Will you guys stop with the "OMG 3 SECOND HEAL OHMAIGOSH"? You fire that in a team fight how much? 3 times? At pitiful range? lacking ap ratios? Can't combo you into oblivion and actually has to wither you down? And his pool? a crowd control escape? I agree with a good criticism, but you might actually want to analyze the whole hero before you cry OP. If we stood there analyzing abilities, we would've blown half of them away. "OMG XIN ZHAO SHAVES 20% HP AND GAINS RESISTS OMFG I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP!" "OMG KARTHUS KILL ME ANYWHERE ON MAP, I SLASH MY WRISTS NAO!" Vladimir: All this stuff has been properly addressed and debunked, So stop wasting your breath and my braincells with idle banther and go find ways to counter, Amasingly, YOU CAN ACTUALLY COUNTER HEROES.
 * Needs a heal to compensate for the huge health cost of his spells. Yes, 1/5 of your health is huge.
 * is not at fault for you letting yourself harrased with his Q and you not harrasing him away from the minion wave so he can't heal
 * Needs a team to fully benefit from his ultimate, unless you're at very low life, in which case you probably deserve to die anyway
 * benefits from rylai's passive as much as any hero, and gains about 140 life and 20 ap extra from it, yes, i'm very impressed, it's not like he needs them to compensate for pitiful ratios and high life costs.
 * has a really long cooldown on that very imba escape spell of his, and it shaves away his lifepoints, so popping lots of dots on him and forcing him to use pool won't have a single effect on him. Oh wait... it will probably kill him.
