The issue there is that vlad is obscenely item dependent for his dps, making him use large amounts of gear with his high ratios to suplement his poor base dmg. Making him buy a bunch of mana items would ruin him as hed be unable to do any damage at all. Additionally, such a nerf would hit the hardest in the early game, namely the laning phase, where vlad is already hilariously weak. People just think they can win a pokefest against him, and then the same thing happens as with any other healing champ, they outlast their enemies. Just because people dont know HOW to lane against vlad, doesnt mean they CANT and that hes OP. His healing is completely negated by forcing a fight on him where he can only heal once or twice before it ends.
