That's my Vlad build, Definitely good to have that Mpen and once you get a hextech you negate just about all(most of W) hp cost. The main thing is to rush the WoTA and the SV. After that it's entirely situational with the Mpen.Void or abyssal depening on what you need. I try to stay away from Liandry's incase i have to leech off the tank and i don't want him to die too quickly mid game and late game it just falls off(rip Madreds). I myself prefer speed on him because having speed with that puddle is a great way to get behind the enemy team and take out their carries or get away. I ended up getting the Sorcs last just to have a little extra Mpen and be able to go toe to toe with yi.

The difference between a Zhonyas or a Deathcap. If you have good CDR then get Zhonyas. If you don't then Deathcap is going to be better for you. Best to Zhonyas then pool since you'll most likely be surrounded for zhonyaing. The pool should give you back a good 60% hp from the 5 champs if theyre all there and then you can get a good amount of damage off on someone or all if you saved ult before they take you down
