Мид
МидUse E to stretch the red Q clock, not just to add damage; strong Vladimir lane play is often about making empowered Q last long enough that the opponent has to give up the step they wanted for the wave .
Vladimir’s scaling is much worse when he pays health, wave, and W just to survive lane, and recent data says he is one of the mids most punished by early 10-minute gold and CS holes .
The clean Vladimir all-in is a sequencing check: start arriving with charge already built, put R down before your damage lands so the amp belongs to the combo, and spend W on the return burst instead of making it part of the opener .
Pool for the spell or return burst that would otherwise stop your damage pattern, not for the first bit of pressure you see. In lane, that usually means saving W for the key trade breaker, jungle arrival, or the moment stepping up for red Q would become punishable. In fights, think of W as the beat that keeps your combo alive after R is already down and people finally turn on you. If you pool too early, enemies just back up and your short range gets exposed. If you pool after they commit, you buy time for healing, cooldowns, and your next Q to matter.
Every 30 points of bonus Health gives Vladimir 1 Ability Power and every 1 point of Ability Power gives Vladimir 1.6 bonus Health (does not stack with itself).
Vladimir steals life from the target enemy. When Vladimir's resource is full, Transfusion will benefit from massively increased damage and healing for a brief time.
Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood, becoming untargetable for 2 seconds. Additionally, enemies on the pool are slowed and Vladimir siphons life from them.
Vladimir pays his own health to charge up a reservoir of blood which, when released, deals damage in the area around him but can be blocked by enemy units.
Vladimir infects an area with a virulent plague. Affected enemies take increased damage for the duration. After a few seconds, Hemoplague deals magic damage to infected enemies and heals Vladimir for each enemy Champion hit.
