And here we go again...a nerf for Vlad is on PBE. I understand he is a top pick but what I dislike is that Riot seems content on nerfing him until he is a walking ult like Karthus.

Vlad is a team player type champion who is all about being useful in teamfights to make up for his pretty bad early game. While it is only a loss of 40 damage...I do consider it fairly big since he only has two worthwhile damage moves. A Q with a base damage of 230 and now an E that has the same damage as Zilean's Q while being a lot less safe due to how close he has to get to enemies.

Just because he is good in an organized 5 man premade team doesn't mean he is good at all levels of play. Just dissapointing.
