To the last anon: Vlad's early game is plagued by long cooldown of his self-heal Transfusion. Anyone who is competent enough will be able to pick apart Vladimir between Transfusions.

To the Anon who says Heimerdinger can't attack Vladimir directly unless theres no minions left: 1. the Turrets will target Vladimir if he damages Heimerdinger, similar to minion AI. 2. A competent Heimerdinger will know how to aim his grenades. --- Heimerdinger, Morgana, and Sivir are nice counters to Vladimir in mid. Heimerdinger for his increased HP Regen (be advised, I play Tank Heimerdinger which means i'll rush some heavy MR to counter your damage and stay in the lane longer than you). Morgana for her Black Shield able to absorb magic damage. Finally, Sivir for her spell shield allowing her to block transfusion casts.
