Tips and Tricks

Vladimir's ultimate, Hemoplague, is most effective when cast during teamfights on as many enemy champions as possible.

When you anticipate an engagement with your enemy lane partner, keep one stack of Bloodthirst so that you get the empowered Transfusion when you cast it.

Additional Vladimir Build Insights

League of Legends Vladimir players will find him to be a complex champion to build out properly. You will notice that his build varies when he is up against either diversified or specialized team comps, meaning you shouldn't follow the same Vladimir build every single game of League of Legends

The most important items to use in your champ's build are: Night Harvester, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shadowflame. Those who included these items in their builds had a much higher win rate than those who tried for other Vladimir builds. Likewise, if you are trying to beat a well-mixed enemy team comp, you should really consider grabbing Vladimir the Precision, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, he won the greatest fraction of his matches when built with these runes.

We calculated our Vladimir build guidance by examining 69,235 recently ranked LoL rounds with him in them. We only propose the highest winrate Vladimir builds that have been built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to reccomend them. With so many matches in our dataset, we are very confident in our provided builds.
