Garen doesn't do well against Vlad if he uses movespeed quints to be as fast as when Garen uses his Q. The only problem is when Garen gets a Negatron Cloak. At this point it's almost impossible to kill Garen, but if playing corectly as Vlad, you will not be killed either. The secret to beat Garen is: buy some armor and boots, and outsustain him.

I don't agree with Yasuo either. Yasuo does well against champs with skillshots because of his mobility, but Vladimir's Q is not a skillshot. Also, Vlad has sustain, something which Yasuo does not. As long as Vlad starts with some armor, he will beat Yasuo from the start. Also, did I mentioned that Vlad can dodge Yasuo's third cast of Steel Tempest with his pool? At late-game, Vladimir is tanky, can sustain himself and do a lot of damage, and will beat Yasuo in a 1x1 battle.

As for Quinn i am not sure. As for Xin Zhao, I agree, though. His early game power is stupid and Vladimir has no way to counteract this.

As for Wukong, he is only really powerful if you don't have armor or if he plays too agressively. If he plays agressively it means he is going of a risky strategy, as if he doesn't get the kill you will just sustain all his damage and he will lose farm.
