Rumble establishes dominance earlier than Vlad, but has lower poke(Electro Harpoon being the only ranged non-push skill he has). Rumble becomes a bully after level 4. While Vlad becomes threatening past level 7.

Vlad can farm easier than Rumble id say. You can either Q individual minions to not push or E them for quick farm.(Level 5 E at 4 stacks always one shots caster minions). Never pool farm. Ever.

Rumble's Flamespitter only does half damage to minions, so it rarely kills all of them.

Vlad becomes deadly after level 13 when E and Q are maxed. Providing a steady "Burst" every 2-4 seconds with a 1.05 Ratio. Which over time exceeds many mage's damage.

Around Midgame is where Vlad infact shines. His Early is horrible, His Mid is fantastic and his late is also good.

In conclusion, Vlad sounds like your man.
