I'm not a vlad player but on the LoL forums the public has been complaining about the delay between skills after you use your ultimate, anyone else acknowledging this issue? | ||

I'm pretty sure I've noticed it, but it DEFINITELY shouldn't be buffed to have a faster animation. Vlad is far too strong right now the way things are and that would be a pretty significant buff. | ||

In that case CD boots would be better in most situations except burst damage teamfights (kennen vlad combo comes to mind). In any prolonged fight CD boots should pull ahead easy over sorcs. In fact, if you Q a Sivir, say, under her spellshield, you will do no damage whatsoever to her, yet still get healed. EDIT: what is this Vlad bug exactly? Is it a buff or a nerf? | ||

If you're getting off the same numbers of spells either way, MPen is obviously better. Then of course there's the added utility from a reduced Pool cooldown, and the fact that you can't easily itemize CDR for Vlad but you can always get Void Staff... seems to weigh in the CDR boots' favor. With enough CDR you can do a pretty powerful combo of RQE W QE Hourglass QE (wait 1-2 seconds) W QE, during which it's pretty damn impossible to kill you. Pretty much this. I main as Vlad, and while I'm only a noob level 22, the shortened CD on W has saved me countless times. The above described combo is simply lethal in team fights. I'd always get CDR over anything else. | ||

Going giant belt will get me another 10 ap becaues of passive or going for the wota i get 58 hp i dont feel like its worth it. Any suggestions? I mean I'll get it eventually and if im already killing them then going for my blasting wand/amp tome for rylais. after the revolver i like to build either a rilays in which case i get the belt 1st or an abyssal in which case i get the cloack 1st, it depends on laning opponent and situation, if really really ahead i get an NLR but that's really rare.. | ||

Sorry to ask basic questions, I couldn't really find any guides out there that didn't seem troll-y or pretty out of date. | ||

You want to run flat armor seals and/or flat mr glyphs depending on the matchup. Flash is fine for mid, but Ghost is better on top. | ||

Can someone give me a breakdown of good/bad matchups for him? The one game I played I picked vs Xin and got my face pushed in, though that could have been because I was using a shit rune setup. He did a looot of damage at low levels, though. Now I've got an MPen red, HP/18 yellow, AP blue, AP Quint page, 21/0/9, and will be running him Flash/Ignite. Seem ok? Sorry to ask basic questions, I couldn't really find any guides out there that didn't seem troll-y or pretty out of date. I have similar questions. I've played Vlad a lot, and won/even lanes vs. WW, Jax, Kennen, and others, but I got bullied by a Miss Fortune (who honestly was a better player/more experienced with the champ, and more jungle support) and Yorik (same) any protips? | ||

That was the feeling that I got, you're not that strong in a duel until items/levels. Seems to be effective vs melee with no/poor gap closers. I spent most of my time trying to farm with autos/Q and then pool when he charged, seemed to be about all I could do :\ Next two questions: if I decide to add him to my top roster, what matchups is he very strong against and should be picked into? And what's the reasoning behind Ghost top over Flash? | ||

For any questions including lane matchup analysis, core items and runes / masteries, I will always recommend CLG.na Chauster's basic Vladimir guide. Nothing new for oldschool Vladimir players, but it helped me tremendously when I was 're-learning' Vladimir after he got nerfed into nothingness and then buffed back to be what he is today. | ||

He also has some difficulty against champions that sustain better than him (typically mana-based sustain), like Nidalee/Kayle/AP WW/Irelia (yet again)/Swain. Every single game where I laned against a Nidalee was a very easy win. Her heal is only really substantial if she is going AP, and even then the mana costs for the Nidalee heal is really high. You can easily sustain through her AA harass during laning because she won't be able to come into range much of the time in the first place, and when she does your EQ-disengage will leave you winning trades. You shouldn't be getting hit by spears either during laning. IDK, my experiences are Vlad >>>>> Nidalee. One of the easiest matchups for him. WW is good against Vlad but his ult factors in heavily. Irelia doesn't beat Vlad because of her sustain (which isn't even that great after her sustain nerf) but because she can engage on him incredibly easily and outdamage him by a great deal while also making it difficult or costly for Vlad to disengage. Irelia is good against Vlad for similar reasons as to why Riven, Jarvan, and Xin can be good against Vlad. It's just that Irelia's engage is much more "ensured" while generally being safer. I also don't think Swain beats Vlad because of his sustain. For me it mostly revolves around the fact that in a drawn out fight Swain >>> Vlad, and how you're basically dead if Swain lands a W on you post 6. Swain is similar to Ryze in that regard. Ryze >>> Swain, and it has nothing to do with his sustain. It has to do with the fact that roots and stuns fuck Vlad hard. tldr; Vlad sucks against people that can engage on wail on him and can prevent or make it difficult for Vlad to disengage. I don't think sustain has much to do with success against Vlad in lane at all, it's more about sustained damage that Vlad can't sustain against. | ||

I have seen a lot of different suggestions on how to build Vlad's masteries (as far as top lane is concerned). Some people say 21-9-0, some people say 9-21-0, and Reapered does 9-0-21. I have tried all of them but I frankly can't make up my mind on this. Does anyone know if any sets of the masteries above is superior, say, in certain match ups? | ||
