Tanky AP mage but I get the confusion. Though I wouldn't be playing him if he was an Assassin. I hate Assassins.

Ziggs' kit works differently because his kit includes the minefield and you generally have to place it on top of ppl to make it work. Malz needs high ratios to make up for the fact that his ult really does not help him the way AP carries are supposed to work these days. Diana is a tanky AP and power creep, would like to wait till she comes out for "balance" thoughts.

Vlad's damage amp really is what makes him good. It doesn't matter if it sounds like a "support" feature, this is a team game. And a well placed damage amp will win you the game. Also, clearly you have never been hit by a 4 stack E when Vlad has Deathcap. That thing HURTS lol. If you let him get a void staff its just really painful as well. And hits in an AoE.

Oh and if he needed another reason to be good? Tons of healing on Q, better healing from E, WoTA one of his two core items imo. Deathcap and WoTA.
