Huh. 3-0 for Liquid. I'm not surprised at that.

Methinks the TiP game shot their confidence to hell.

Uh, what, Quadz?

Also, I wanna say 3-1 UoL because underdogs, but I really don't know how this'll go. I wanna say 3-2 in the end, too, but I doubt that, honestly.

I don't think it will be a 3-0 either way, though.

(Also, I kinda miss Azir. I liked the birdheadman.)

You all should follow montecristo on YouTube. Him breaking down the games on his channel is very insightful

All these first-pick Vlads.

hitogoroshi · Post Post #3195 (ISO) » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:15 am

Speaking as a dude who first picks vlad I'm happy about the vlad popularity except that rushing wota on vlad is garbage and everyone is gonna learn bad habits now

KaleiÐoscøpe · Post Post #3196 (ISO) » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:12 am

lol it isn't bad. All stats on wota are really good on Vlad.

hitogoroshi · Post Post #3197 (ISO) » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:46 am

vlad already has an easy time staying at full hp with whatever items he gets by the time he has wota money. spell vamp is pretty stupid when you dying is almost certainly from all-in burst, probably with ignite/morello/etc.

I mean if you want to shove lane and roam sure get the hextech so you can use tides on CD. but guise or rod are both gonna do a lot more for you than the wota upgrade, and that's what you give up to do hextech -> wota. guise is insane on vladimir because both stats feed back with the passive and magipen is absolutely the stat you need to start bullying lane. And zhonya's/cap are both really big milestones for vlad, which make rod good, especially since he gets 112 hp for it so you can't really even punish him for rushing it. it's even sillier when you shouldn't even be getting hextech in your lane. if you're zoning out an enemy top, opening guise+sorc is gonna be stupidly more effective than wota. what the heck is the wota for in a freeze situation? you're not using tides much because you don't want to shove the lane, so...it takes one transfusion instead of two to heal up? okay whatever. I'm still gonna be full health when every trade starts when I've got max level transfusion. what I need is HP to survive the all-in and AP/magipen to kill them first; spell vamp and cdr aren't that useful for that situation.

the thing about magipen is that vlad is really good 2v1 duelist so if you rush your damage enough you can actually freeze without giving two shits about their jungle, because if REWE can kill the weaker enemy in a 2v1, you actually kill them completely for free while you drop REQWEQ on the healthier one (with ignite to taste). And if you slowroll tides to 4 stacks and have a guise, REWE does a pretty solid amount of damage!

Iecerint · Post Post #3198 (ISO) » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:59 am

I like to get an early codex, but I think I'd only finish wota if I decide on banner for the last 10% or I have an awkward gold amount.

KaleiÐoscøpe · Post Post #3199 (ISO) » Tue Apr 07, 2015 7:23 am

I heavily disagree. Vlad is a lategame champ and if you build items on him to get a midgame spike it forces you out of lane much faster, forces you to recall, and makes you lose cs. If you're against a melee/non poke champ, I could see it work, but not in other situations. If you aim for a lategame build, something that Vlad excels at since he can sustain through those long drawn out fights forever, there's no need to rush items like guise. Wota into Zhonya should make you relevant in teamfights enough.
