Playing against Vladimir

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Grievous Wounds is MANDATORY: Vladimir is a drain tank, reduced healing makes him much easier to kill.

2

Punish him in the early game: Vladimir is weak before his items and levels. Zone him off farm.

3

His W (pool) has a long cooldown (28-20s): engage after he uses it.

4

When he R's, back off: damage is amplified for 4s then explodes. Spread to reduce the impact.
