I read somewhere that, Vlad may receive the biggest rework in the Big 6 (maybe as big as MF's). And neither my rework or yours is really that big. I hope to solve his binary match-up, but haven't make up a plan yet.

Temporary, my rework is to make him an Attrox mage-version, with high late-potential. Tanky builds is still neccessary. Since that would mean he can use his passive longer and has higher damage on Q when he is low on health.
