Learn how to Vladimir counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Track Vladimir's W (Sanguine Pool) cooldown which starts at 28 seconds at rank 1. When it's on cooldown, look to engage as he has no escape tools.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Back away when Vladimir's resource bar turns red (empowered Q ready) — this version deals 85% more damage and significantly increases his healing.
Basic Lane Phase
Prioritize fighting Vladimir before level 9 when his Q cooldown is still high — after Q is maxed, its cooldown drops to 4.6 seconds with constant healing.
Lane Phase
Maintain some distance from teammates during team fights — Vladimir's R affects all enemies in a 375-radius area and amplifies all damage they take by 10%.
Team Fight
Ward side bushes and flanking routes before team fights — Vladimir often looks to approach from unexpected angles to hit multiple targets with his ultimate.
Team Fight
Buy healing reduction items early if possible — Vladimir's sustain from his Q and W makes him difficult to wear down without it, especially after the laning phase.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Vladimir's E and W both cost health (up to 8% max health for E and 15% current health for W) — consistent poke can make these abilities riskier for him to use.
Lane Phase
Harass Vladimir from outside his Q range (600 units) — his primary damage and sustain tool requires him to get within this medium range to be effective.
Advanced Lane Phase
Vladimir can't use abilities during his W (Pool) except for recasting E if it was already charging — save your key abilities until after he becomes targetable again.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Focus targets marked by Vladimir's ultimate (visible by a red debuff) — they take 10% increased damage from all sources, creating an opportunity for your team.
