Gotta love all the noobs talking about how bad he is until late game. Get some skill. Get a good build order. Stop rushing deathcap. Stop buying Liandry's. Pay attention to item buffs. Get 40 CDR and 40 Vamp with DFG/SSW/Nomicon and dominate every phase of the game. Learn to use DFG. Watch pros rush DFG on lots of different casters and just frakking do it. SSW is cheap as hell and gives 20 vamp, 50ap, and 10CDR - they buffed it.

Stop whining about his lack of burst - there are plenty of champs that aren't bursty. You're not a burster - stop trying to play him as one and then whine about how his "burst" sucks. Do you complain about Singed's "burst"? ffs... shut up and play the champ you're playing. If you want burst go be one of the 10000000 people who play Akali badly.

Lack of skill =/= champ sucking.

WoTA, DFG, SSW, Nomicon - enjoy your 40cdr and 40vamp. THEN worry about your Zhonya's and your RDC. If you can't play VLAD (of all champs) without a Zhonya's, you need to seriously look at your playstyle. He has a Zhonya's (with movement) on an 8.4 second cooldown - you really can't escape bad situations with that?

HOW do you not outfarm your lane opponent with Vlad? Once you have Hextech - you first item - you can take down an entire creep wave in seconds with two casts of E if you Q and autoattack properly.

Get. Some. Skill.
