How to beat Vladimir

Common role: Mid / Top

A sustain mage who is helpless early and unkillable late.

What makes Vladimir dangerous

Vladimir harasses with Q at no mana cost, pools (W) to become untargetable and dodge everything, and scales into a teamfight monster whose ultimate amplifies all damage on your team. If he survives laning, he wins the game by simply outlasting you.

How to play against Vladimir

• 1Punish him hard levels 1–6 — he is one of the weakest early laners in the game.
• 2Bring Grievous Wounds early; it cripples his sustain and teamfight healing.
• 3Bait his pool (W) before you commit your combo — he wastes it and is then exposed.
• 4All-in before he hits 2 items; every minute you wait he gets stronger.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Extremely weak first six levels — his worst point in the game.
• ✓Has zero hard CC, so he relies entirely on health and healing.
• ✓Low mobility outside of pool; lock him down before it comes up.
• ✓Health-cost abilities let you race him down when he is low.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Vladimir's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Kızıl Akit

  Her 30 İlave Can, Vladimir'e 1 Yetenek Gücü ve her 1 Yetenek Gücü, Vladimir'e 1,6 İlave Can verir (kendi sağladığı avantaj birikmez).

  Strong: converts bonus health into AP and vice versa, so he scales in both. Weak: this makes him weak early with neither stat — punish levels 1-6.

• Q
  Kan Nakli

  Vladimir hedefinden can çeker. Vladimir'in kaynağı dolduğunda, Kan Nakli kısa süreliğine büyük oranda hasar ve iyileştirme artışı sağlar.

  Strong: no-cost heal-and-poke that sustains him through harass. Weak: on cooldown he has no sustain — trade in the gap and bring Grievous Wounds.

• W
  Kızıl Havuz

  Vladimir bir kan havuzuna dalarak 2 saniyeliğine hedef alınamaz hale gelir. Ayrıca Vladimir havuzun üstünde duran rakipleri yavaşlatır ve onlardan can sömürür.

  Strong: pool makes him untargetable, dodging any ability or ult. Weak: costs a chunk of health and roots him in place — bait it, then all-in.

• E
  Kan Yağmuru

  Vladimir kendi canını feda ederek kan depolamaya başlar ve depolanan kan, serbest bırakıldığı zaman çevresindeki alana hasar verir; ancak rakipler tarafından engellenebilir.

  Strong: a charged AoE that shreds waves and pokes hard when empowered. Weak: the empowered version is slow — step out of the circle before it lands.

• R
  Kan Vebası

  Vladimir belli bir bölgeye bulaşıcı bir hastalık yayar. Etkilenen rakipler, etki süresi boyunca artacak şekilde hasar alır. Kan Vebası, birkaç saniye sonra etkisi altındaki rakiplere büyü hasarı verir ve Vladimir'i hasar alan şampiyon başına iyileştirir.

  Strong: amplifies all damage on the enemies hit — a game-winning teamfight ult. Weak: it does little burst by itself; if his team can't follow up, it's wasted.

Itemization

Grievous Wounds is mandatory (Executioner's, Morellonomicon, Mortal Reminder). Magic resist and burst outrace his healing before he scales.
