Vlad was designed to be a poke champion that wins his lane EVERY SINGLE TIME.

His Q range meant that he could outlast virtually everyone, with the possible exception of Lanewick.

Nerf his Q, and suddenly he's worthless. His range means no more free poke, poke, poke until they bluepill. It means hell for Vlad players who are trying to survive, yes survive until level 9 when he's got max Q for spammability. Otherwise, it's hide under tower and try to lasthit cause you're so volatile during the early levels.

Vladimir was released as a broken champ and he's ended up on the other side of the OP spectrum.

Now he's just a troll champ for lolzy games. Dyrus would like him.
