Alot of champions can do their "Huge amounts of AOE" far far far away from where Vlad has to be. His tankyness means jack considering he has to be RIGHT THERE to do anything remotely useful. Never in my life have I had mana problems in teamfights. Even as Swain. With my ult on the entire time. Laning phase maybe.

Vlad and Morde on the only "Mages" without CC or utility.(Morde beats him however with the neato armor/mres buff and his ult) Vlad's now lousy ultimate dosnt really compare. If I were to pick a number, I woulda picked %15 damage amp. The pool dosnt count as utilty considering it does more harm than good most of the time. His passive was good at one point, but now the HP-AP is dead weight. Borderline useless. I wouldnt miss it if someone got rid of it for a buff somewhere else If "Free stats" are really problematic, rework his passive, and supply more items in the game that he can build -well-, and buff up some other stuff.

They had the right idea with the ToB changes, giving yourself a Reckless Swing every 3 seconds was counter productive. But by making him able to use more than one spell regularly for most of the game, they had to nerf him AGAIN.
