Darius
Darius is a pretty tough lane because of his crazy 100-0 all in potential and because his Q and E and R abilities have around the same Range as your E-Q comboes. Best way to play this lane is to farm and let him push you into your turret. If you die, you will not comeback! DO NOT DIE early! Get zoned and play very safe. Your only job in this lane is to farm as safely as possible.

Lastly, QSS counters you because it removes your Hemoplague from whomever uses QSS
This is a website that can be used to look up the best players in the world with certain champions and look up anything from their runes to their masteries
Probuilds is another website that allows you to see high elo vlad builds
Runes
This is a really risky, but highly scaling dependent rune page that allows you to have quite a bit more AP and HP late game. However, I don't recommend this page vs Riven, Darius, Teemo or anything that is too abusive in lane, as you will just straight up lose lane most likely. If you can get away with it when vs a Singed, Shen, Malphite or any other lanes you counter, then take advantage of it and use a scaling rune page.
Runes
This is a really good rune page to run, that I've seen high elo korean challengers use. The logic behind it is that your early AP on your rune page is a small amount and most of your AP comes from items anyways, so why not give Vladimir the immobile mage some good scaling mobility through Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed? It's a great rune page, but you will lack early damage, and the Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction help you spam your spells every 2.5-3 seconds late game. Take this page when you know you can get away with it, like when you're vs a Singed, Shen, Malphite or any other lane you counter.
Runes
This is yet another kind of greedy rune page that lacks defenses, but! If you can get away with it when vs a Singed, Shen, Malphite or any other lanes you counter, then take advantage of it and use a scaling rune page.
Runes
It is very important that early on you DO NOT spam Tides of Blood or Transfusion onto minion waves because it will mess up your ability to last hit all of the minions. Only use Tides of Blood when you need to! Same with Transfusion.
