^ Vlad is not for everybody, if you dislike having to farm a bunch and just general being stubborn about it then you won't have a good time. Vlad is all about the farm and the lategame, a kill is all good but usually you won't get one without a jungler (assuming the enemy doesn't mess up tremendously).

He does really good damage on his own once he has Deathcap but the damage amp from his ult given to his team is what really makes him a terror. If you get 2-3 people and your team takes advantage of it, you have a better chance of winning the teamfight.

If you get 4-5 and your team takes advantage of your ult (dump everything on the enemy team). You SHOULD win the teamfight.

Vlad is a strong champ by himself, but his synergy with the team is really what makes him useful in the competitive scene. All you have to do is figure out how to be safe early game, do whatever it takes to be safe too.
