5 Best Vladimir Counters
Vlad is one of the many champions who can frequently appear in both mid and top lane. As you can imagine, the matchups he might face in either lane are wildly different to the other. As an example, in the middle lane Vladimir has the most difficult matchups against Mordekaiser and Kassadin.
The former has his own built-in healing and dueling potential while the latter is designed to absorb pressure during the lane phase and transition into late game power. Up in the top lane things are very different as Vlad is best countered by Dr. Mundo and Riven.
Countering a champion isn’t always as simple as picking the right champion to square off with them. Often times, in-game decision-making like laning patterns, jungle pressure and item builds can have a drastic effect on the games outcome.
In the case of Vlad, his kit revolves around healing for the large amounts of damage he puts out, that any item allowing the application of Grievous Wounds will go a long way to shutting him down. If you’re a mage, grab a quick Morellonomicon. Marksmen and AD Bruisers should invest in an Executioner's Calling as soon as possible, upgrading that to a Mortal Reminder if the need feels high enough.
