Its a buff. Assuming late game vlad has...500 AP. Old passive gives 1.8 hp per AP. 900 bonus hp, add in rylai's which most vlad's would have by now. that makes for about 3.4k hp. Now, 15% of that is...? 510 hp, so if a teamfight happens, you are out of that hp from the start. With the new ratio and free Ult....you lose 200 total hp compared to old one. But now you have 3.2k hp and don't have to nuke yourself to cast your ult. Not only that, cheaper tides of blood. He is still tanky, just they got rid of the hp costs that were hurting him so much.
