This was actually one of the best guides I’ve ever seen. Obviously Elite’s mechanics are top tier, however the focus of this guide was on macro and fundamentals, which anyone can learn and use properly just by being present. Stellar work, Calvin.

Bwipo tried W max vs Kennen in inhouses a couple days ago and he was just flaming it the whole time while chat was trying to tell him you dont go w max vs kennen.
Do you think it could be a good idea to not buy potions with w max (since u don't need more sustain) to get 100g for quicker power spikes (or 150 if u start dark seal)
If you are slightly better than the Yorick (and the chance of this being the case is probably higher than you think because a lot of people simply pick a counter without knowing how to actually play the champion), then you can go summon aery + scorch + nimbus cloak + ignite and either flash or ghost and fight him extremely hard early on while zoning him from xp and gold, and if you manage to play it well, you will build a strong enough lead to win at any part of the game because if he builds damage, you oneshot him, and if he builds tank, he will not be a thread in sidelane, and then you win by outsustaining and doing better in teamfights anyways. Perhaps give it a try ^^ I can only speak for myself, of course, but so far it has been working great from diamond to master 250 lp on EUW whenever I have been counterpicked by Yorick as Vlad.
its amazing how the whole strat isnt even about vlad its about wave management xd if people still think is hard to play vlad after this explanation the whole community is doomed
Lol. Vlad is not hard to play but it's extreamly hard to master champ on very high level ! If you give people to play Vlad who almost never play it , they will suck...Even if you play 50 games with Vlad , you will still suck...Vlad needs time to master...
Poke where you can. If you’re w max you should have the CDR to pool his stun every time. Panth in my experience generally wants to poke with Q and all in when you’re low hp lvl 1-3. Play around his cooldowns and survive till 6 and it’s impossible to lose imo
@@hayatiste5625 realistically you can also Q max too but w prob feels better. W is getting nerfed soon I hear but the main to survive till 6 is making panth choose between hitting you vs hitting the wave. Just like Elite explained in vid so many matchups and loses happen because of wave state not mechanics. The best thing I ever did when learning vlad was learning how to control minion waves. Game changer I promise
and wheres that Q guide except the answer when to go Q max. would aprecite what is current good build vs some general groups, like tanky team squishy team, heavy AP team, balanced etc. The fighting tips were nice, thx. Especialy that experience they allways clamp up in teamfights if you wait, so dont start with R if it aint on multiple targets. I just jump in and try
Yall, I need advice. I've only been playing league for 2 seasons, primarily on wildrift (don't laugh, it's a great version of the game, i have much more fun than on PC and prefer the pacing) HOWEVER. I play a fairly deep selecti9n of champs as a top OTP (Urgot, Aatrox, Graves, Nasus, Mundo, Malph, Warwick, Renekton and Vlad) yet I cant seem to play anyone nearly as well as aatrox. I've got like 50 games on aatrox with a win rate over 68%, currently on a 16 or so win streak with the champ. Yet I want SO BADLY to be a competent vlad player. I tried playing him for 100 consecutive games, tanked yhe shit outta my rank and am currently sitting on 46% win rate on the champ. I have watched every vlad guide I can find, tried every viable build out there and even made a few of my own (in love with ability haste spam), but whenever I switch back to aatrox even after 30+ matches since my last astrox game, I get easy A and S ratings. I want so desperately to be a vlad main yet I can't play any other champ nearly as well as this boring ass aatrox. Why is this, what changes can I make?
vlad top isn't in a good spot right now, items are so trash (cosmic, riftmaker, etc) only good if you can afk farm or stomp a bad opponent. vlad is basically a OTP champion right now since a few seasons ago (back in s9-s10 he was so op than anyone with some games can learn how to carry with him easily) anyways, vlad is a hard champion so don't be disappointed of your performance already, is also super flexible and there so many tips than a main vlad has to know (and you only can put these on practice playing with him) pd: my english is trash
@@huntervn7924 more for the waveclear tbh the healiing is just a disgusting bonus but yeah vlad overall is getting murdered next update with the shitty item changes
ok im pretty sure what he means is that you take hp runes, which from vlad passive get turned into ap, which is then multiplied by deathcap, and then that ap is turned into hp from vlad passive, which then goes into riftmaker to give you more ap which then goes through rabadons again. so I think vlad is the only champ because of his passive+riftmaker to get two multiplications of ap from rabadons.
He is talking about riftmaker and deathcap passivs which are working like a 2nd Vlad passiv together and the stats from these Passiv are getting increased by vlad passiv again
nah, nothing real now, only data mining on pbe showed that .4 nerf, but pbe is a test server, no one says it's gonna make it live since it's not even yet on pbe, they were just trying it
I learned the hard way never to play this style vs Riven
yep, if riven cheese you lvl 1 it's so hard, if she let you alone for the first 2 lv then it's free lane
Yea i think its fine into riven just walk up on after her cooldowns and space properly and just win
holy shot bro. Me too, ended the game 1/10. At least i won
Me too hahaha
@@dlb6903 Fr, even if you stand behind your caster minions for safe last hitting she just use her dashes and runs you down with your mediocre base ms

