lol. Lets consider Vlad and Malzahar. Vlads heal spell is Q. BUT, W and E take a lot of his health out. So all Q does is replace the lost health. As for Malzahar with heal, WoTA is available to all heroes isn't it? A clever Malz with take WoTA and heal off visions. Now for escaping. Vlads pool really isn't as escape route. You don't get additional speed during pool. And its only for 2 seconds. After those 2 seconds, you are more vulnerable than anything if not close to a tower and if the opponent has ghost/flash. Not to mention pool reduces health. So I really don't see your argument here. During laning phase, Vlad is extremely easy to counter, if you know what you are doing. Normally what people do, is come to Vlad, Vlad uses Q, they run away. Cry OP OP OP OP on the forums, Riot nerfs. What they don't know, is Q has long CD before lvl9, and his other spells take his health out. And once Vlad is forced to use pool to escape, you have total lane control as he will probably B, or be dead if you have him on ignite and his pool doesn't get him to turret.
