^ Well I suppose I can't lie that nerfs have been a detriment to a champ's playability for all non professional levels. The second reason he isn't played is that Vlad is a team player champ. He is not the type of champ who is strong by themselves but rather a champ that is strong with everybody piling in on his ult.

Viable in tournaments, but definitely because tournaments are 5 man groups of well coordinated people.
