Yes, but ONLY with trans.

Np, I'm not either, the better educated players are, the better the league of legends community. Your play style and concept of Vlad was fine, but I ran spell vamp when all this test stuff came out, like the 2nd day Vlad was out. SV is a great defensive item, truthfully theres so many good ones, you only need 1 or 2 to make the difference. I laugh as bait people because they are so used to a squishy Vlad, while I'm still relatively squish my group is ready and aware of my baiting. But an aegis is a must for any team, 1 person should almost always run that. I LOVE a Guardians for protecting my stacks. I have over 2300 hp @ lvl 12 in most games. Sanguine Pool I use for 2 things, running away and diving. When my team is a premade I use it to waste it, making the enemy 2 or 3 in front of me think they have a chance @ killing me since I cannot escape, or so they think, then the 4 of my team mates jump out of the bush. It's a much a meta game as click the right **** lol.

I would like to add the worst characters to face as Vlad

Garen, Akali, Shaco, (a would say twitch or eve, but rarely are they of the caliber to be an issue)

That's about all so far. I've died to many other champs but usually my fault or just good team play on their parts, but overall I think Vlad is one of the best champs in Mid out there. Garen, Akali, and Shaco rarely go mid, but in team fights they get on you fast. Again why I like Vlad in mid so much, he is one of the best at it in my opinion.

Um, i'm changing the build a deal anyways, but, basically. With the current (old) build, you'd do more damage with all 4 moves, as well as stealing more life via spell vamp on E and W moves. The Spirit Visage only affects Transfusion. With my build, the E move nearly does as much damage as the Q (I mean, im sure with the new mods, Q will just be way more useful, but).

The new build order im about to test (Tell me what you think) is:
Mejai's Soulstealer
Sorcerer's Boots
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Hextech Gunblade
Spirit Visage
Zhonya's Ring

HUH? Spirit Visage doesnt affect abilities? its CDR, hp regen and mr

Mejai
Basic Boots > to whatever sorc if you want, I like movement speed 3, or even mobility
Rylais
Haunting Guiest
Guardian Armor or SV
Zhonyas

the last three in whatever order, also an elixir of brillance at all times.

Dont get Gunblade, only revolver if you must, you dont need AD. and you get ur slow from you Rylai's already. Its more wasted gold. Haunting Guiest gives you AP/HP and bonus from both via passive and 20 magic pen, why I opt out of Sorc Shoes. With Mobility Boots I can cover the whole map and help my team. Which is more vauble than 20 magic pen where I can get else where. I play super aggressive after level 6 or 7

I skill
Q,E,Q,W,Q,R etc maxing transfusion, I dont need extra spell vamp because with some smart play I have 2-4 stacks on my Mejais by lvl 8 and am out lvling my opponents, giving me my max skill'd transfusion. Now my team and I can steam roll. Last night @ lvl 12 I had a 14 stack and the game was over pretty much 18 minutes in.

yellow cdr = .29% i think blue cdr = .65%

so BLUE > YELLOW
