I agree with dota being very balanced, but the abilities there are more over the top then here, though IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. About leblanc, you don't have to wait for minion pwnage. you just have to Q+W and W again to return, dealing alot of damage with minimum retribution, and you can lose minion aggro very fast since you return behind your own. At level 6, use Q+R+W for a double silence incredible damage burst., W again to return. It works, and it's quite feasable after you practice a couple of times.

About faceless void and the others being more squishy, I agree. However, they don't pay for skills with life points, do they? The only one who approaches vladimir in health costs is phoenix, though, admittedly, he has mana costs too, but his skills are way way way more strong than vlad's, having not only a higher damage output, but also having CC (a disarm, stun, and slow.), plus the ability to heal allies and so on.

Also, a ranged carry with mandred's bloodrazor and crowd control/lizard and or frozen mallet will kill him late game, especially those who outrange him.
