He isnt OP for 1 reason: by the time you are lvl 9 with vlad, your laning enemy should have been handing your ass to you for lvls 1-8, yes at 9 he is very powerful, but he becomes a good aoe champ but nothing special with ALOT of drawbacks (short to point blank range on spells, saccing 32% of his hp to begin an assault, gets chain stunned alot) vulnerable to any form of healing reduc. Like a couple people have pointed out, when you run away from him after he hits you with trans, you are playing his game and letting him whittle you down. Stop being a pussy, be agressive, jump on him whenever possible and youll see just how easily countered he is. Its true that his mid lvls are very powerful, but he should be reaching that point at least 3 levels behind you
