Incoming Vlad Nerfs

[quote=Jebus McAzn]http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=799898&page=10 "High level players hate Vlad as much, if not more, than low and mids. Clearly, a problem with 'all these noobs!'" "I'm gonna let you all in on a secret that I don't share often. I laugh at the NMST thing and gladly come tank forum rage. But truth be told, I don't move to nerf hardly anything. The Live team makes proposals and I help guide them and approve changes (so yes, they're still my responsibility!), but I very rarely go "nerf this thing." This is one time I'll be changing that approach. Vlad, I've tried to avoid this - I really wanted to do minor nerfs, and just try to salvage you somehow. I truely have. But you keep being powerful in all levels of the game, and having very little counter-gameplay or interesting interactions, along with being negative attrition to the umpteenth power. You just crutch on "but my early game sucks! I'm fine!" but I'm on to you. I know those innocent eyes hide a true maniac. Vlad will be nerfed, and this time, as dictated by me. I've handed the team their orders. They will show no mercy, and do what needs to be done. Though, I actually think he'll -still- be good." -- Nerf Master Suck Town[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Saw this coming for a while now. The moment Vladimir started getting banned in the tournaments, he got a permanent ping-target on his head for Riot.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]as most people said in the thread, the problem with vlad is that hes easy to pick up, easy to master, has the best 'get out of anything free' card, and has amazingly high performance, all in one 6300 ip bundle.[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]they need to nerf vayne more than vlad[/quote]

[quote=AnIh][quote=Dante Rebellion] they need to nerf vayne more than vlad [/quote] nerfing a champ with hig dmg and low survivability & sustainibility over a champion with high dmg survivability and sustainability ?[/quote]

[quote=DocSmoothJew]I've constantly said this when the topic comes up but Vlad just obviously has too much in one package. Major league damage and major league survival skills. I'd attribute it to his backwards passive and his pool. There's so little risk to pool it's astounding. You know the only downside to pool? That it has a cooldown. Pretty much it.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote][quote]Originally Posted by Morello Hint: we're only making one change. It's not going to be devastating, but it will be noticeable.[/quote] They are going to remove the KSSSSS AAAHHH sound effect?[/quote][/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Finally, the day of salvation has come. I really appreciate the nerf, whatever it may look like. Also: What does NMST mean? :S[/quote]
