I've noticed a trend for a few games with Vlad. I've seen Vladmir's rushing warmogs as the 1st item! Then another time I saw a vlad stacking warmogs? I know his passive gives AP for every bit of health you have, but is it really that worth it? Are you all just afraid of dying that much, or is it that you don't use your Q enough? I'm just seriously wondering as I build Vlad straight AP, and just nuke people.

When he's free I like to play him for a few free wins and I have to say: Whenever they rush Warmog's I let out the loudest hyena laugh. I build him straight up AP because you're getting HP from AP items anyways, he's already bulky enough with a Rylai's. If you throw on a Rabadon's really quick it's easy as hell to get enough HP to do as well or even better than the Warmog's rushers. The Warmog's does provide a little extra early bulk but makes him very lackluster in terms of damage. But, he's already good enough as a champion it's easy to do well no matter what build you go because his skills do a ridiculous amount of damage for the CD that it has.

It confounds me as well. I don't think it's worth it... especially if you read the thread about warmog's and how it's not worth it defensively until you have resistances.

I feel like I have plenty of health after Rylai's which I try to get as early as I can. I think rushing warmog's is kind've a waste... :(
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

It's even more ridiculous now that his Hp to AP ratio was nerfed.

I've tried only a few games with vladimir (not really my type of character but still) and i noticed getting 1 warmogs can't hurt, but rushing warmogs is indeed a waste.
Rylai's does give a nice health/ap boost which in turn boosts their opposit effects.
Also the slow makes things alot easier to chase opponents with the very very short cooldown Q.
I only once got a lower k/d score when i tried him the first few times and was new to the game.

That coming from someone who plays support/assassin types like evelyn, shen, sona and my main irelia *she has no stealth but i considder her an assassin ;)* just shows how good vlad is.

It does give you more health, so not a PURE waste imo.

The only reason that you would WANT warmog's is for the bonus damage on his pool. I have THOUGHT of trying 5 warmog's and nuking with pool, but...
The bonus AP isn't worth it.

Definitely true. It wasn't even worth it before the nerf.
