so should I go rocket belt or night harvester?

Hello Katdebok

I recommend going for night harvester due to earlier spike which makes games a lot more carriable.

I seen a One treick high elo plays conqueror but you dont even have that build at all, thoughts?

Hello Duksta

Yes, conqueror is viable as well, but it's rather situational. You take it in games where the fights will last long (Mostly enemy team having many tanks). The buildpath is different with that rune, you mostly play with riftmaker then. It's quite okay, but as previously mentioned, only good against tanks.

I have one question: Is aery viable on top lane? If yes, what is the build for this rune path?

Hello DukeMoreira771

Yes, aery is viable on top lane. The build path is the same as with phase rush and electrocute.

thanks for the guide, helped me a lot as a beginner, + one more main to the top),btw what to take instead of an absolute hunter?

Hello DexedTheJuster

Thank you a lot, I'm more than happy to hear that it helped you out. Instead of absolute hunter (I suppose you mean raevnous hunter sindce it got changed) you could go for treasure hunter to snowball even faster after a few kills or ingenious hunter to get some item haste for your hextech protobelt and zhonya's hourglass. You can try out both of them and see which one you like the best. If you got any more quesitons, make sure to ask them !

Thanks a lot!

hi, so the only question I have is. can you just use this guide/build for top and mid both? rly good uide btw!

Hello Leok_380

First of all, thank you for the wise words, I really appreciate it. The question about vladimir top. Ye, it's pretty much the same, only difference is that in top you don't really have to roam that much and you have easier time scaling. For top you kinda have to play phase rush due to it being a long lane. I hope I answered your question. If you have more of them, then make sure to ask

Really nice guide but just one question about runes. What is the best keystone rune to use on in Seasond 12? , or because some players are using different type of runes so I'm not sure which one is best.

Hey V1kt0r555

Thank you for the wise words.
About the question, since all of them have a different playstyle, I recommend you to try out all of them and choose the one that fits your gameplay the most. You can go for electrocute if you want to just go burst one target down, predator for roaming and phase rush if you wish to be more mobile during fights. Personally since phase rush fits my playstyle the most, then most of the times I use that rune.
If you have any more questions, make sure to ask them.

Hey PlayCabex,
First of all, good guide, really made me enjoy vladimir. Now as I main him, I've started realizing the damage output with electrocute instead of phase rush. Yes phase rush for Ms, but as a 1v9 champion wouldn't you prefer electrocute? I feel as if it goes way better than phase rush. Phase rush only does ms but doesn't help with damage alot. I feel as the electrocute rune page should be the number one pick. Thanks again

Hello Immafeed

The damage output is always higher with electrocute since that's what the rune is suppose do. When it comes to rune choices, then it's more of everyone's own choice, it just depends how their playstyle is - do they like more damage or more mobility. Personally I prefer phase rush due to mobility in early stage of the game to survive ganks etc.

Best regards
