Im serious when i say this and i really mean it: The first 3 Minutes are mandatory, and especially the stoic take on league of legends, for being able to enjoy the game and to not flame others so easily. And this should be the intro to lol and not the piss tutorial they send you in where you still know nothing. Words like these could really better the lol community if you had more reach on youtube. Thank you Calvin for this guide and your wise words.
I used to be huge tilter got like 10 permas and still was struggling with toxic behaviour but it had improved - my friend tells me; better team always wins. That struck something inside me. Now I think more of teammates as NPCs and its more like a solo player game - I just do the strongest performance I can, everything else is out of your control.
yeah just had 3 games where they flame eachother in champ select and me somehow for splitting with vlad lmao won all 3 tho backdooring on 500 ap vlad is nice
"i quit because i think i will be biggest streamer one day" underrated remark. Good luck man, binging your content rn and really enjoying it. Keep narrating your gameplay in the way that you do, seems really intelligent the way you think about the game
Oh my GOD. I was not prepared for this kind of video! Been watching you since late S9. I've wanted to get a chance to actually ask you a lot of in-depth questions for high-level play on Vlad and you went to make this vid. Thank you Swiss Banklord.
I just started getting back into league and play vlad at the moment. The timing on this is perfect and I really love some educational content/ full commentaries in between. Thanks a lot for all the work you put into this to share with us here!
TLDR: RUNES: -Electrocute vs Melees -Phase Rush nerfs suck, possibly good vs Trynd, Nas, Ekko. "eh" vs Syndra, Ori, Kayle, Cass -Predator when not vs melees, "eh" vs yas, kat, yone, sylas -Ability Haste + Adaptive + Scaling HP -Nimbus cloak NERFED feelsbad -Relentless hunter better to have flat MS boost than ingenious hunter (item haste). -Cheese Strat when taking TP vs a laner with ignite: Aggro trade, burn potions from you and them, get 300g, back, TP back with boots. Enemy laner in awkward spot duo to no TP. Care for ganks. -Spellbook good vs TF/Galio/Asol. Flash/ghost and able to swap to TP by lvl 6 to counter the laners roams. -Conq good vs extended trade lanes, Galio, sylas, yasuo. or unavoidable CC, rakan, kennen, fid. Idea is you stack conq while cc'ed and during longer trades. BUILD: -Always start dark seal, get pred boots -> protobelt -> mejais (play off scaling with it vs rushing other items) -> situational: cosmic, zhonyas/banshee, deathcap, zoid staff. -Can sell boots late game if not using predator (cosmic drive supplementing the MS of boots while being able to replace the boots with another AP item)
I switched back and forth between Sion and Vladimir to find some fun in League. I cant stand playing passively, so this helped me a lot. Thanks very much for the guide.
I feel that Simón and vlad have a somewhat similar kiting style - you want to stay in close range but not enough to get hit, and in early-mid game your burst isn’t high enough to oneshot someone so you kinda kite it out with phase rush and stuff. Also they are the hardest scaling champs in the game without many good matchups
now this is a guide, not like other "challenger" guides where they just explain the abilites to you and show you basic combos. They dont even talk about playstyle, matchups, runes (just show 1 setup) or macro game, wich is really the important thing
first of all before i start the video i am fan of u for a long time now for like 2:3 years now and i am now the 1500# on eune with vlad 9000# world just because of u and i am plat 4 now and facing diamond players and i am improving more and more because of your gameplay and mindset things cause i am really bad at it thank you keep going well played best vlad main
Thanks for the guide, i was always greedy with vlad which led to sometimes rlly bad games with him, i m trying to play safer now and so far its alright
ive been running attack speed runes recently; trading with autos feels closer to asol vs melees and farming is 10x more consistent if you havent played 5k games on the champ xP
@Elite500 could you make an updated guide? Since electrocute got nerved I mostly run phase rush. I also have trouble deciding on when to go hextech protobelt instead of night harvester. Been binge watching your videos lately and really started to love playing on vlad. I still struggle against syndras that buy healing reduc too 😂 feels impossible to win. Also yone sometimes causes some trouble early with his ridiculous shield and pushing power. Keep up the good work !
Lmao, I feel the E flash R combo, it's so fun to do but I tried thinking about how I do it and I'm really not sure. It's like the story asking the centipede how he walks on so many legs.
Mate, thank you so much for this video! I didn't watch all, and I wonder. Do you smartcast E or not? I would be very thankful about an asnwer. Grüess us de schwiiz
what does he say at 38:30 huge tip buy porta belts? then mejais.. what was the first item i cant make it out . ive slowed down the speed to hear it slow still can't make it out
Haven't watched the whole vid but what about minor rune stats. I have some knowledge from your videos but what is your opinion now? EDIT: NVM he talks about it at 12:03
Bro u got me back on vlad i belive like i need you to keep playing him bcs i swap so much but vlad is my soul i started him last year and i spammed the shit out of this champ and i will reach u now trust me ☺️
adaptive force gives either ap or ad, which one you get depends on if you have more ap or ad. if you have more ap than bonus ad, you will get ap and vice versa.
Ghost ign works on pretty much anyone decently, although rule of thumb ign on electrocute tp on pred, cos electrocute is all about winning early and pred tp let's you control the map if you have vision
@@MetaDiscussions in mid to late game if you ever have to wait for 3 vlad autoattacks before starting to do damage you're probably going to be dead, you're basically playing without a keystone for like 90% of the game
Finally Lord Calvin has blessed us with the guide we have been awaiting for so long!!! Thank so much for this!!

