As a Vladimir top main, your job is to harass. Farm with aauto attack pre-9 and every time your Q is up, use it on your enemy. Always level Q first to lower the CD, vladimir hits his power spike after he gets full CDR and hits level 9 (where his Q is max level). I build WotA first then get Ionian boots of lucidity then a spirit visage. This will give you 40% CDR and at level 9, lets you use his Q every 2.8 seconds. If youre still in laning phase for some reason literally every single time the enemy comes up to farm you just Q them and thats about 450 magic damage.

In team fights, always ult first to get the damage application. Always make sure the ult hits the ADC and make sure it hits 3 enemys at very minimum. Get in the middle of the fight and keep using your E and Q the carry. Once peopel realize youre focused on the carry they will turn to you, at that point you pool and slide over to the carry slowing them and doing damage. Your ult by then should pop killing the adc single handedly and the enemys should be very low at this point letting you one shot everybody with your Q.


 * LANING PHASE DOMINATION TIP: If you have a big presence in laning, if youre Qing the enemy and youre not taking back any damage back, then all you after to do is poke them down with your Q, push to the turret (make sure to ward the river AND tri no matter what side of the map youre on) wait for all your spells to be up, then you ult the enemy E, then Q, ignite if its up, then pool when youre about to die from the enemy or turret. Since youre pushed and you pool the turret will switch to attacking minions even when you come out of your pool.


 * OVERALL MAJOR TIP: Before you turret dive mentioned above or before a team fight, MAKE SURE YOUR E HAS FULL STACKS. This ensures maximum damage and maximum health regen, this makes a big difference!! If you know a team fight is about to break out then keep Eing even if you dont hit anything, you need full stacks.
