early game rhyze would win out not because he has superior range, but because he has much greater spam potential. late game is a different story, if they both had their ults up it would be very close, as both of them would have significant sustain and burst. rhyze would have the superior sustained burst dmg and could wear a vlad down if he unleashed his full combo and snared vlad before he could pool. however your friend is building zero cdr items on rhyze, which seriously reduces the deadliness of his combos. vlad with full build is very tanky and can match rhyze's ult's regen potential, and with a smart pool the vlad could easily turn the tides by draining the rhyze down while regaining his own health.
