Introduction

The name is Chipmunk, and welcome! Just a little bit about myself.
I've been playing off and on since season 2, entered the ranked scene in season 3 and recently returning to league after almost a year off due to military training. I main Vayne/Ezreal/Vlad/Lee. Favorite lanes are jungle and bottom.

Looking forward to making more guides and hope you all find them helpful!

+AoE Damage
+Only vampire in the game.

Cons

-Immobile without spells
-Item reliant
-Long cool-downs early-game
-Squishy early-game
-Your own spells can kill you if used at the wrong time

Farming

When playing Vladimir, your low AA damage and speed makes farming CS a little harder. It doesn't hurt to go into a custom lobby and practice last hitting minions with little to no health. It took some time to farm up a decent amount early on. Farming is best done in the middle of the lane, while farming under the tower is the hardest due to your AA damage.

Once you have built some CDR, farming becomes a little easier as you can Q and E more often without the long as ever cool-downs.

Practice makes perfect! Only real tip I can give.
