Akali
I really hate akali matchup its so annoying, you will not be able to kill a good akali, play around her long w cooldown and try to fake going into her q range, you can pool e and maybe you can predict r 2. Just dont die or your lane is over
Champion Build Guide
General Knowledge
First and foremost the most important thing on Vlad is you have to play for yourself dont go to fights where you are not sure you will win it, think about how you can get the most gold on the map, YOU are the carry. You are not allowed to die midlane or you will get behind fast and laning phase will feel like you are playing dark souls for the first time. Its normal to get ****ed the first few games on Vlad just try to learn as much as possible from every matchup and learn the limits of your champ. Keep a track of the enemy jungler you are very vulnerable without W and cc is your biggest enemy. I recommend to ward enemy Raptores at min 1:05-1:20 to help you track the pathing. You have to be good at csing to be useful on Vlad unlike other champs you need to get as much gold as possible. Its Important to understand the key concepts of recall timers, tempo, wave management.
Early Game
Depending on the matchup you have to match push of the wave so try not to let him push into you very hard, If the enemy goes for a last hit try to punish with q. One key thing on vlad is movement you have not much range so you have to compensate by running into the enemy and threaten to q him if he wants to last hit a minion. Dont lose to much health without trading back vlads Health is like his mana you have to manage it be mindful that your W and E cost Health. Your W has a very long cooldown so when its not up consider stepping back to not get all in'ed and lose the laning phase.
Mid Game
Keep farming and eat plates until you are somewhat strong (2-3 items) once you have your rabba you are online. From here on you have to right just send it go ham try to hit the biggest ult u can hit and decimate the enemy healthbar. You are now a monster in teamfights try to flank or get a good angle to kill the enemy carries. Your priority picks are adc support dont bother killing tanks its not your job to kill them. Be aware that you are so so much stronger with summs up in a teamfight so really think about them before using them and standing in a teamfight with no summs and feeling completly useless.
Late Game
Once we are in the late game you should be one of the most broken champs try to catch waves and run to your team to help in teamfights, its hard to play against enemies with TP while you have ghost or ignite. But therefore you should be much stronger in all ins especially in situations like Nash fight or Drake etc.
Im sure you will get the hang of it :)
Helpful links& Tips
I recommend going on youtube and search for your match for example you play against yone just search for vlad vs yone there are tons of videos from high elo players, just look at the first 3-5 min while in loading screen or champ select and try to understand how the matchup works.
