By numbers it scales lower and does less base damage than other skills coupled with a low range. A common misconception of vlad is that he has "No costs" when his resource is his health. He uses a bunch to cast his E and keep stacks on it. Up to 140 hp per 10 seconds to keep 4 stacks on his E, and 20% of his current health on his pool.

His Q is no more OP than say Cassiopia's E which can have a 0.5 sec cooldown and spammed twice every second, up to 4-5 times per vlad Q. And she can heal a simnilar amount due to will of the ancients.
