This Guide isn't Fully Developed yet,it's in a so called "beta-phase",besides it's also my First one.

I Turned C2V on Because of an Request,if some of you dont like this i am gonna turn it off again.

Pros:

-He is very Good at Trading with Mages and most Melees.
-He is a Tanky but still offers a High Damage output.
-He can Literally Heal himself within Second to Full-Health.
-He has an Ultimate that can Boost any income Damage to Enemies.
-Bloodpool,do i need to say more?
-He Can Destroy a Creep-Wave with his Skills.
-He is very Good at Farming.

Cons:

-He is Countered by CC.
-Enemies with Movement-Abilities like Renekton or Gragas will Destroy him Early- and Mid-Game

Runes:

Marks:

You an either use Greater Mark of Magic Penetration if you'ld like to do a bit more Damage with your Abilities,or Greater Mark of Hybrid Penetration if you like to autoattack your enemy and more lasthit.

Seals:

If you're against an Attack-Damage-Champion its the Best to go Greater Seal of Armor ,If not Always use the Greater Seal of Scaling Health ,And if you want to Dominate Early on a bit more use the Greater Seal of Health .

Glyphs:

I Recommend to run Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power against any Attack-Damage-Champions,Alternatively you could also run the Greater Glyph of Ability Power for more Early Damage.
Against Mages its Recommended to use Either Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resistance or Greater Glyph of Magic Resistance.
Alternatively if you know you have an easy Lane you can also run the Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction.

Quintessences:

Theres a Wide Variety to choose from,
You can run the Greater Quintessence of Ability Power for Early Dominance or the Greater Quintessence of Scaling Ability Power for Mid-Lategame Power,You could also go in the Greater Quintessence of Health for Early Beefiness.
Also a good choice is the Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp for Spellvamp-Stacking and More Healing-Power.


The Choice is Yours,And Remember,you are able to Mix Runes so set them up as you like.

Masteries:

Offense-Tree:

They are only 2 Good Set-ups here,The one with the Moonflair Spellblade instead of Dangerous Game or the other way around.(Pictures below)

Defensive-Tree:

Normally with 9 points Left you should go the Normal Path(Picture Below),but if you feel you want to be Super-Beefy you can go 0x/21/0x(also Picture Below).

Normal 9-Points-Path.

Tanky Beefy Vampire.

Utility-Tree:

You can also go on this Tree with your Remaining 9 points,Or you can play Support Vladimir,Pissing off the Enemy with your endless Transfusions.(Pictures Below)

Normal 9-Points-Path.


Crazy Support Vladimir.

Summoner Spells:

Flash is your Must-Have-Skill,Take it always.



Ignite is useful against Champions with Healing Abilities,yourself included.



I often use Teleport because its to useful,First of all you can just Back off,Buy items,Teleport back and you just made very little loss in terms of creeps and exp.

Mind-Set and when to Pick Vladimir:

Mind-set:

Your Mind-Set should be that you want to be Focused on Farming against an Hard Lane and to Trade against an Easy Lane.Be Prepared to Trade Whenever you can with your Q and E against an Easy Lane and to be Prepared to Farm as much as you can Against an Hard Lane.

When to Pick Vladimir:

Vladimir is an Beefy Nuke-Mage who can Trade out other Mages,so Pick him Against these Foes:

Diana is pretty Easy,just Trade with her and Stay near your minions that she cant Lasthit them because otherwise she would take Damage.

Her Range is too Low to Get to you,Feel Free to Trade her all Day long.

SHe may has some good Mobility but you can still beat her,Just Trade and Pool if she tries to Combo You.

She cant really Burst you Down becuase of your Pool so feel Free to go all in and then if she uses her Ultimate use pool.


Just Wreck him,he cant really do something against you.

Just Trade him,if he comes near you run away and otherwise use Pool that he cant Fling you.

Harass him as long as you want.

He cant do Anything against you really,except maybe waiting for a gank,but thats another story.









Usually you can Take him on Almost Every Champ without an Mobility-Ability.

Vladimir's Stats:

Vladimir Stands at 485 health at Level 1 Without Modifications,His Health Increases to 85 Every Level he passes Giving him at Level 6 910,At Level 11 1335,And at Level 18 1930 Health without Modifications.

Vladimir's Health Regeneration is 6 Per 5 Seconds Without Modifications,This Increases every Level he Passes to 0.60 per 5.

Vladimirs Attack-Range is 450,Making it not Viable to Lasthit Only with Autoattacks.

Warding

COMING SOON

For some of you Wondering why i am Taking That is because of the 20% Cooldown-Reduction,That i have in Total 35% CDR to have my Transfusion and Tides of Blood Every 2.6 Seconds Ready,and to Harass the Living Hell out of the Enemy.You may Think "But there are Better Choices for Cooldown-Items aren't they?" Yes You would be Right,But This Item has 80 AP,20% CDR and That for only 2200 Gold,Besides The Grievous Wounds Passive is also very Nice against an Olaf or Mundo or such.So you may See That My Playstyle is that i am Abusing the Only-Cooldown-Limited Ability,I does that also on Rengar.But the better Thing on Vladimir is that he can Mages in Lane if he got those 2 Items(Will of the Ancients and Morellonomicon)
