Vlad Counters: Ignite, DFG, Madred's, Kogmaw, Exec's, Vayne, Swain, Malzahar, Fiddlesticks, Xerath, Leblanc, Kassadin, camping his lane, etc.

Wow. Thats really no counters! You guys are so smart.

"But Porchmunky hes so ez2play" Yeah, if they LET you. If they arnt complete idiots theyll just harrass you each time you Q. Thats how you win. Thats another counter. Congrats, his OP sustain has been nullified by a freaking auto attack. He's not freaking god anymore. I dont know why you still think this. He's weak in comparison to every. Every. EVERY. Other AP mid. Xerath dosnt give a fuck about your damn sustain, he can just shoot you down the lane and keep you by that turret. Leblanc takes half your health at level 2, Kassadin can do whatever he wants, Malzahar can just pick his nose and kill you when he wants. That's why he isnt even "Strong". Swain does what he does and better. Even Mordekaiser does.

Play him against someone who knows the secret to beating vlad throughout most of the game "Lol auto attack him if he Q's something lulululul". Then tell me he's Easy.

"But he has sustain, no mana, and the "Best escape in the game" No. Just no. Sustain, sure. Its pretty good. Thats his thing. The mana thing, sure. Just have Mana Regen runes on every other champion and spam away. Build a Tear if you like. You are now "Resourceless".

"But hes safe!" He has to get right in your face to do anything. Thats not safe. Xerath is safe. Lux is safe. Leblanc is safe. Kassadin is safe. Vlad is right next to you, do something about it.

"But his passive makes him tanky!" Thats a myth. Health isnt tanky.

He's not weak, hes not strong, he's kinda balanced. He's weak in comparison however.
