3v3 makes Vlad viable as he doesn't get bursted as easily and can play the attrition game all day.

Twisted Treeline, you can have Vlad, but give us back Mundo! >:|

Actually, Vlad is far worse on 3v3 than 5v5. Early game vlad has poor damage, okay laning, and terrible teamfights. In addition, the lower number of people means less people to take advantage of his Ult's increased damage.

Vlad needs farm to do well, but on 3's, there's a lot of other objectives that come before farming. For example, Dragon (280 gold per player, kills are 300 each). Many decent teams can do dragon at lv5 or 6. This is before Vlad can effectively fight.

I'd LOL if I saw Vlad on 3's

I got carried by a vlad who stacked revolvers, good that ended
