too bad most of the decent ap items give mana. And dodging skillshots with your W is usually pretty counterproductive unless you already either have an advantage or close to no health less. Sacrificing 20% of your health to dodge an ability is a little silly. Pretty much every change coming his way for months has been nerfs. Direct and indirect. I fail to see how Vlad is considered a decent mage at all considering a good portion of his damage comes from his E which requires him to be in the middle of a team fight to be useful. His ult is nice, his Q is decent, his W is an amazing escape, and his E is a liability in most situations in which he isn't farming. That's about how i feel about him.
