@asperon, Id like to point out that all the tower hugger champs you listed have a)longer range than vlad and b)something to protect them (particularly something to force the enemy to eat multiple tower shots should they get too close to harass you) if someone actually tries to harass them under the tower. Due to vlads pathetic range and massive cooldowns early on, vlad has neither of those. vlad isnt veigar. Veigar does well tower hugging because hes pretty much built around farming with his q to get a huge amount of AP. Vlad isnt designed for this, you cant say that because a tactic works for one champ it should be the strategy for any champ that has glaring weaknesses instead of actually trying to fix the problem. I played vlad before the nerf, and i play him now. As a poker hes second to none, even with the nerf to his q (as the basis of a poke war is to fight on your terms, when your cds are up). That said, my complaint isnt leveled at the rank 5 of q, but every rank before that. Vlads range is pathetic and he can do nothing in the lane or risk getting blasted from outside his range. All I would like to see changed is the range on his q, and possibly his autoattacks, to give him the opportunity to actually get in the lane
