You can and should learn to last hit and fight under your tower with as many champs as possible. It is completely stupid to push in the early game, unless you are a lane pushing character, something that Vlad is not. By being at your tower, you open up an opportunity for someone to gank, and you can safely farm. Vlad is not going to get anymore gold farming in the middle of his lane, or pushing a tower than he is underneath his own tower. There are only a few skill shots that can range you at the tower, and even less that can ignore the minions between you. Constant movement mitigates both. I simply mentioned the characters that I personally play, but there are quite a few that benefit from being under a tower, and I don't know what anybody means by having skills that punish them from staying under a tower. Teemo certainly doesn't have any CC other than blind, and Vayne is hard pressed to get a stun off without some complete foolishness on their part.

I haven't read any actual problems with Vlad here, other than he isn't as insane as he used to be. What I have read is a whole bunch of "I can't I can't I can't." When I can tell you from experience that there certainly are plenty of "I can's" that are doing just fine.
