@WAARGHbobo, what was the Vlad taunt that got edited out?

I appreciate that you wrote one or two after all the requests, but unfortunately they didn't make the cut. Can us fans at least know what they were?

After all Darkin and Noxus are the two factions Vlad is supposed to be related to, and as it is he has no interactions with both. A lot of fans would really appreciate having some canon in place.

(Pssst - if it didn't get published, then it's not canon...) ;-)

I cut it early I believe. Something about not glimmering enough. --I decided using "twilight" to mock someone was to esoteric.

We are a lot of Vladimir fans out there, who are starving due to lack of canon lore. We'll take anything we can get, even if it didn't end up making the cut.

Agreed. After seeing that a line or two might be there for Aatrox to speak to Vlad, I was pretty excited. I would love to know what he was going to say.

Didn't this exact thing happen with the Swain rework? A taunt for Vlad that got cut out?

I'm curious: why did they remove the lines in question?

Why bother setting the Varus comic up to say hemomancy has a connection to the Darkin if not to display it at all when they have the chances? It wouldn't have been hard to have Aatrox say like 'you use our magic well' or something, literally any hint to the lore they might be working on with him, like the other champions(Zoe, Anivia, Morgana (who are also not top laners btw)) they did this for - but a Twilight joke is all they've got? That's not even to mention that nearly a quarter of Vladimir games are played top, much less than any of those three.

I'm really, really disappointed with this, especially on the back of there being no taunt for him from Swain.

Not a Vlad Main but I was shocked as well. I expect him to have an interaction too.

Ah well... I hope in Varus future VO update, varus would have an interaction with him.

Do any champs have any interactions with Vlad?