Honestly stoicism should be the intro to life

i love how the s9 and s10 guides are like 6-7 minutes long and then our gigalord and savior calvin drops this vlad bomba, holy
Yay, a 1 hour lesson. I love it.
My man that is 37 minutes you left out of the equation. For shame!

TLDR:
RUNES:

-Phase Rush nerfs suck, possibly good vs Trynd, Nas, Ekko. "eh" vs Syndra, Ori, Kayle, Cass
-Predator when not vs melees, "eh" vs yas, kat, yone, sylas
-Ability Haste + Adaptive + Scaling HP
-Nimbus cloak NERFED feelsbad
-Relentless hunter better to have flat MS boost than ingenious hunter (item haste).
-Cheese Strat when taking TP vs a laner with ignite: Aggro trade, burn potions from you and them, get 300g, back, TP back with boots. Enemy laner in awkward spot duo to no TP. Care for ganks.

-Can sell boots late game if not using predator (cosmic drive supplementing the MS of boots while being able to replace the boots with another AP item)
The Predator explaination with the jungle / scuttle scenario was really smart. Good work
followed this guide i am now 1300lp challenger ty elite500
This was actually extremely detailed and informative thank you Calvin for the time and efforts 👍
we need a update
this dude really started with stoicism! bro love your content! get them mentally prepared for vlad XD
This is the first actual guide that actually SAYS the shit im looking for!Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I've been basically 1 tricking Vlad for the past months because of you and this helps a ton.
I switched back and forth between Sion and Vladimir to find some fun in League. I cant stand playing passively, so this helped me a lot. Thanks very much for the guide.
Same, I also switch between Sion and Vlad.
lol same! xD the champion part
I feel that Simón and vlad have a somewhat similar kiting style - you want to stay in close range but not enough to get hit, and in early-mid game your burst isn’t high enough to oneshot someone so you kinda kite it out with phase rush and stuff. Also they are the hardest scaling champs in the game without many good matchups
Same wtf 😂
Started playing league last week for the first time in over a year so I've been watching your videos for tips. This is truly a godsend.
Been waiting on this one, big ups on the guide, it's very well done.
Holy shit I can feel the blessings landing on top of me, thank you Lord Calvin. The road to unstuck myself from gold starts now, no copium only hopium
i love stoicism and like playing league of legends.. now i search for a vlad guide and here we go: elite 500 talking about stoicism in league
FINALLY AFTER I ASKED ON THE LAST 200 HUNDRED VIDEOS. LOVE YOU MAN, AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Can you imagine how much power is an hour of pure information 😮
thank u so much bro I was zed otp and now vlad otp and bro I learned so much more about vlad thx for the guide man
Jeez this is as long as one of my college classes but somehow I'm more willing to listen here. Also Calvin legit looking like a university professor.
OH MY GOD I WAITED SOO MUCH TIME FOR THE PREDATOR GUIDE AAAAAAAA
Appreciated this Man, I play Vlad top and mid right now and these info really helps me specially these keystones for every matchup
now this is a guide, not like other "challenger" guides where they just explain the abilites to you and show you basic combos. They dont even talk about playstyle, matchups, runes (just show 1 setup) or macro game, wich is really the important thing
FINALLY And I didnt notice until now 3 weeks later, I remember watching the old S10 guide like 3 months ago finally its here
boys he made us an hour long presentation on one champ. how tf did he dedicate this much time on this
the blood lord has spoken, thank you sir calvin
first of all before i start the video i am fan of u for a long time now for like 2:3 years now and i am now the 1500# on eune with vlad 9000# world just because of u and i am plat 4 now and facing diamond players and i am improving more and more because of your gameplay and mindset things cause i am really bad at it thank you keep going well played best vlad main
he literally included stoicism
thats god tier mindset i might say
Just watched the whole thing. Awesome job man!!!
holy shit he couldn't be more right about the stoic approach my man is a grinder
Love your guide, but why u dont talk about aery+scorch rune+? You are playing it mostly in those days
Electro is better than aery unless you are top
its shit...
Thanks for the guide, i was always greedy with vlad which led to sometimes rlly bad games with him, i m trying to play safer now and so far its alright
man i had prepared my weekend to watch the stream and I overslept and woke up like an hour after it ended I hate my life
I see a long as guide so already a like.
"Honey! New Vlad just dropped!"
Best guide existing
Watching this before bed to absorb the knowledge
Finallyyyyy!!
I just mentioned this a few vids ago
ive been running attack speed runes recently; trading with autos feels closer to asol vs melees and farming is 10x more consistent if you havent played 5k games on the champ xP
From Reddit, to here.
Thanks for the guide mate.
1 minute in “stoicism is OP” this may be the greatest guide ever created lmao
literally i forgot everything after the video ended ;--;
man, been winning so much more since I watched this
Yo can we appreciate those amazing wallpapers
Nice! I hope you get your 15k+ viewers a day!!!
*Can't believe he didn't mentioned the skin tier list*
Thank you so much for the guide ELITE!! I wont be smashing my keyboard anymore 🤙🏽👍
Ready to play vlad, thanks for the guide!!
This guide actually have me Ehe idea of running electrocute on my zilean support for my kid who games and lane is going well.
@Elite500 could you make an updated guide? Since electrocute got nerved I mostly run phase rush. I also have trouble deciding on when to go hextech protobelt instead of night harvester.

