woops :P that's a mistake. Well i would only come across the MR stacking if my team is mostly AP, as if the enemy team is going to waste gold on MR so early on without finishing their build. Say for a Yi, getting MR instead of AS or AD would make him usless at killing anyone else not AP based. And thats is why you have the MP at the start form runes to slighly counter this affect.

Umm... You have six points in Sanguine Pool and four in Tides of Blood... Also, when you get into higher-level games, players start stacking MR almost from the get-go, especially when they see a Vlad on the opposing team at the loading screen.

You get this vote primarily because both of your Seal choices are pretty worthless for Vlad. You are far better off getting health per level or AP per level, and that is because it actually benefits your passive.

Nothing personal, I just think there are better ways to build him IMO.

To be honest, it's all up to your style.
I go 9/21/0 as well, because I find that 60 HP and reduced quite awesome through the whole game.
You said you went 15/12/9? Well, a good Vlad dies once or two per game... You just can't risk getting in a sticky situation, that's why i usually observe Top and Bot, and if one of my allies die I know that my enemy surely lost some hp so I go to finish them off. Going 9/0/21 is a nice way for Vlad, but to be honest, an overrated one. You get the beneficial EXP advantage and CD reduction, but reduction helps only in levels 1-5/7. Though a speed buff is great on Vladimir, it's not needed as I always grab with BoM. And yeah, Mister Owner, Vlad shines throughout the whole game. He gets an awesome advantage once he has maxed Transfusion and Tides of Bloods (Level 12-14 I believe), then with a BoM, WoTA, Rylai and usually Rabadon (being fed included almost 9/10 games) you will destroy everyone with less than 50 MR, easily. You can always go all fun and get 4 Rabadon's, along with Elixirs it grant you about 1,100 AP, which makes your Ultimate not be avoided.

Awsome build man, not many people start with boots for vlad. ^^

what masteries would you suggest? the 9/21/0? i find that one to not be as beneficial, early game, in spamming abilities and farming. Sure it might give the 5% damage reduction but this si insignificant at the lower lvls, the time where you really shine, not late game.

and i will try and work on the guide ie add pics. For the detail what would you like me to add and also how do you add pictures, such as skills?

i love this build but the problem i find is in your masteries .....
n also this build isn't in tht depth .. i would change my vote after you try to change a little bit ..

also get some image a reader would get bored :( reading it .....

n yes i went /15/12/9
wit this build but i play a good vlad ...

@mowen i usually get it late as i already have spell amp form hextech and would rather be focusing on damage early, while getting survival later. As like i said i believe vlad is an early her champ so why not take full advantage, you want to dps nuke them not heal your yourself.

@nand put simply, the slow is just to great to pass i feel it a necessity early on as it drastically improves your ganging power. Also used in combination with your tides is makes for a decent slow when getting away.
