I never said anything about his nerfs. I have a very big bone to pick with stupid players (i'm done with the niceties) that keep saying his abilities are overpowered, because they say they are overpowered. there has been no vlad that ever was game changing when playing against me SO FAR, unless he was fed several times in mid. However, that happens less than it doesn't, dictating that while he can hold his lane mid, he requires good hands and planning to actually get a kill, but mostly a bad played that can actually die to him before he's lvl 9. you've heard me. If someone dies to vladimir before he's lvl 9 he's fucking terrible, simply because he can't actually burst you with anything he has. He'll stack levels in transfusion so he can actually use it offensively( I mean come on, until level 7 you have 8 fucking seconds in which you can deal terrible damage with him dealing close to NADA (auto-attacks and 1 level of tides of blood, i'm terrified...) In worst care he'll pop ultimate, but if you get to that situation, you're not harrassing well. Vlad can be destroyed early game so easily it hurts.

What truly annoys me are not the nerfs. I don't play him that much anyways. what really annoys me is the cries of players that think they know how a champ works better than you, who actually knows his ins and outs. It drives white hairs on my head when I see people with the attitude "omg this is too hard make it easier" rather than "this is hard, i need to find a proper solution to this". NOTHING gets made easier for you in life, especially when that something works well as it is. I don't play tryn, but i want his ultimate to be back to 6 seconds, because i worked hard to learn to counter it, and i actually made it.

Also, the nerf is stupid anyway. you got what from the passive? 40 ap at 1000 bonus health? forgive me for not being impressed. for all i care, he can stack all the health he wants so he can die faster from nasus, kog'maw, warwick, mundo, katarina, etc, any champ with healing reduction, dots or damage based on percentage health (bloodrazors included).

But i'll agree that it sometimes is a bit boring to play vladimir, that's why i left some rework suggestions somewhere in the comments section, that would make things more interesting.