thank you elite500 for dropping this guide right before next patch when W max gets gutted 🙏🙏
Go cry lmao
@@flowbie-1336 it was a joke bruh 💀
Thank god this dropped right after I picked up w max vlad top so I can stop hard inting my low elo games
thank you for this guide (i will never play vlad i just like watching ur vids elite)
amazing banners great job
Yo the editor used their limit break for this or what. Editing is 👌👌👌👌👌
we have a couple of weeks to play this before riot deletes it in the next patch
good riddance honestly
absolute chad
gets vlad nerfed and never posts another video again
This is why Pros keep their strategies a secret from Rito and don't tell anyone else.
Because of this Playstyle and mindset that I've adapt I no longer tilt and actually started to carry games 1v9

4:11 im so sorry to hear that I hope they get better 🙏
Thanks for this build it helped me get 10 wins consecutive.

I LOVE ELITE500 VLAD

I learned the hard way it doesnt go well into Yorick. He just locks you in the cage and there is no escape. I'm probably just bad though
Yorick hard counter vladimir whatever you max q or w
Yorick is just my perma ban anyway, hate that champ.
Moment yorick reaches 1 item it goes from chillmax to torture

W max gone next patch tho xd
what’re they doing to it
@@nolo5220reducing healing from minions to 60% against minions. Against champions is unchanged
@@KingBLUCK should have been 40%
so, in a nutsheel, Max W if you can survive extended trades and max Q if you need to do hit and run.
Feels really bad making this video when W max build is getting removed next patch LMFAO
Me when I use Pot of Greed, and draw Q max Vlad and W max Vlad
4:18 i legit LOL irl by how succinctly you put how screwed the enemy laner is
Amazing video!
I like to play aery because it makes me feel radioactive.
we need vlad jg guide so badly :(

Elite what we can do in 14.9 patch?
I love you elite BOBBY
Will W max still be worth doing after the nerf next patch?
THANK YOU
Does it still work in the same scenarios or has it been nerfed too much?
hear me out, alternative leveling the abilities in these matchups?
crazy how ur windows aren't activated :D but same here
Man why the 1.5x speed up it is hard to understand tbh
Do we still go W max after W nerf to heal from minions?
do you ever start dark seal or always dorans?
w max is already getting nerfed next patch
W max if you are going to do chemio tomorrow
Q max if you are a normal person
have u thought about making a matchup spreadsheet?
He made one
Unc still using the old map lol.
W nerf next patch, Can W max still work?
I hope he plays Wild Rift.
i always be struggling against jayce he should be somewhat easy but I always struggle anyone got any tips?
W healing is nerfed against minions next patch so...
vlad better mid or top ?
why would you play this set up with conq
What about next patch?
W.
POT POT POT ! ! !
Can anyone please tell me why he is pot of greed?

I mean 14.19 vlad already got huge nerf with his W tho? So why release this guide at this time tho.
They nerfed only the healing from minions, but in general this is still viable. It was broken, now it is kinda strong still.

Is this post W healing nerf or not ?
It's Pre-Nerf. This is the very strategy that got W Max nerfed in the first place.
Well W max is completely useless now lol. We knew this from the patch preview awhile ago.

Why even bother with this video? The build is being nerfed, and then it will be back to Q max. W max will become irrelevant.
