baddie is bad. it's very easy to lane against vlad. i even wrote a step by step guide to it below with the 3 bullets (25 days ago).

all these noobs afraid of harassing vlad because of the scary animation on his Q, rofl. his Q has a long ass cooldown. if he pops his Q on u, u jump on his ass. if he pops it on a minion, you can zone him like no tomorrow. ez. done. and guess what, even if he DOES drop his Q on you early game, MOST MIDS will do more damage to him with their skills, you will outlast a vlad until lvl 6-9 when his transfusion finally starts getting spammy.

Vlad's early game sucks if you harass him, simple. If u don't harass him, ur giving him free farm until mid-game, when he truly shines.

Once he hits lvl 6-9 and gets his Rylais or whatever build he's going for, he'll dive you and he WILL kill you *IF* he's farmed up/fed, most champs even farmed/fed can't do that... that's vlad's strength.. midgame domination if geared.

once it gets past mid game and he's not g-g-godlike/rampage, he's pretty useless for the most part.
