@ the above anon, thats not necessarily the case, vlad has always had the feel of more of a poker to me (with an early lane that bad its all youve got) but theyve nerfed him to the point where he has the worst qualities of both a poker and a nuke, his sustained damage in a direct 1v1 still sucks compared to a nuker (because, lets be honest, his q is good but its all he has) and he lacks the ability to fight safely compared to most pokes (his range sucks and he has nothing like a silence/stun to keep enemies off him). They need to change this so ha can be one or the other, not the worst qualities of both. The "no risk high reward" stuff weve been hearing is rediculous, he risks EVERYTHING by trying to harass, theres no one who cant outfight him head on, and no one he can hit without eating massive retaliation. Bads just still dont understand the concept of agressive play and lose to him because they fight on his terms.
