I. A little backstory...

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Skip if you don't like storytelling ^^

When i started playing LoL i encountered lots of different champions. I started out playing when he was free, and i liked him. A little while after i encountered a little girl with a big fire bear. I immediately buyed her. Later i came across but well... I sucked playing him. So i tried when he was free and later i played .

So came the time i got my first 6300 IP. I had saved up, and i wanted to buy a strong new champ. In the start i wanted but at the time being i fell in love with . His skills looked really powerful, and i watched some videos and guides for him, and i felt he was outstanding. So i bought him. And well, i just trashed him. After like 10 - 20 matches with him, i just found out i couldn't ****ing play him. I regretted the buy, and kept on my daily life.

So, later i just entered a random game. Completely random game, random day. And i thought, why not try ? It's so long ago. So well i tried him. I was like lvl 25 now, and somehow, i did extremely well. I'm not sure what i ended up with, but i think it was either 7/0/X or 14/7/X. Anyways i just loved him, and i've done since. I got my own playstyle, and for now i wanna show you guys how i play .

II. Introduction

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Hi all, and welcome to my fourth and most in depth guide here on MOBAFIRE. This guide features my first 6300 IP champion (You know if you read above), which i will be explaining from the very start to the end.

I will explain the basic things about , why you should max what, what items that is viable for , and how to counter specific lane opponents. Of course i will explain alot more, but you will read yourself.

This is the Don't Feed Vladimir, made by Ciderhelm. It's (IMO) better than Phreaks spotlights,
and i would recommend you watch it.

III. What you need to play Vladimir

space

Vladimir (6300 IP)
You need to lasthit ATLEAST 70% of your minions in lane (Preferable 95%)
You need to have quick reflexes
You need to have knowledge of mid lane (Check this awesome guide (By me) for learning how to mid lane, if you are new)
You need to have fun playing Vladimir

That's just the basic things, you will also need skill, and that comes from practice, practice, practice...

IV. Lore

There is a temple hidden in the mountains between Noxus and the Tempest Flats, where the secrets of an ancient and terrifying sorcery are kept. The area surrounding the temple is littered with the exsanguinated corpses of those who have mistakenly wandered too close. These served only to pique the curiosity of Vladimir, when – in his youth – he trekked through these mountains during his flight from Noxus. A day earlier, the teenaged Vladimir had brutally murdered two boys his age, for no better reason than to enjoy the intoxicating scarlet bloom that surged forth. He realized immediately that he would never be able to suppress his murderous desires, and if he remained in Noxus, his foul deeds were sure to catch up with him. Without hesitation, he abandoned the city-state, and journeyed south.
The trail of bodies led him to a crumbling stone temple. Inside he found an aging monk who appraised him with eyes of pure crimson. Vladimir surprised the monk by returning the wicked gaze with zeal. Recognizing the boy’s sinister craving, the monk taught Vladimir how to manipulate and control the fluid of life, often practicing on passing travelers. When it came time for Vladimir to learn the final lesson, the monk warned that failure would result in death. Vladimir did not fail, but success bore a grisly surprise. During the ritual, every drop of the monk’s blood was drawn from his body and fused with Vladimir’s, imbuing him with his master's magical essence, and that of every hemomancer before him. Left alone and suddenly without purpose, Vladimir resolved to return to Noxus, demanding enrollment in the League to prove the supremacy of his craft. When the Noxian High Command observed the gruesome fates which befell the palace guards, they elected to avail themselves of Vladimir's unsavory talents.

"That which runs through you will run you through."
Vladimir

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration Is pretty much the only marks you will ever want on Vladimir. Mpen is needed for damage. Damage means kills. Kills means gold which means more kills. More kills means dominance. Dominance means win.
Greater Seal of Health Well, these is pretty ok. You will start with a little more health, which will make you even more durable early game.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power Vladimir scales of AP, so we need these.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power These are pretty nice early game, they will help our poking alot. They could be swapped for Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed if you prefer that.

VIII. Summoner Spells - The Amazing, The Good and the Bad!

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

The Amazing

: // This spell is great. Great for that extra little blink so you can fire the lasthitting . Great for initiating teamfights. Great for chasing. Great for wall blinking. Great. Take it or leave it. I mean take it :3

space

: // This spell is pretty great, not only does it act as a good finisher, but it also, and most importantly adds alot of TRUE damage to your spell combo. SHouldn't really explain more, it's 99% offensive.

space

: // This spell is great for map control, farming, solotop(I.E. Farming ;P) and just for the amazing advantage it gives. If you prefer this take it or if nobody on your team has it (And you feel you can do it without ).

