    Yes. That was a brain-dead game and I decided to troll. I acutally did really well until GP and Yi started feeding a kill per minute.

    This is just guesswork on my part, but if Fizz calls up Urf to eat someone, that's fucking awesome.

    Also, I noticed something when League was patching. "Battle Bunny Riven". New Easter skin, methinks, but I wonder what it's going to look like.

    So I've been trying Vlad out and enjoying it, but my game is pretty sporadic. Sometimes I'm at 10 kills before I know what's happened, other times I feed hardcore. Any advice?

    The thing about Vlad (and Mundo) is that they cast from health, but you knew that.

    Vlad's start is not, nor will it ever be, standard. Regrowth pendant + one health pot is usually going to be your bread and butter with Vlad. Another thing; Obviously, he doesn't have mana, so you'll want to get items that benefit your AP and your health. Rylai's Crystal Scepter is pretty good for this.

    I've never played Vlad, but from what I can tell of the champion, you'll naturally build a lot of HP and HP Regen on him, so you can play off-tank if you need to.

    Also, just had a thought. Spell Vamp on Vlad?

    Been combining WotA and Hextech Revolver for a nice amount. Usually go Void Staff at some point too, CD boots. Been going Rylais, but I've been told Deathcap is a better choice.

    Boots + 3 hp pots are better than a regrowth pendant. It lets you get in, snipe a Q when the enemies CD's are down. At 1200 gold, immediately grab a Hextech for insane sustain.

    If you're going well, start building a DeathCap.

    If you're not doing well, upgrade to a WoTA so you're of some benefit in a fight.

    After Deathcap, grab a Void Staff then build as you see fit. Rylai's is always good and makes you tanky but it's not really good as a first item. Vlad's late game is meh compared to many other AP carries and he really excels in the mid-game, where he needs that damage.

    Just my experience of playing Vlad a hundred times. Sometimes, I even play him well.

    I'm not experienced or fanatical enough to really argue for or against characters, but the way I play him, I do way better then I ever did with Fizz.
    I run him with high AP items + Lich Bane and I was dropping everything I came near in Dominion. Farming his items is a pain in the ass in SR, but still doable. before taking into account enemy resistence, with 500 something AP, I Riftwalk in for 490 since I keep two stacks of it going minimum if I know I'm getting near someone, Null Sphere for 630, Force Pulse for 630. Now they're silenced, slowed to a crawl inside of a second and hit for 1,750 damage before reduction, not counting the damage I'll do when I swing. Take a chunk of that damage away for resists, sure, but he's got low enough cooldowns that when they see their health bar have half of it vanish, they usually bail, or try to, and I just Riftwalk again for another 500 something damage and rape them.

    Don't discount his autoattacks either, thanks to Lich Bane, it throws +500 on top of my auto attack after I use an ability making the auto 620 for the first swing, then activate Nether Blade to make the autos do another 195 for a total of 315 a swing after the first Lich Bane procced swing. I haven't played Ahri, so I dunno, but this dude has a bulilt in flash every 5 seconds, that does more damage the more you use it, silence, slow, built in magic resist. I love him.

    Then again I'm not playing as much SR. I got fucking tired of playing hour long games with retards where no matter how well I'd do the other 4 would just have high double digit deaths inside of the first half hour. I play Dominion almost exclusively, since I can get in and knock out a few when I have time. So the whole mechanic is different. I'm not sitting there farming or being harassed by a long range mid. I'm dropping in, raping, then RW back over the row of trees away from their friends.

    I don't take dominion seriously at all and I don't find it fun, but I can see why kassadin would be good there when his major faults aren't a big issue (sustain, farm, and early game). In SR, I wouldn't use 500AP as my baseline for comparing champs, and I wouldn't expect Kass to get that much in the average game.

    I just find him to need too many things. He needs AP for damage, mana to sustain his largest damage spell, survivability because his largest nuke requires you to be inside of your target with no escape for at least 5 seconds, and a lichbane to make up for his low AP ratios. Combined with his terrible early game that makes kills hard to get and rather poor farm, I just don't like the fucker. Dominion lets you bypass most of these issues so he probably is an amazing character there.

    Also one of the small things that I like about Fizz is that his AA range is 175 as opposed to the standard 125. Only Wukong, Jarvan, Xin, and Nautilus also have this extended range. 50 range might not seem like a lot, but that's 100 range you save running to and from that last hit which can save you from eating a lot of harass. It's small, but it makes a difference. Plus I throw lobsters at you now.

    Middy, you're building Kass wrong in Dom if you're rushing AP. He uses Ulti stacks for massive damage in Dom, with Q and E being utility/finishers/pokes. Most high Elo Dom players generally don't even build AP until the 4th item in on Kass.

    I'm playing at lvl 20, and if I'm killing and amusing myself, I'm playing it right. You all take this shit way, way too seriously. Have fun, don't rage if a new guy is auto attacking, and try to help =P lol
