" I'm gonna let you all in on a secret that I don't share often.



I laugh at the NMST thing and gladly come tank forum rage. But truth be told, I don't move to nerf hardly anything. The Live team makes proposals and I help guide them and approve changes (so yes, they're still my responsibility!), but I very rarely go "nerf this thing."



This is one time I'll be changing that approach.



Vlad, I've tried to avoid this - I really wanted to do minor nerfs, and just try to salvage you somehow. I truely have. But you keep being powerful in all levels of the game, and having very little counter-gameplay or interesting interactions, along with being negative attrition to the umpteenth power. You just crutch on "but my early game sucks! I'm fine!" but I'm on to you. I know those innocent eyes hide a true maniac.



Vlad will be nerfed, and this time, as dictated by me. I've handed the team their orders. They will show no mercy, and do what needs to be done. Though, I actually think he'll -still- be good. "

Hint: we're only making one change. It's not going to be devastating, but it will be noticeable.

Well, it looks like a sad day forhas decided to an aggressive stance on gettingto an appropriate power level. Even after nerfing Hextech Revolver to address a very popular and powerful build for Vlad, he is still not in a desirable place. His mixture of massive health return, sustained damage, "free stats" from his passive have kept him quite the complicated champion to balance., via the official forums also said in a nother post that "". What do you think this change will be? I would wager it is either in relation to this passive or maybe a stab at the Tides of Blood ability.