The Good

: // I've seen alot of s running lately. I really disagree, cause this is midlane. To escape a gank, we have . If the jungler double ganks us, ghost will only let us get to our turret faster, and the turret is like 5 steps away. I really prefer but i could try this out. Flash let's use wallblink, it's a vital move.

space

: // If any of you guys saw IPL 4, you will have this in mind. Dyrus played alot in top, and he ran , . It can be a great spell, but i feel we have the sustain, we have the anti tower dive ().

space

: // It's better suited on junglers like and but it will give you an edge in battle.

The Bad

These spells...Nah.. .. Leave it for supports.
-.-'...
if you wanna troll,
if you go jungle Vladimir, which i really don't recommend.
kinda nooot.
is ok, but buy a QQS if you feel you need it.
This is not dominion, so no for you.
... Error 404...
I've seen once in my whole LoL experience. One time. And it sucked. BTW still Error 404.

IX. Vladimir's Voracious Skillset

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Crimson Pact: // This is truly awesome! This passive is undoubtly the best AP caster passive in the game. It allows to build full AP build, while still having TONS OF HEALTH and deal TONS OF DAMAGE!

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Transfusion: // Vladimir drains life from his target.

Transfusion is s bread and butter. It's his main damage source, his main poke/harass, his sustain, well, it's just what you want to max first no doubt.

The worst thing about this skill is the cooldown. It's insanely long at rank 1, but by lvling it, it's down to like 3 secs.

Tips and Tricks

// You can use this to lasthit minions very well. And, you will have some free sustain.
// By the time you reach lvl 6 - 7, you should aggresively poke in lane.
// Consider asking for blue if noone on your team needs badly, as the Blue + Elixir of Brilliance will reduce the cooldown of this spell alot.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Sanguine Pool: // sinks into a pool of blood and becomes untargetable in 2 seconds, while he damages all enemies in the pool, healing a percentage of the dmg.

This is an amazing spell. However, it seperates bad s from good ones. You need good reflexes and timing, to ues this well. This can be used to dodge/escape and also for a chase. Only, and i mean ONLY farm with this spell lategame, where it has 9 sec CD, and make sure no enemies are nearby. In laning phase, save it for jungle ganks.

We will max this out last. Actually, lvling it lowers the CD, but we need to do more dmg.

Tips and Tricks

// Don't use this to farm in the laning phase. Transfusion and Tides of Blood is faster, safer, and doesn't kill your HP.
// Practice the timing of this skill, maybe vs a friend who plays Ashe, then make him use his Enchanted Crystal Arrow random times, and try dodge it. Really, practice makes perfect.
// Look in the When to Pool section to learn more.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Tides of Blood: // This skill sends damaging blood projectiles (swords?) onto nearby enemies. This is easy farming, also alot of damage in teamfights. We max this out second, for damage potential.

Tips and Tricks

// It's a great farming ablility, but be sure not to use it too much without Transfusion on minions. It can kill your HP pretty fast.
// Remember it gives more healing increase for each stack. Use it to heal more with Transfusion
// It also does more dmg per stack. Try to keep it up in teamfights.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Hemoplague: // Vladimir infects target area with a virulent plague, all enemies hit takes 12% more dmg from all sources in 5 seconds. When the effect ends, a large amount of damage is taken.

Huhehuehue, yo just try to ult, i got a little trick for ya!
Heh, well this spell is amazing. It's AoE and can hit all enemies at once, and it will also grant your whole team increased damage to infected enemies. Lategame, this spell does a hugeload of damage, and the % damage is really cool for your carries. Take a point whenever you can.

Tips and Tricks

// Early game, the damage is pretty low, so don't rely on it as a finisher.
// Try to hit atleast 3 people in teamfights.
// Keep in mind, that lategame, it will be up every teamfight. Don't save it for the last moment, always ult in the start of the battle!

X. Skill Sequence Explained

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

>>>

Generally, this is our skill sequence. We (Obiviously...) want to max out whenever possible. It's important and i think we all know it lol...
Max your first, as stated above it's our bread and butter, and without this we have no damage. Secondly, we should max out for the AoE damage it provides, and the farming. Maxing last is just what it is, we still take a point in lvl 2 for early ganks.

XI. Vladimir's Dreadful Combo's

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Harrasing Combo

This isn't really a combo... But whatever. It's pretty straight forward, run up to them when they are about to lasthit, . Pretty simple huh?

Killing Combo

> > > > > >

This combo is pretty killer. Your enemy should have atleast 75% HP back, if they have less (50%) it has more chance of succeding. Now, by the time your lvl 6 - 7, surprise them with going in with , , and . This can happen very fast, and i feel that if most ppl will away.

If they are alredy in tower range just pray they will die, but if you feel confident, use to chase them. It gives a movespeed boost upon activation, so you can chase them, slow them, and when you emerge from the pool you can again use and . Not many champs can withstand.

