I don't think Vlad is OP when it comes to team fights no more then any other toon with an AOE ulti. Because what people forget is that Vlad is NOT a tank he is a Mage with off-tank abilities. You catch him out in the open against a real tank and he is squishy. Anyone who has spent any real time with Vlad will know this. Just cause you played him a few times does not make you an expert on Vlad. Yes there is a certain way to play him just like any other toon just like there is a certain way to counter him as well.

I purchased him cause I don't flip burgers for a living and I can afford to do so. I played about 30 5v5 matches with him and he is great at working the mid lane against pretty much anybody 1 on 1. However, where the noobs fail is that they dont realize he is a RANGED fighter not a MELEE fighter. They go diving into team battles with him and not protecting their zone and he gets squashed rather easily. So to say the he is OP just because you can't figure out how to counter him properly is really just another typical noob response.
