[25.04] Vlad simplefied by a low elo for low elo's

By mitchellgamer12
About me
Hello everyone! I am mitchellgamer12 and i come to share my Vladimir guide.

The reason i am writing this guide is to share my knowledge and experience with vladimir. This champ helpt me to reach platinum in season 14 and right now he feels even stronger so its the perfect time to share his power with others willing to know that a team is optional.

I have played every role and every champ but Vladimir just stuck to me as i just need to scale and win the game even when we are far behind.
And vlad is the perfect champ for it.

Have fun reading my guide and i hope it will help you achieve a better rank, Inspiration to start playing Vlad or at least some info.
About Vladimir
Vladimir is an incredible strong late game champ that has amazing sustain in laning phase with his Q a free get out of jail(veigar cage)W a really good waveclear and an insane ult that even when you are 0/20 is still usefull for your team.

Even in low elo you can find some good succes on him because low elo games tend to go on for way longer (Source)

Vlad also enjoys the chaos of low elo teamfights because there is a lot of miss positioning. If you can abuse that you can win every teamfight.

So if you know you have it in you to carry every game. Than vlad is the champ for you.
Abilities

Passive

Crimson Pact

Every 30 points of bonus Health gives Vladimir 1 Ability Power and every 1 point of Ability Power gives Vladimir 1.6 bonus Health.(Does not stack with itself)

Usefull passive since the bonus AP and Health can be a big difference maker late game.

Q

Transfusion


[Cooldown:9/7.9/6.8/5.7/4.6][Cast time 0.25seconds][Target range 600]

Vladimir drains his target's lifeforce, Dealing [80/100/120/140/160 (+60%AP)] and restoring [20/25/30/35/40 (+35%AP)]
After using this ability twice, Vladimir gains a [10%/20%/30%/40%(based on level)]Bonus movement speed for 0.5 second and empowers the next use of this ability for 2.5 seconds.

The empowered version of this ability deals [148/185/222/259/296 (+111%AP)] instead and resores an additional 30-200(based on level)+(+5%(+4% per 100AP)of his missing health) This bonus healing is reduced to 35% againsts minions.

This is your main trading tool in laning phase since it gives a good amount of healing and the empowered version also does a lot of dmg.

W

Sanguine Pool


[Cost:15% Current health][Cooldown:28/25/22/19/16]
Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood for 2 seconds,becoming untargetable and Ghosted for 2 seconds. He also gains 37.5% Bonus movement speed that decays exponentially over 1 second.
Vladimir deals[20/33/47/61/75(+3.75%nobus health)] per tick enemies withing the pool are also slowed by 40%. And vladimir heals himself for 30% of the pre-mitigation damage dealth, Reduces to 18% against minions.
(Vlad cannot use basic attacks or abilities during Sanguine Pool, But he can still move. And if Tides of Blood(E)is charing at the time of Sanguine Pool's activation he may still recast it.)

A great way to get away from danger or to towerdive with since it releases tower agro.

E

Tides of Blood


[Cost:2%/4%/6%/8%(based on chare time)Maximum health][Cooldown:13/11/9/7/5]

Begin Charing: Vladmir charges us a reservoir of blood, Spending Health. While at full charge Vladimir is slowed by 20%.

Release: Vladimir unleashes a torrent of blood missiles at surrounding enemies, dealing a minimum of[30/35/60/75/90(+1.5%maximum health)(+35%AP)] If the ability was chraged for at least 1 second it also slows targets hit by[40%/45%/50%/55%/60%] Enemies can intercept multiple bolts but can only be damaged by one. If vladmir is below 12% of his maximum health Tides of blood(E) with not cost any health


Great for waveclear and the slow is usefull for an escape attempt

R

Hemoplaque


[Cooldown:120]
Vladimir creates a virulent plague, Causing its victimes to take 10% increased damage from ALL sources for 4 seconds. After it expires Vladimir deals [150/250/350(+70% AP)] magic damage to all infected targets.
Vladimir restores [150/250/350(+70%AP)] Health if he hits a championg and an additional 40% of that for champions beyone the first.

