Obviously this is a test week to see if Vlad is really balanced. For those of you starting out as Vlad, this is how I build him. Start with HP crystal, build into kindlegram(Early game CD,HP), get minor boots(To be upgraded later), upgrade into Spirit Visage(Regen bonus, HP,MR since AP carry is usually in mid). Upgrade boots(If the opponent has lots of poking capabillities:Ezreal or Cassiopeia) or Prioritize Will of the Ancients. Afterwards, get Rylai's(Spammable much needed slow every 3 1/2 sec slow, health and ap, what is not to love?). Rabadon's is the Steroid item, but the game is usually actually over at this point(I have no idea, but it rarely goes past this when the enemy surrenders or some idiot feeds)Oh and the final item is really up to you. I go sunfire (For the HP and the whole champ spotlight comment Phreak made about vampires and sparkles)