Teamfight combo

> > > > > >

This is pretty much the same as above. Besides that we always use first when in the fray, as it will come off cooldown faster, which means more AoE damage. As always, consider going for a target.

When i teamfight i always try to hit the carry togheter with the team. Then i and the carry. They are now aware we are going for them. This is were we go in . Chase them. Emerge. Combo again. Dead. Win... This might be dangerous, as you will get 4 enemys in your back. Otherwise you can just focus on dealing AoE damage and Transfusion the squishies.

XII. Idyllic Item Choices

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

This is what items that i feel is viable for my playstyle. Whatever you will need for , you will find here. The build #1 in cheet sheet is my main build, but some items are situational. If you find clustering teamfights pretty hard, and at the same time their carry is focusing you, go for . You could go for if the enemy is AP heavy or just strong AP carries like and .

It's all about getting the sense for items you need. Feel how the game is going, and then get what you need. Usually i just follow my normal build. But situational is important.

XIII. Elegant Early Game 1 - 6

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Early Game

As for now, you picked in the champion select, you called "mid", and your team agree with that. Good. When the game starts, buy and x 3. Go to blue or red buff, depending on your jungler. If you have no jungler just skip. Defend the buff until 01:55 where you leash for them.

Now we are in the laning game. The laning game is the part of the game, where you need dominance. First priority is farming. Farming is essential, and it is your main gold source. It gives a great amount of gold if you farm well, but the thing with is, that he is rather difficult to lasthit with. That's why you in the early lvls should use as a farming tool, and play rather passive, unless your enemy is who you should aggresively poke from the early lvls.

By the time you hit lvl 6, you should have farmed and played rather passive (unless you enemy is easily zoned, always zone if you can) for some time now. Now, you should start poking alot. Poking with is rather easy, look in combo section. Also, some champions will have a strong ultimate now, and they actually want you to come up close (I.E. , ).

I prefer the Killing combo at lvl 7, when your is rank 4. Make sure you enemy is below 75% HP, lower is even better, and then unleash the combo as surprise. If they out of your range, don't panic after them. Always remember that your has much lower CD than flash. If you were succesful, great, go back and buy some new pretty stuff.

XIV. Marvelous Mid Game

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Mid Game

Mid game is a pretty good phase for . He get's his at rank 5, and can pretty much stay in the lane forever.
By the time you maybe got a kill, wait for your to come back up, farm minions as always. You should atleast have your 2 first items.

In midgame, consider ganking other lanes. Ganking bot or top will give your team an edge in the other lanes. Counterjungling is also and option. By taking their blue at 7:10 - 7:20 will deny the enemy AP carry (If they are mana using) alot of power.

By 15 minutes, if everything went right, you should have farmed 100 CS~. You could possibly have taken down a tower or two now. But the charactaristics of midgame is usually Dragon.

XV. Dubious Dragon Control

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Dragon is the second strongest monster on Summoners Rift. It has a lot of HP, and damage, with a burning DoT. Dragon spawns at 2:30. By killing dragon, your whole team is granted 190 Gold and the killer is granted an additional 25 gold.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

In midgame, dragon control is important. It gives the team that kills it a gold advantage. The reason two people are bot and not top, is because of dragon. If the enemy team tries to take dragon, bottom, mid, and possibly the jungler is close.

Now what about the dragon control? When should we take dragon?
Well, here is it in short. Bottom is the key. If their bot is dead/back you can take dragon with ease. Therefor, when you are about to take dragon, make a fast, deadly gank bot with your jungler. 4v2 will force a recall or death.

When they are gone, go for dragon immediatly. One thing to remember is, that you should keep their jungler away at all costs. He will smitesteal it and rub in it in ALL chat while he makes a trollface. Keep him busy.

XVI. Luxurious Lategame

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Late Game

This is were truly shines. s lategame damage is going skyhigh, and his teamfighting is insane. In lategame, you will need to stick to your team. Don't go too long away from safety when enemies are missing. Farm when possible.

Picking out little that carelessly farms, take your jungler with you and kill her, maybe make her waste her ult. Now, their teamfight is pretty weakened. When one member is dead you should always force a baron fight or pushing teamfight.

For teamfight combo, look in combo section. Anyways, in lategame, it's all about forcing baron fights, pushing and ganking lonely farmers. Theres not much to say. Be sure not to be the lonely farmer that get's killed and resulst in a loss.

XVII. When to Pool - What skills to avoid

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
This topic has been taken up in alot of guides, and i will take it up again. is a really unique skill, and will take timing and skill to use.

