He definitely needs a buff on his E, that's for sure, his early cooldowns are absolutely horrible, and his scaling definitely needs fixing. The best suggestion I found was some guy on the official forums who calculated a shitload of things to prove a very valid point, which was that they could fix Vlad by lowering his Q's early cooldown and making its healing scale off a percentage of his maximum hp + a very, very slight bonus by his total AP (something like 4% base + 1% for every 150 AP). He also suggested they rework his E's costs and range, and upped his overall AP ratios just a little bit. As of now though, he's a bit below average during normal games, and completely worthless against any caster or ranged AD carry that knows his ass from his elbow.
