Vlad is easy to counter. And having played Vlad way back since s1, all I can say is even with all the 'hextech' hype. I never took more than one.

But yea, he was OP then. But all the nerfs after that were stupid. Putting the SV unique, was more than enough. From 25 or 20 something health for 1 AP to 40.. that was quite a big hit. And don't forget Zonya's ring, then it was removed. Rabadons came out with 150 something AP cant remember, now that got nerfed too. So yea, Vlad isn't as powerful as the rest. Plus Vlad does use up his health in spells. And his best farming tools requires him to be very close or actually in the middle of a minion wave to have most effect = easily harassed.

If you're having problems vs vlad, play Cass, malz, Kennen, Fiddles, Swain. They out farm and harass Vlad easily. Lower CD on spells early on and better range for some. Mana is not a problem if you know how to play.
