Vladimir Transfusion

[quote=iChoke]In the upcoming patch, Vlad's Transfusion range is decreased to 600 from 650. How much of an impact is that? Give me an estimate. Because I know that Xin Zhao can already do that forwards slow thing at 650, so wouldn't transfusion be less effective in harassing champions? (Especially ranged ones).[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I feel it'll be a necessary nerf. It has too much range for the damage it does so this way you'll have to time your Sanguine Pool a lot better.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]oooh -50 range. while its a nerf its not that much of an impact (at least thats how i feel.)[/quote]

[quote=MaxEcrof]It's a much needed nerf for him. At max rank late game, he can drain 400hp every 4 seconds which is a very effective harass, especially before teamfights.[/quote]

[quote=iChoke]So guys, how is Vlad after the patch? Same old same old?[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]iChoke, Vlad hasn't changed that much after the patch. He's still a tower-diving-pain-in-the-ass that can harass you from nearly-miles away :)[/quote]

[quote=xPete]Blah i dont need range nerf. CD increase would do it[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]As i main Vlad atm when possible, i find that nerf quite a big shit. I had realy big problems with it on 1st two games, but later on i managed to get used to it. It requires now a bit more skill now. Just to compare. Veigar is able to do the same shit! Noone cries about that one? His range is 650, his damage is higher, his cd is equal? CAN PROVIDE FLAT AP! Annie: Range 625, damage higher, cd equal. CAN STUN! Vlad Range 600, damage lower, cd lower (a bit) Heals, benefits from Rylai as an AoE spell = 15% slow for multi-target spells. So it was totaly not nessesary. If you cry coz of vlad, than you are a retard imho. Cry about any caster than. The diference is that Vlad does it more frequently coz he NEEDS TO. Unlike Veig or Annie, he doesnt have OMFGZOMGWTF nuke. He needs to soften the targets before he can kill. Riot just follows what mass says. And atm Xin is unplayable as an example. Jax is considered a free kill, Ezreal is still usefull so they are nerfing him in every possible patch untill they feel like he is useless again. Vlad is new so he gets the nerf bat also. My thoughts.[/quote]

Annie: Range 625, damage higher, cd equal. CAN STUN! [/quote] Just one word : mana. However, i agree that Vlad is far from an OP char and should not make anyone cry. The downrange makes him beeing hit anytime he casts his spell (and sometime, beeing hit while not hitting himself). I'd rather see a 5 sec cooldown. I actually see only two chars who can be said "OP" : Garen and Xin. By OP i mean if you play right, you can't be killed. Even if opponents are good, they need you to make a mistake to kill you.[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]Xin imho is unplayable :P i so much prefer Yi over Xin... waaaaay better champ. AD > AS. 5 sec cd is way too much since his rotation would get totaly screwed up and he would be more or less just basic attacking caster... On your 1 word. I agree that it should cost health. 2/3 of the heal amount not considering AP bonuses ofc. maybe 1/2. And mana... well playing veig = no mana issues whatsoever. I just take chalice and my passive and i will never run dry so much not to be able to spam BS. After lvl 7-9 you dont look at mana at all unless you waste alot of it on useless stuff.[/quote]
