal or killing an enemy, is also accompanied by a laughter and a line because fuck I'm tired of this 3 minute VO:

"You will pay for my mistakes."

"Thin the herd."

etc

And I mean miserable mostly in the fact that 3 out of his 7 skins are legacy, 1 is a recolor, only 2 are 1350 or above and the base model is utter suffering with no modern alternative as the last skin was 2.5 years ago and while nicely done utterly underwhelming to the power fantasy.

But also in terms of gameplay because I don't know whoever expects us to feasibly use Phase rush as Stormraider replacement but they must hate fun. Also rip free magicpen, now you have to have a dash for that. These new runes feel so stupid, unnatural and gimmicky on an AoE battlemage I just don't enjoy him as much anymore.

okay rant over

just saying of all the things that could be better you focus on this?

Cmon man, why you gotta do me like that. I focus on this cuz this is story and art board. I also made countless threads about his gameplay since his rework cuz it sucked dick in the begginning. Talked about his runes and how I cant find a really good one on him anymore, I check vlad mains reddit constantly, etc. I'd like for him to get a full vgu, not fuckin irelia and swain. I love his theme and Id like to play him every game but I just cant. So I wanted to at least get a little win for his blood lord skin, but ofc they ruined that shit too.
