Tips Against Vladimir in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

forlid says “Vlad is a rare pick in top but he is quite annoying to lane against nonetheless. While you have an easy time poking him, his W makes all ins quite difficult since if he plays close to his tower he can always disengage in a moments notice. He scales very hard but is very weak early. Look to take trades at level 4 since you can burst him down quickly. Hexdrinker is a good option early since he does full AP.”
Frankoloko says “Shield + Second Wind start. Oblivion Orb next. You win lane hard since he needs a lot of items to get strong. It's useful to ult him in teamfights because he will destroy your team. Remember if you ult while his pool is up he's just going to pool and cost you half of your ult time.”

IvanBeifong says “You can go 3 points in Q or usual W max build, his ult is pretty good for fighting him, consider building a oblivion orb, doesn't matter if you sell it later in the game. be careful, he can cancel your W with his W.”

PetriciteLoL says “An insane lane bully that scales. Honestly this is one of those matchups if he gets ahead you literally can not do anything. I would say go either 3 Q into W or full W max with Conq and hope he doesnt have ignite.”

step1v9 says “Trade around his empowered Q. Once you force his W that is a good time to back off and wait for CDs to reengage later. If he has no PR then you can all-in once he uses W. Make sure to clear the jungle camps once you get prio so that he can't use them to heal. ”

LDaL says “PTA. Ignite and only ingnite. Because without it you will never kill the vlad who knows how champ is working and have faze rush. Vs him you need to play agresive if not, few minutes and he will be full again, never walk up close to him when his q charged, because then he will chunk you very hard and will heal himself. your w block his e, so you can use it. Recomend you to go for a trade every time he use his q on minions, mostly for short trade, if he is runing away you can deal a bit more auto and go back. After 6 be ready that good vlad will try to dodge your tornado with w, so try to bait it, and trow tornado at the end of e for ult. If you are bellow 40% and he has ignite, never fight 1v1 after he activete his ult, because he can even dive you under the turret. Go kraken, his passive much better vs vlad, just block his w, with ignite you hard win 1vs1.”

Raideru says “In early you want to trade with him as much as possible with your q and do short trades if possible, if his phase rush is ever down always e him in and then run him down even if he pools keep going after him, you beat him in all stages of the game”

Haxorr says “Vladimir is a really tough matchup for Jax as you will never be able to stun him if he uses his pool correctly, and he outdamages/outsustains you in almost all stages of the lane. Take DShield and Fleet Footwork rune setup and rush mercs -> ravenous hydra, similar to the other AP matchups in this extreme section. Any time he uses his q on a minion, you have a window to q, auto + w on him and walk away. If you are feeling confident/aggressive, you can bring ignite in this lane and go the PTA rune setup above instead. This gives you lots of early kill pressure if Vladimir messes up, but if he plays properly you will have a really rough time in lane.”

Tips Against Vladimir in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Hexeria says “[Only thing that is hard in this matchup is the early game and playing aroun his W] [Dont try to use your W or E when you know he has his pool up] [Other than that, just play safe early, get farm, and build either Bruiser or Tank, then he shouldnt be a problem]”

j4ss says “You can't do anything to kill and he'll just perma outscale you, dodge or call your jungler and support to perma camp him or it's GG.”
Yuhkis Ribs says “try not to die to him early back up when he has Q3. try denying him some farm ”

Tatsurion says “He does have infinite sustain, but needs to walk up to you to trade anyway, buying antiheal here obviously helps you tremendously. W is a long ass cooldown so time your ult for when its down Conq works fine if the comp allows”
MachineHeraldTTV says “First Strike. Tear + Magic mantle, Liandry, Seraphs is your best bet. he wins if you try to trade with him early, he can be easily poked down after Liandry. if you die once early he dives you 24/7.”

GreenReapers says “Any page viable. With Conqueror or against Aery Vlad take D-shield, else you should be fine with a Long Sword start and some sustain in the runes. Taking a summoner setup with Ignite is rather important due to his heal and to use your early pressure more effectively. You want to trade when he doesn't have his empowered Q or if you want to go for an extended trade, if he's not close to getting it and disengage before he can land it. As time goes on this matchup becomes more and more about mindgaming his W. Varying the amount of time you delay your Qs for after placing W can catch him offguard and make him use his pool even though you still have your Qs, leading to a very favourable trade. Post 6 the W becomes even more important to the trades, as he potentially deny your whole burst. Focusing on kiting is very effective, as Vladimir has rather low range. If you are even or ahead, there will come a point in time, where Vladimir has to decide wether to not W your combo and eat a shitload of damage, but not be as vulnerable to a follow up, or the reverse of it, creating a very uncomfortable position for him. Not that he can W your Death Mark, but you will still be able to hit him with 3 Q's, assuming you didn't instant Q. His pool lasts for 2 seconds, making it very punishable if you manage to mindgame it. Later on it becomes very hard to shut him down alone, due to his insane late game.”

support_diff says “Vladimir is one of the champions with the most self heal in the whole game. If you poke him with your Q, he will take the health back from you with his own Q. He is also pretty much invulnerable to your close trades as he can just dive into his personal bloodpool with his W and get away from you. This also means that he is really hard to gank. You pretty much can't win against him early, so your goal is to win him in terms of farm and keep your distance. You can't kill him, but he has a hard time killing you too”

vitya331 says “A lot of people say Vladimir is not a very bad match up and it seems they are right, but personally for me its a perma ban i do not enjoy playing against him. He will overheal and poke you early game but after you get lost chapter he is not a strong threat just walk up to him and try to trade and use your E only after he wastes his W or if you are sure he will not dodge it.”
