Once it gets to early-ish mid game, about level 7? Vlad becomes great for harrassing with. Until then, he is extremely vulnerable. I'm still not in ranked, but I play as vlad a lot, the thing with a lot of LoL players in non-ranked games is that they play too defensively. In non-ranked, vlad is extremely effective against the bad players there who won't make an advance when I'm vulnerable, and suffer for it when he's more powerful.

If a player actually tries to harrass a Vlad early game while he's more vulnerable, he'll be able to hold his own a lot better as it moves into the mid-game.
