vlad is like the "stereotype" casters still cause if you harass him and deny him of the minion to heal then vlad will have a hard time in the lane phase. he's still a squish and sure he have his pool but the cost is still high during the early game. "If you try to whittle him down, not committing to fighting him and not keeping the pressure up on him HE WILL WIN." like all champion, not just casters. "i frequently find myself charging at a cait who could eat me alive if we stood and fought" its called denying you of the gold and minion and experiences, thus mean harassing. idk how you play annie or ryze but sure you could poke and run at them, and with luck, kill them when they're low, but if they stun or snare you then yeah you're dead. i've been in ton of match where the other team would do that to our annie or ryze, and then rush in hoping to kill them, well guess what? first blood for my team. vlad is like any other caster, just his play style is different. but the same trick in beating him is the same as dealing with any other caster.
