Ive noticed that Vladimir's blood pool ability is kinda over powered because when activated it heals him while he hurts everyone around him for decent damage while being untargetable and immune to all AoE damage.

Is there some kind of downside to this ability, because if not this seems to be a very broken ability.

It does quite a lot of damage to him, so bad timing can screw you over. He can't pass AoE's like Veigar's Event Horizon. It doesn't heal him that much unless there's a lot of minions around him.

You really have to use it smart for it to be "broken" :)

Long CD doesn't help it. Skillshots and good timing stop it.
It drops aggro from things so, it's an amazing escape tool.

P.S. Your signature is broken. Might wanna' get that fixed.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

It makes him lose like 20% of his health and his move speed isn't changed. You can hit him with CC before he goes in the pool and the effects will carry over (i.e. If I'm nasus and wither Vlad before pool and he pools, wither will still have its effect). It's not OP at all if you keep your timings crucial.

It's annoying, but not OP. Ridiculous tower diving though haha.


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)

Not OP, just need good timing. I just thought I would mention that again, because it's quite imperative. :P

Note also that he can't pass through most terrain while using that. Anivia's wall works on it, and I BELIEVE Trundle's pillar and Jarvan's ult will also stop him.

Jebus is right. It's certainly powerful, but no overly-so. I'm a regular Vlad-player, and it's taken me a long time to figure it out. Try Vlad out for yourself, you'll see why we say it isn't broken. ^^
