Hi There, I played Vlad since his release (about 600 games between normal and ranked ones), and I main him because I like his concept. I know his weakness, so I guess I can say a couple of things about him: 1) He is outshined by every mage of the game because of the range, with a long range mage like Brand you can farm and harass at the same time, if you are Vlad you need to walk through the lane getting every possible harass, so the enemy have enough time to simply RUN AWAY from you (considering the classic start items like Boots+3 Pots and the great range) and I think ,after many tries, that the ToB range is bugged and is way inferior than 620 2) At level 6 every mage can nuke the hell out of you, and at the same time they have a CC to do so more easily. (Annie, Malzahar, Brand, Orianna even Ryze) If Vlad want to nuke he needs to pay a TON of HP, be on a very close range, and the enemy mage can simply flash OR countercast the combo on him (Like Annie, she has a "Vladish" range but she can melt and STUN you in 1 second) and you with less HP than normal. 3) The ratios are lackluster. He doesn't scale well late game but with the Spirit Visage rework he got a really nice heal so it isn't a "main problem".

After that I can say that he simply needs a range buff to his Q to no make him OP with other tweaks like 675 (650 will be useless IMHO) and check the cast range of E and maybe make it 650 (It hurts you after all) OR Increase his movement speed a bit.

P.s. Sorry for the grammar, I suck with english. P.s.2: It's only my opinion P.s.3: With a bit of skill I can face other casters, but I always need to rush the WotA to stay ALIVE, and play VERY carefully, (like if you misstep something you die, LITTERARY, when other casters are more forgiving) is that normal?
