Just personal preference as there are other champs i wouldn't mind seeing in a video or getting some lore love but why no vladimir? With the recent beautiful amumu video (which i personally loved) it kind of struck me that hey we're getting to see a bit more of champs we haven't seen much of before and expanded on amumu's lore giving us questions to ask (which i know some disagree but i feel it does). Vlad i believe is one of the oldest champs yet ive never seen in video besides his champ overview. It would be interesting to see him in action as well as reveal that he is in fact a psychopath obsessed with blood and not the guy confused to be the vampire of league of legends. Opinions?

It actually seems like the lore team themselves are confused as to who Vladimir is. The original lore presented him as a sort of Noxian Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, a suave and charming character who is subconsciously fascinated by the flow of blood, which makes him impulsively driven to hurt and kill others. His League Judgment also showed that his "condition" causes him a great deal of discomfort, as he is aware of his "addiction" to slaughter but doesn't want to accept it as a part of himself. That is why most of his dialogue is puns, he wants a relaxed and lighthearted life in spite of his condition.

Meanwhile, his new lore portrays him as an insidious mustache-curling villain of a blood mage who works with LeBlanc and Swain to first take over Noxus, then the rest of the world.

So basically, there are two Vladimirs in the lore who are quite different from each other and Riot themselves seem to have problems figuring out his identity.

I personally would like to see vlad as sort of free lance doing what ever what he wants heck they could even make him a mercenary though I will confess that would be a little bit cheesy however a little cheese in LoL isn't a bad thing
