I think hes a bit overrated power wise. Sure he is really powerful, with his heal, escape tool, and AOEs, but overall too many people think your invincible as him. all I hear is Vlad is unbeatable, but i beat the regulars with swain. Iv seen a few that stand out as really good as him...but the rest...no.

Vlad is a champ that can get fed much easily than other champs off of bad players and snowballs really hard. He is still a nuisance if not fed. He is so easy to play because he practically plays himself. Sure there are champs who can deal with him levels 1-7, but the skill investment on their part is far greater than the vlad player, and he will eventually get to level 9 anyways.

I play Ezreal and Malzahar mid against him and destroy.
