Vladitop theorycrafting

[quote=Pølsemanden]I remember GMD playing a defensive vladimir, which seems to work really well(only thing that really beats it is akali). Against AD champs: Rush [[Glacial shroud]] The cdr and armor makes you unkillable. Against AP champs: Rush [[spirit visage]] the cdr, healing increase and magic resist makes you unkillable.[/quote]

[quote=Jaster111]Thank you! I realised that I really was stupid for rushing Warmog's and started with Revolver :) One question more: If the enemy team has a fed ADC, what should I buy (Perhaps [[Zhonya's Hourglass]]?) and what to buy if they have a fed APC? I am currently thinking on some AP items that give MR.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Vladimir? Didn't see one for ages.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210][quote=NicknameMy] Vladimir? Didn't see one for ages. [/quote] Thats what I'm thinking as well. Time to pick him up before everyone else. Any tips on a runepage?[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]MPen Marks Scaling HP Seals or Armor against AD mid/top Scaling AP Glyphs or Magic Resist (not necessary usually) Flat AP/Movespeed/Spell Vamp quints. My favorite? Flat AP I must say.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Against a fed ADC Zhonyas is good. Against a fed APC abyssal scepter is good. But resistances arent as good as they were in s2, going for health is widely considered a much better choice. One or two resist pieces are plenty if you arent going straight tank. Edit (so no one jumps my ass correcting me) It was just announced that Health is getting a major nerf. So health and resistances are once again about as equally important. Carry on.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao]Early [[hextech revolver]] then some health-ish items ([[rylai's crystal scepter]], [[liandry's torment]], etc) I don't play a lot of [[vladimir]], but that's what I see built early on him.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][[Fiendish Codex]] and [[Seeker's Armguard]] seem very promising now on Vlad.[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka][quote=GrandmasterD] [[Fiendish Codex]] and [[Seeker's Armguard]] seem very promising now on Vlad. [/quote] The only Codex upgrade that seems viable on him is the [[Morellonomicon]] (on SR). The AS on [[Nashor's Tooth]] simply isn't worth paying for and [[Athene's Unholy Grail]] doesn't have as much AP. I'm pretty sure that, unless you need the 'nomicon passive, you shouldn't build a Codex at all. Given that Zhonya's is already good on Vlad, there shouldn't be an issue with an early Seeker's Armguard against some lanes.[/quote]
