Well, to be honest, there's a single champion that I really want, everyone else is extra, so that alone lowers the sum by 200k. It should be easily doable in 2 years, unless I want to grind my ass off. Problem is, two years are a long time, no idea what will happen in the meantime DotA 2, etc.

Vlad went on sale, which you would think they would do that timed just after the buffs / after the buffs were announced in the patch preview to generate more sales. But they could also be using the sale on him to gauge interest in the champ to see if he is worth taking the time to analyze and buff.

In my recent string of ranked games, I've seen shaco's just facestomping the enemy jungle and ganking like bosses. It's just surprising because there were virtually no shaco's just 2-3 weeks ago, and suddenly there's this huge surge of pretty skilled ones. Has he suddenly become fotm? I realize the patch preview mentions of shaco buffs, but I'm referring to games played before the preview release.

He's really strong on Dominion so it's likely that many shaco fans played him there and then sort of got "in the mood" to play him again on SR.

Shaco has been really strong ever since the box "bugfixes". It just took a while until people realized it as he was very unpopular before and "bugfix" doesn't seem to make people think "buff".
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

hm i used to play a lot of shaco back in s1 when he was permabanned, but haven't touched him since.Time to start brushing up on him, because he's probably the most fun champ to play in the game, and I didn't realize how much the bugfix really helped him.

he got his rylais fixed.

As soon as people figure that out, he'll be OP again.



Btw IMO AP Shaco is amazing, even a double box can bring an AP or AD carry to deceive -> knives death range and the endless poking and uncatchability is just awesome. Not to mention the fact you can solo baron at 15min and no one expects it .. .

I really dont think vlad is in a bad spot. He forces the enemy to play aggressive at early levels, and if they dont, he gets a free walk to laning invincibility.

Also: I have decided that the best way to beat cait in lane is to play AP support zil. Put bomb on her head at level 1, take her to 3/4 hp, then just zone her all day long.

Vlad is in the LeBlanc situation right now, but instead of it being the early levels it's level 9-16 for Vlad.
You have to win the game or at least put yourself in an extremely favourable position or else you lose because late game Vladimir has no damage and very little utility.
The other difference is that Vlad can not carry nearly as hard as LeBlanc at his prime time.

Unless you're in a lane with 3+ people, that's not an issue.

You have zero control over where the person takes your bomb to explode.

It's less of him forcing them and more of the person your laning against will always be super aggressive unless they're stupid. Vlad can't stand in lane against any of the common AP picks because they will zone you very early.

I think Vlad fell off because of new champions more than he did because of his nerfs.

Disagree. LB's primetime is 9-16. Vlad actually scales INCREDIBLY hard into late game because of A) his double dip passive, B) his ability to basically isolate and 1v1 anyone because of his health pool and spammable slow with rylais and, C) His ult that ramps up damage done by everyone on the team. The problem with vlad was always you had to blunder through the early game to hit your late game power. And I really dont think his early game is all that bad. Q hits pretty hard and HEALS you, so while you cant go the full aggressive that you used to be able to do, you have to play a bit more safe.

I think the main problem with Vlad at this point is that he was such a faceroll easy champ on release that everyone has memories of just pressing q and winning the game. Now that he has a bit less power and actually requires tactics and thought people dont like him nearly as much.
