vlad as always been considered too much hard to balance even for the riot

they said that one nerf could bury him or one buff could transform him in something impossible to counter. if they want a GOOD buff update they must work on ALL the kit.

now i think the "new" abyssal scepter could be a huge buff for vlad since it should give HP, AP , MAGIC RESISTANCE and an aura (that i don't know how much is strong) , it seems a nice alternative to Sunfire  . we will not know until it is in the live servers.

for now i like how he is, pretty safe lane , huge importance in the tf's and he can be a "war of attrition " tank or a burster. but something can be improved.

at least they must do a graphic update and he deserves some new extra "Pun" lines. i don't ask nothing more.

the pun-o-mancer must rise again
