ElCactus, I'm gonna slap you. You complain about something you don't understand and then spit in the face of Riot when they give a major buff to Vlad. You're complaining about his laning phase and saying how he's not viable he's not viable. And then when they buff his laning phase, you say it's a bug fix, it's a late game buff. Hey guy, you realize they said that Transfusion is now considered single target instead of multi target right? That items SUCH AS Rylai's applies it as a single target skill now. This wasn't a bug fix. It's an old nerf they reversed. Why would they nerf? it might you ask. Because of spell vamp. Because Spell vamp has a 1/3 return on "Multi Target" skills, and because Vladimir sustained too well early game with it before. Now they're giving it back to him, and you're saying they didn't buff him? I'd say tripling the effect of an early key item is a major buff.

@OP They did up his q's early damage on a previous patch, and today's patch will make him more viable once he gets a hextech revolver. I wouldn't call it sad though, before all his major nerfs, he dominated lane and had a huge team fight presence. Now he struggles a bit in lane but can still sustain and farm. I'd say the change to Transfusion gives him much more sustain without making him a complete menace, as he was before. Also, if they are to buff anything, I'd say buff his Ult's %. Don't be silly, his ult amplifies his entire team's damage. Unless you're giving me like 50 more damage and a 1.2 AP ratio on Transfusion, I would MUCH rather have my ult contribute more to a team fight.
