Maltz definitely has better CC with his ult and silence and he's got a very strong laning presence. His lane control after 6 with an assisted gank is almost a 100% guaranteed kill. Vlad's ability to lane after level 9 is just insane. I don’t think any champion can really beat him in lane after level 9; he just heals and pokes too much it seems. His DPS is very high and so is his survivability. However, vlad's q is more of a nuke and you can't really rely on its healing for survivability in a team fight although it is godly while laning after lvl 9. Overall, I'd say Maltz is the better hero but you really can't go wrong with either one.
