That's a good one, I almost laughed. Every time Vlad is on a free week, people prove how Not-OP he is by: Initiating with Sanguine Pool; Killing themselves with Tides of Blood; Entirely or almost entirely missing with Hemoplague; Preferring MPen over Life Steal and CdR, giving him that lovely short burst right before another pathetic death;

Hell, I've seen people frequently running around with Lich Bane on him. On his free week.

His stats are already not equal, as his range is actually lower than on most of other mages and his two main damaging skills interrupt his movement, making him one of the worst chasers in LoL. It's actually this "he has long range" part that makes me think you're talking rubbish on purpose.

Good new item on him is the Blackfire Torch, as his slowly applied damage is greatly supported with the burn. No idea why people build it on AP bursters that don't benefit from the %hp burn at all.
