All you did was say what he doesn't have. By your logic Vayne sucks because she has no AoE, long range poke and gap closer like Graves. True, Vladimir's burst sucks, he has no hard CC like other mages but he compensates for all of this with his insane ability to bait. A good Vladimir player will make enemies underestimate his damage and survivability with ease, even considering that his E's damage is stack based, ultimate amplifies damage and pool regenerates based on targets struck and E stacks. Just like Leblanc Vladimir can win any lane (except against Fiddlesticks, but he will be in the jungle for most games). And all of this and considering his ultimate can double your team's damage output if used well makes Vladimir an extremely strong pick.
