GJ failing to counter a single point, Riffeeman. You must die to every Ryze on the face of the planet because a 675 range Q with a short cooldown and good damage hits you 100% of the time. You must also go 0/10 against Caitlyn in lanes because she's 650 range instant shots.

Not to mention Vlad's Q has a horrible cooldown until halfway through the game, at which point he's a medium range poker with no stuns, no slows, no speed boosts, no flashes, no silences, etc. Vlad's wonderful multi-target spell with like a 10-15 second charge-up that hurts himself and has so-so range and isn't leveled high since he has 5 points into Q, 1 W, 1 R. So he can have 1 point in E at lvl. 8. Oh wow must be gigantic DPS.

Oh look someone like Kass, a 700+ range Q with a very long silence (2 spells in one), an AOE damage ability that also massively slows and has no charge-up and doesn't hurt him for hundreds to use it, and far more mobility and survivability than Vlad has. Pool is at best average on escape mechanisms. It doesn't move him at all, it delays him getting raped for 2 seconds. Veigar's stun can render an enemy team unable to do anything for 2.5 seconds without hurting himself for 20% of his health. Rocket Jump and Valkyrie are more useful than pool for a caster who needs to not get caught. The wall-jumping ability makes it at least twice as hard to catch a flyer as the 0 speed pool. Gank vlad? He pools? Run with him and then stun him 2 seconds later, grats he has no escape and he moved almost nowhere.

Generic "He's not overpowered but I'm a retarded shit who doesn't understand he lacks a dozen strengths that other champions have so I'll complain about the one strength he does have."