General

When a high damaging ultimate/other spell or stun is incoming (I.E. Veigars Primordial Burst, or Taric trying to stun you when you get chased by the entire team).
When you're towerdiving, go Transfusion & Tides of Blood, followed by pool, to negate tower aggro, and wait for cooldowns.
When a strong Anticarry such as Kassadin, LeBlanc, Fiddlesticks or Akali appears.
(unknown embed type)
Atm, im too lazy to make a complete list of which spells to avoid :3 I'll maybe work on that in the future.

XVIII. Why Will of the Ancients so late?

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Yes, as many have mentioned, i take very early, but upgrade it as my last item. Why? Let's take a look at the stats. We assume that the 1100G taken from upgrading to has been made into a instead. 500 more G, so we add a , we won't get that normally, but well, u will get the point.

spacespacespacespacespa

120 AP
12% Spellvamp

100 AP
20% Spellvamp

So, what's the best? Let's see. We will have more AP with the first one, and we will get deathcap alot faster. Which is really a core item. But 8% more spellvamp on the other, and an aura for allies. Greater you think?

30+ AP for allies, is useless in the current meta. Usually there will be only you as AP, or a toplaner, but he will just AFK farm top. Which means, aura is a waste that early. Other things to mention. If you do 300 DMG with Q, you will heal for a base amount and the spellvamp bonus which means 60 with 20% spellvamp, and 36 with 12%. It's 24 increase. But to keep in mind, if you have 12%, you will have more AP, which equals to more healing. Also, as you get your in 2000 gold, you will have at the same time. Which means even more healing for the first one. Also, what really matters, is his Q flat heal, which scales of your AP. So overall, you don't really need to upgrade it, before lategame. If you found this strange and messy, leave a comment, i did my best to tell you :)

XIX. Vladimir vs All - How to counter specific lane opponents

Difficult Laning Opponents (Replay edition):

This chapter is devoted to show you all how to handle lane opponents. I'll go play alot of for the next days, and add the champions i played vs here, with replay. Enjoy!

SPACE

is a classic mage counter because of her sustain, shield and kit. But as for you will beat the hell out of this b*tch. Early lvls, poke her aggresively with don't stop doing it, we don't want her to farm up for the instawin teamfight morgana. By lvl 6 she get's a bit harder, she got her ult, and when you are catched by it, you won't stop it with . Always push the lane post 6, as she must not roam. The Morgana in the replay was not very skilled (Maxed Q first) but i handled her well, if i meet a more skilled one i will add it.

Difficulty Easy - Medium.

SPACE

This is a lane you don't want to face. Especially not if the is a skilled one. Bad 's will play passive until they hit 6, but good ones will take advantage from their twillight shroud from lvl 2. She will put her shroud all over the minions, if you try to get close to lasthit, she will be there with mark of the assasin + AA. Always rush after and place a in lane.

Difficulty: Hard.

is a tricky fella'. He relies on farming alot of AP from his . You will stop him. From lvl 1, keep an eye on your minions. When one get's low, he will most likely go up to it and lasthit with . Use then. If his cage is around you, don't run to the edges. He will burst you down. Stay in the middle until the cage is gone, and maybe poke back. If he decides to W/R/Ignite/Q, his spells in midair. Get a early, and harrass him all day, you should be fine if you play carefully.

No replay available yet.

Difficulty Easy - Medium.

SPACE

This guy is funny. He was my main champion a long time, kinda not played him a while. He will harrass and lasthit with , dodge it, stay behind minions. He will most likely stack electrial surge, and AA you, then W for harrass and maybe follow up with E and Q. If he tries, make him try to throw W on you, him and , if he goes aggresive, don't let him get you with stun. Pool out of it in last second. Just harrass him often, but care at 6, his ult will not do major damage alone, but it will stun fast, and his other spells will add up damage.

No replay available yet.

Difficulty Medium.

SPACE

is a fox. Not much to say, but she is scary. Dodge her skillshots, and DON'T GET HIT BY ! She can combo you from there. Watch out for surprise attacks with + fox fire and then quick . If you are long from your tower, run, and pool when you feel it's safe, or save if she towerdives. Don't be too reckless, her burst is massive with Q/W. Poke aggresively, dodge skillshots, don't rely on killing her post 6, unless ult is on CD.

No replay available yet.

Difficulty Medium.

XX. Summary

It had to come to end end, dear readers, this is the end of my guide. I spended a great amount of time to make this, and as i still need to add more pictures and videos, you can look forward to this guide :)

is an exceptional champion, with great poke and sustain, he has great teamfight potential, and is a good allaround champion that can be played mid or top lane. Contrary to what Riot states, he is not as easy as the information states, he is abit hard to learn, but easy when you get the hang of him.

Do not trollvote this guide, i have spend hours to make it, and if you disagree, don't just recklessly downvote, leave a comment and i'll answer as fast as i can. Im not gonna change my playstyle unless i feel your way is better, and i'll ofcourse tell you why my way is better (if it is).
