Hey Spice I play more mid Vlad now (easy to deal with squishies and dodge the Irelias) but uh, LEBLANC MURDERS ME MOST OF THE TIME TT yeah what I mean is any tips against mid champs? Especially Ahri and Leblanc? Maybe the occasional Kassadin too?

Vladimir in the middle lane is actually quite different from the top lane: I'm going to explain how you can have a direct impact to ease up your lane, and an indirect impact.

For starters the lane is more stout(shorter) which means your pool can cover more distance safety wise. For this reason most Vladimir Mid players will bring Storm Raiders Surge, allowing them to chunk their mid laner's health when the opposing jungler ganks; applying the SRS movement speed boost and run back to their tower in safety which results in a pretty much guaranteed save without burning flash. With this in mind, you can start to use your summoners more aggressively. Don't forget that if your mid laner is too tanky for you to apply your SRS, you should not be playing aggressively as you wont be able to run away as safely without burning a summoner spell. Having this "safety" advantage puts you on the level of a mobile mid laner(Fizz, LeBlanc, etc.) which means the enemy jungler has less opportunity to gank you since he knows you will escape, which in a sense will discourage him from visiting the mid lane. Of course, this is how you can indirectly make the lane easier.

Now if you're looking for some direct options against the match ups you mentioned:
I moved this part of my reply INTO MY GUIDE. It's under the match up section, just click on the portrait of the champ's you mentioned. I literally copied and pasted whatever I wrote here into the match up description. It was really long and looked awkward and uneasy on the eyes to read. So yea, in the guide now go check it out.

Spirit Visage will be your most effective item against them. Don't be afraid to be useless all early game by rushing SV as Vladimir is a scaling beast, and late game is where you will have your moment to shine.

HOW DO YOU VOTE UP THIS BUILD IT"S SO DETAILED AND FITS ALL THE STUFF I THOUGHT OF VLAD FROM MY QUESTIONS ABOUT SPELL VAMP TO WHETHER I SHOULD JUST GET CDR RUNES EVERYTHING I LOVE THIS GUIDE (Also yes I agree he will be murdered by Irelia)

Basically what I mean by "in-between" is that after you purchase Rylai's Crystal Scepter you should then purchase a Fiendish Codex and/or a Kindlegem before building the next suggested core item. An example of what I mean would be this; Rylai > Sorcerer's Shoes > Codex > Kindlegem > Spirit Visage > Deathcap and so on. By purchasing items in that order you can achieve 30% CDR quickly so you wont end up being thirty minutes into the game with 10% Cooldown. The reason you would want to do this is because Cooldown is extremely important on Vladimir. Hope this reply answers your question and clears up any confusion.

Great guide with lots of depth. 10/10 would recommend for new Vlad players.

PS. Personally i don't agree with your choice of keystone, as i usually grab Stormraiders, but great guide nevertheless.

I have to say I vastly appreciate this as my first comment, it assures me that the information I am putting out for Vladimir newcomers and/or veterans is respectable and gives me the confidence to keep dishing out content and make changes for readers. So once again, thank you!

I thought DFT and RyLiandrys was just a vlad thing but I don't do it anymore... now I have an item slot to get more mr/CDR and not look down on the Visage which let's face it is very useful. I mean I lose that feel of a **** ton of DoT but my Vlad games got sonsiderably better (also yes, protobelt is really situational XD )
