Ekko is an annoyance to any decent tank, just keep dodging to the best of your ability and ask your jungler to help you get fed off of most Ekko player's arrogance and squishiness, and try to make him overextend in the process for assurance.
Talon
It's been done. Met one of my good friends with this matchup back when I was practicing Vlad. Same as Ekko, make them overextend and you get fed, but NEVER forget this sucker can burst you down faster than you can say "HUE GET W'D" (a major inconvenience) if you aren't cautious.
Tryndamere
While my respect goes to Tryndamere toplaners, most I see feel undying rage can get them a kill secure and walk away to back and buy with what they got fed. If they're unaware of how Vlad goes, feel free to utilize that, if they do know Vlad, play passive until you hit 6 and ult if they assess they CAN kill you even with spell vamp doing an undying rage while you're lower than normal. Other than that, a pretty even lane.
Malphite
While he's a threat with his huge knockup and stun, W cures that with what would be his potential burst initiator if you've practiced your timing. Just play passive till 6 and burst them hard when they get too pokey or try to zone you.
Nautilus
I'm mostly placing him here because I find people don't know how to respond to a Nautilus, which you SHOULD be seeing this guy bot lane, but if you see him top, feel free to poke with Q to your hearts content when his shield is DOWN. An error I see people make is bursting him with his shield up, denying them most of their damage then complaining later. That shield runs out eventually, and so does his mana. Just don't ever focus him and try to pick off teammates of his when he's not around. He's a great ally saver. Which makes him cool.
Vladimir
Facing a rival Vladimir? No Worries! If they aren't following this build, you'll probably out sustain them insanely, making them back as soon as you get spell vamp. Most Vladimir players that don't main him have no clue how many spell vamp items there are and think Q is all they need to use, which saddens me. Plus if they dare Doran's, they will be facing the music late game while you have hextech revolver already.
