Talk:Vladimir/@comment-26420137-20150521100653

I play vladimir a lot, i would like to share my build path in order to know if i could get better. I play him with TP and Flash, rune of magic pene, armor, heatlh, and either scaling MR or AP.

I usually start with boots/cloth armor or Doran shield an i dont come back until i have 1200 gold.

I buy hex revolver for the sustain and  because it allows me to spam E. I then rush ionan boots (+15% cdr) and WOA. Then Rylai because in every match up, that item is perfect for Vlad.

Then if i dominated in lane and i buy Luden Echo / Rabaddon / liandry. I rarely get my ass kicked in lane because i know who are the hard match up against Vlad now. If it's Riven, Rumble, Fiddle or Morde i have to play very safely.

Of course against AP heavy team, i buy Spirit Visage, and against AD heavy team, i rush Zhonya after WOA.

Also i dont understand all the "Vlad is toxic" trand.... where does that come from. He has one of the worst early in the game, even if the jungler gank you are useless until lvl 6. His pool has a looooong cd. He cant dash or burst. he is a tank with average mobility who deals nice damage if you didn't take advantage of his poor early game to deny him (like nasus, mundo).