Also yone sometimes causes some trouble early with his ridiculous shield and pushing power. Keep up the good work !
The hashinshin predator roast LMAO cmon why you gotta do him like that...
Lmao, I feel the E flash R combo, it's so fun to do but I tried thinking about how I do it and I'm really not sure. It's like the story asking the centipede how he walks on so many legs.
Had a perfect first game after watching this. My team was awesome. Having a Lulu supporting your ass as vlad, is the best feeling ever
The art is GOD tier.
Mate, thank you so much for this video!
I didn't watch all, and I wonder. Do you smartcast E or not? I would be very thankful about an asnwer.
Grüess us de schwiiz
Probably late to ssk but same question mate, didn't get answer ?
I love the suit and tie. A true banklord.
me gusta mucho tu contenido siento que cada dia soy mejor con vlad gracias a ti thanks you
Big love to the swiss bank lord for making this
The perfect guide for my birthday!
Hope you had a good birthday. 🍰
When the best advice comes right at the start !
Finally !!! Thank you Sensei ❤❤❤
what does he say at 38:30 huge tip buy porta belts? then mejais.. what was the first item i cant make it out . ive slowed down the speed to hear it slow still can't make it out
Protobelt
The holy grail hath been bestowed upon us
Very Cool
Haven't watched the whole vid but what about minor rune stats. I have some knowledge from your videos but what is your opinion now? EDIT: NVM he talks about it at 12:03
he has the mentality
Finally, thank you
I love the drawings
54:17 could u use subtext when reading chat I couldn't understand what they were asking you, the item.
Ok rabadon nvm
Thank you for the guide 😍 but i have 1 question: in which matchups can we you aery?
great video Calvin
Bro u got me back on vlad i belive like i need you to keep playing him bcs i swap so much but vlad is my soul i started him last year and i spammed the shit out of this champ and i will reach u now trust me ☺️
Hows that vlad game now
This guide is still very good but could you do a new guide on items and runes. Since quite a lot has changed, itemization and runes wise.
Spell binder is still a must buy :)
12:15 the 9 adaptive damage grant 9ap and 5ad seperate to each champin that build ap or ad
adaptive force gives either ap or ad, which one you get depends on if you have more ap or ad. if you have more ap than bonus ad, you will get ap and vice versa.
Thanks for the guide mr bloodlord
i'm sad Elite. Don't take away from me the " WELL HELLO THERE WONDERFUL PEOPLE "
Love the suit lol
HALP how has this changed since, can you pls do a write up mr elite 500
Bless the Lord allmighty. Hail Calvin
Hi again, for the runes are the same for TOP lane? For ex. electrocute vs tanks / meles, etc?
what spell summs do I use if im using electrocute and is it the same for when using predator? am i able to use ghost / ign every game?
Ghost ign works on pretty much anyone decently, although rule of thumb ign on electrocute tp on pred, cos electrocute is all about winning early and pred tp let's you control the map if you have vision
I prefer ignite/flash, you can get lvl 3 kills by charge e + flash + empowered q + ignite + electrocute proc
@Elite500, lord of the consume. What is your current stance on runes with the changes so far
God bless you mister Elite
Maaaaaaan Love it!!!
Love the artworks, where are they from?:)
I started league a week ago and decided to main vlad but I cant even get a single kill with him :( so frustrating
anyone know if cull would be helpful in early game farming, since the champ is mainly about farming
Banger
What skins is he mentiong in minute 40:28 ? Thank you.
Bloodlord and Marquis
Looking like a real coach
Where can I get your thumbnails? Its just funny😂
25:10 if percent dmg is so good why don’t you go press the attack. Up to +12% damage received for 6 seconds with theoretically high up time.
Mid lane is a bit different but, for top lane he doesn’t really need to take duals. Am I wrong?
@@MetaDiscussions in mid to late game if you ever have to wait for 3 vlad autoattacks before starting to do damage you're probably going to be dead, you're basically playing without a keystone for like 90% of the game
ty for this lesson
38:57 huge tip thats true
