Vladimir Matchups Overview
Vladimir General information
Vladimir tips and tricks
Avoid using your W at all costs as it costs you tons of health. Use it at the last possible second if you have to commit to using it.
You’re weak in the early game. There’s no need to commit to trades or going for kills from the get-go. You need time to come online.
Flank in team fights to make it harder for the enemy to disengage or blow you up before you can get on top of them.
