really good guide, this is what vlad should be played like. 1 question, why not mentioning liandrys torment as many vlad players buy it?

Decent.

Pretty decent guide, learned quite a bit though a lot of good info.

I did not mention Liandry's Torment because I feel the other items listed are better in almost every situation. Usually Haunting Guise is purchased as an early game item, but you don't want this item early on Vlad because it delays more important items like Spirit of the Spectral Wraith and Zhonya's Hourglass. After those items you have very little MR and HP so you need resistances from Abyssal and Rylai's. Late game the enemy will have high amounts of magic resist which will make the % pen from void staff better than the flat pen for liandry's. The item is strong with Rylai's if the entire enemy team is stacking health, but that is almost never the case and you will be diving the back line for the most part which rarely tends to build excessive health.

Great info love the champion match ups and the Ryze one

This guide makes me wanna play vlad now XD

great guide, was very skeptical about spirit of the spectral wraith purely because I didn't like the idea of paying for mana regen on a champion with no mana, but it plays great with the CDR and spell vamp. The build works in nearly every situation with is wonderful. Guide looks pretty and has good information.

Good to see some of the higher-up's are finally recognizing that the Zhonya's path is extremely viable.

/cough

Nice build work's good

I can see the will of sharing your experience.

I like it.

The build seems legit (how can a poor Gold like me can say that xD) so I just upvoted it.