A great way to ingage a fight or to just heal up a bit if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Great scaling
  • Amazing solo carry
  • Good sustain
  • Get out of sticky situations W
  • very usefull ult even when you are inting
  • Fun to play

Cons

  • Needs a few items before he is usefull
  • Cant help early as he needs to farm
  • Weak if he gets denied a lot farm and experience
  • Needs to play around cooldowns
Gameplan

Early game



Our tactic early is to poke using Q and just farm.
if you see an option for a free kill take it.
You can use W to clear turret agro so you can dive if they dont respect your poke.
try to hit your empowered Q on champs since it does a lot of dmg and if they dont know that you can get a huge lead in your lane.

Mid game



Mid game is almost the same as your early.
You want to keep farming till level 12 when you have your E maxed.
You can look for roams but only take the roams if you are 80% sure you will get a kill out of it. If it looks to much like a coinflip its better to just farm and scale.

Late game



This is where vlad becomes the most enjoyable.
Look to start teamfights with your ult, since the 10% increased dmg from all sources. This lasts for 4 seconds so it means it gives enough time for your team to followup on it. And if it doesnt work out as you planned just move away using your W and heal back to full hp from it.

Spam your Q and E as much as possible for the most amount of fun and dmg.
And save W for either a E that hits the most amount of enemy champs or as an escape incase things go wrong.
Combos

Vlad doenst really have any combos since he relies on his Q and E spam for the most amount of damage



Basic all in combo E->Flash->R->Auto attack->Q->W

This is the normal all in Make sure you press your R before you release your E.

Basic all in combo if they are in close range Q->R->E->W

Use if they are close enough that you dont need to flash for it

Another all in combo if they are in close range E->R->Q->Auto attack->W

Normal trade E->Q

A good trade tool for inlane or as a escape since E slows after 1 second/
Tips and Tricks

Tips

  • Rembember you are a late game champ and a really good one. So no matter how bad the game looks Never FF. always believe in a comeback especially here in low elo where a game isnt lost untill the nexus is destroyed
  • Farm as much as you can. The more you farm the earlier you can carry. If that means you need to play selfish do it. Try to get that perfect farm and just mute the jungler he starts blaming you.(he will) Only roam with the 80% rule in mind: Are you 80% sure you will gain more by that roam than you will by just farming than you can roam.
  • To help you relax and scale to late i recommand putting on some chill music like a classical concert.
  • Dont be afraid to take bad trades, You have your healing to make up for it. So you will come out on top most of the times.
Skins

Vlad has 13 skins


Most of the skins for vlad are quite good but some are defnitly better than others


This is my opinion on how good the skins are so take it with a grain of salt



#13Count Vladimir just a boring skin that is probably because it was released in 2010.

#12Vandal Vladimir is also a really old skin from 2011 that just insnt anything special.

#11
Nosferatu Vladimir This is an unpopulair opionion but i just dont like this skin Yes it has some unique abilitie but it is outshined by every other skin in my opinion.

#10
Cafe Cuties Vladimir This skin just doenst fit the champion

#9
Broken Covenant Vladimir Now we are getting into the good skins so i will place this at 9 because its just mid

#8
Marquis Vladimir A good and cheap skin that feels good to play with but cant compete with the other ones

#7
Academy Vladimir a solid skin that looks good.

#6
Recently added to the game and i think it really fits vlad and it looks good Should be the new default skin.

#5
Soulstealer Vladimir Skin fits vlad good and has a cool back animation. Also the ult is harder to see.

#4
Cosmic Devourer Vladimir A good skin with cool animations. i like.

#3
Dark Waters Vladimir this gets placed so high because your ult is almost invisable in river fights. And it just looks clean in general

#2
Blood Lord Vladimir A amazing skin that even tho its really old (2011) still looks good and its just a perfect fiting skin for the champ.

#1
Nightbringer Vladimir This is my favourite skin for vlad it looks cool it plays nice and you just look epic for the enemy adc to look at when you killed him for the 10th time in a row.
