[@vanhdesu]

sometimes when his jungler is losing in the jg, he purposefully takes LOSING trades so the enemy cannot roam. I have so much respect for this man

[@langman194]

thats hella smart

Hi I'm a noob what do you mean? He is keeping the laner in the lane by losing his health?

[@vanhdesu]

@@DharmaMirror basically yeah, he keeps them busy in lane by fighting them, giving his jgler room to breath

[@quieness]

Another couple of important points: - He usually doesn't move from his lane and prios farm HARD because if u are on good econ on Vlad u WILL stomp the game later. In korea he gives more prio to fights in river because in kr people might afk rq if he doesnt move, but in other regions he ignores teammates and prios lane and farm. At 3 items+ Vladimir will win all teamfights on his own - IF it means to get a good recalll timer for himself, after pushing the enemy out of lane, he ULTS THE WAVE to kill it asap, crash it under tower and make enemy miss all the cs, he then recalls and goes back to lane.

[@aidanh999]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnzHdoaIrt15ga8 this video of his describes exactly that. He is comparing servers but one could also compare ranks the same way.

[@d4s0n282]

a thing to also note, he only rotates if his wave is in a good position

[@lindskychen]

well noted, he also immediately turns back to his farm when skirmishes ends, not over chasing, it may seem a selfish play but when you are on vlad that can carry a late game this decision has to be made perfectly.

[@demons785]

hard matchup with vlad ?

[@weltenfresser3546]

@@demons785 Orianna, Azir, Anivia, these three are probably the hardest matchups, Malzahar is excruciating IF the enemy malz is good, Zed is decently hard before you get boots then its skill expressive but favouring vlad, Fizz is hard if you DONT have summoner aery, viktor is annoying, syndra can be cancer if you arent spacing, ekko/sylas/yone/yas can be hard if you die early on with bad timing, but yeah mainly anything that pokes you hard or tries to damage you early from a distance can make it hard for vlad to gain his footing in laning phase.

You missed to point out that often when he dives he doesn't use w until the last second he needs to in order to amplyfies his R proc damage with last stand, thats why you can see him not using w right at the start for example: 8:30. If he were to w at the start he would not have enough damage to kill

[@vidaulas]

Amazing video!!! Straight to the point and has all the details you need. Thank you!!

[@LoLDobby]

Thank you too !

[@Flikanik]

My personal counter to Vlad is Fiddle Mid Whenever he tries to trade you just succ the wave and him. Fiddle W goes through his pool and W outheals Vlad dmg so as a champion with no cc there is nothing he can do about it. You use this lane prio to roam around the map and once you are 6 the game category for the enemy team changes to "survival horror" During Mid and Late game Vlad loves to ghost around your own team during teamfights with a nice engage to deal dmg but Fiddle ult is a big counter engage threat. Fiddle also provides the juicy cc against Vlad with Q + E combo

[@lhemelsdael]

as OTP vladimir i hate having a fiddle in enemy team

[@fatcatattack]

I learned the hard way that fiddle W hits me in my pool haha

[@calebspeviskoski3715]

fiddle mid is prolly the easier ones for me as a vlad otp esp when you just go conq you can get free stacks and all in them asap

[@Sebastian-oz1lj]

[@ImLqzr]

[@kfk4441]

[@gg533]

Man, that clip at the beginning against Naafiri really highlights how vulnerable she is when her W(?) misses and she doesnt get the Q doubleproc

[@primary_magic1227]

You can also q+r and still get the bonus dmg from ult.

[@alejandro9768]

Thanks so much I hope if I follow these tips I get diamond 4 😂❤

[@DanteCrowlley]

At 37+ CDR Vlad can E+W+E+E WHEN E IS MAXED, basically hit the first E than cast W+E during W to cast another E, it will release before the W ends, its the most hard mechanic to put but is game changing, since Vlad can't cast spells on W, but with this setup he can do it, everyone believes its an unentional bug or exploit

[@Masterpouya]

Your comment isn't clear. You should use E1 and E2 to make it more understandable (E1 = first time you press E, E2 = release of the E). Have a good day

[@avesselforthesoul6395]

Finally a Vlad video my favorite champ ever. Now if he could just get an ASU because he literally finest have a control 2 animation 😅

[@lexsdragon1554]

He used to go full scaling build with all scaling runes like gathering storm, ability haste at levels, magical boots and etc. Also sorc boots for penetration. I wonder what changed.

[@tikaoriginal6590]

in Korea tempo matters more, and there is significantly more focus on early skirmishes. he wants to hit a decent power level asap instead of scaling to oblivion. He did that during his last KR trip also, where he ditched his rocketbelt build and started rushing spellbinder (rip)

[@Rotsen44]

[@WheeinJupiterMars]

there is a bug where ult does not apply damage buff to E. you can try it. E damage is the same no matter ult is on target or not

[@petitenotification369]

Counters : exhaust, controlling wave early and not get baited into trading mana for his hp on low level abilities. As a cassio, you have one shot (due to her mana pool being what keeps her in check early) at running him down when the wave bounces back to you on the long lane, if he pushes into you lvl 1, you control the wave on lvl 2 he doesnt so you can just threaten him with the long lane at that point instead, just don't use your mana like an ape on lvl 1 like in the video. Resolve tree also helps you fuck him. Idk its just wave state fundamentals and not trying to ego him to death. It seems to me people just haven't realised what vlad can do in korea.

[@coutinho9093]

Cassio is one of the hardest matchups btw

[@mu416]

He is really good at trading at early game which means he have a big chance to solo kill enemy mid and if you give vlad a kill at early game that's literally gg

[@blackwiza24]

One of those champs I am glad my Malz counters hard because else I wouldnt be able to handle vlad

[@calebspeviskoski3715]

for vlads the method to beat malz is to pay attention to malz mana as if it is under 100 at any time that is the perfect time to solo q malz, however, i find it useful to just hard shove malz level one as that is prolly what counters him the best
