getting countered by wukong? funny, because i seem to get on wu just fine with boots and pots. just know that wukong has good harass, but his cooldowns on his entire combo is quite high and the mana starts to get on the more he uses his ablitlies while vlad doesn't need mana sustain. seriously, when a wukong jumps into you throw a Q+E into his face, put E after because when he stealths it will still hit him.

Your Q has a shorter cooldown than wukong's abilities and it does a nice amount of damage. as vlad you shouldn't push the lane, and stay close to your minions, because when wukong uses his E and W, he pushes the lane unintentionally. when he ults, pool - and you only take half of the damage he deals and avoid the knock up - at least for awhile. wukong doesn't have sustain early and if you trade with him, he'll be forced to b a couple of times after eating all his hp pots.

GP is not so bad actually. He can harass with his Q, but just remember he will eventually run out of mana if he constantly fires his gun at you (Q uses a hell lot of mana) and while vlad's sustain isn't much early - you can outlast the lane if you play safe. oh yeah, your Q does quite some damage so you should Q him and may force an orange out.

And as usual - when vlad gets his revolver, harass isn't mnuch of problem anymore. just farm your ass up.
