Meanwhile, you realize his range on his skills is extremely small. Nearly any smartly played AP carry will beat him. That is why they send him top lane, and even then ranged attacks screw him over so bad. Try Nidalee or Swain top. Hard counters to him.

He was bad before but I can think of a few champs that are more of a problem than vlad, he is very team dependent.

As for whether he is a "noob" champ, no. The ppl who continue to play vlad even after his nerfs are simply good because of practice. Vlad himself isn't OP and is in a balanced place at the moment. Gone are the days when Vlad was played by ppl simply because he was OP all those nerfs ago.

Now, the only ones left who play him are Pros (who again, are really good players), and people who enjoy the champ and his moveset.
