Last anon, Vlad really has a poor early, until lvl 9 he might be a problem for whoever is playing him. I usually prefer focusing on last hits, with Q or even E if needed. Aim for that Hextech Revolver, just be defensive and heal damage taken with your Q on minions, if you think you can Q the enemy without suffering, do it. I like SV if i'm having problems, but that is personal. Never farm with pool, unless you get pushed really hard into tower (you probably know this xD). If you want to harass, make sure it is worth it (if you wont lose cs, the enemy will trade harder etc). Vlad has poor ranges, and this will often make him vunerable to harass. But I normally play him aiming a higher cs than my lane enemy, which isn't that hard as Vlad... Farm wraits w/e possible. If SV and Hextech can't solve your problem, get that Negatron/Chain Vest depending on your enemy. Abyssal is a nice item for Vlad, and I usually get it. Rylai must be your next goal, that Rabadon can wait xD. Zhonya is a must in my opinion, makes your team-fighting capacibilities shine even more. I like to leave my hextech there until I got a Rabadons, unless my team will benefit a lot from a Wota, so I get it sooner. Runes are very, very optional. I like a tanky-mobile setup, with the mpen reds, blue mr/lvl, hp/lvl yellows, movement quints (improves your last hitting a lot). I like 9/0/21 (cd, mpen, exp, vamp), sometimes 9/21/0 masteries. I don't think I can help more than this. If you notice, my gameplay is: aim for lategame, farm as much minions as you can, be tanky, after lvl 9 start being a little more offensive. Oh, was almost forgeting about a tip. I like it a lot: abusing your anti-diving capacibility. If the enemy is diving: Q, R, Ignite, E, Q (if possible, if not, ignore it), W, spam E Q if still alive. Got me lots of kills :D Did I mention you must farm a lot?? Sorry if I had some grammar mistakes, it is not easy being a brazillian who likes to comment on websites where english dominates :D hope I helped, if not, feel free to ask, I will answer if I can ^^
