Nerver really played it as it was clearly OP and would be nerfed and I think it's already being nerfed next patch so not really a positive opinion on it, W max was a bait for many people to perhaps climb a bit in rank but now that it's being nerfed those people will suffer and lose lp game so all it did is basically waste people's time and additionally now the standard Q max players will also suffer a bit due to all the attention and thus the nerf, so not too happy about it haha :)
Thanks a lot for the guide! I would LOVE to watch something like that when I started learning Vlad. If I may, I would add one very simple “combo” to the list: q-flash. Q is going out instantaneously and people usually don’t react to that, even on Elite500 stream in Korean GM. Don’t know if it’s on me, but I would never assume it works like that. And I like to use that with ult also: q-flash-r-e-w is my go-to in teamfights and is super smooth. Also wanted to ask you (don’t play Vlad often anymore): I know for sure before you could flash buffer Vlad’s ult, but I was not able to do that recently. Have they changed something or I simply got rusty? :)
Hi thanks for your comment! Of course, the Q flash combo is super fun and works quite well, but it's typically not enough dmg (of course sometimes it is) so then you mainly use the F R Q combo or Q F R combo for example if you don't have E. But yes the Q flash combo is really good but just quite niche. As for buffering vlad's ult, yes you can still do it :). Just press R F super fast and you'll do it. I appreciate your comment mate, thanks for the nice reaction!
@@Kyan100 thank you for your answer! Yeah, you’re absolutely right Q F is quite situational, but… you couldn’t imagine how much times I missed kills or was killed trying F Q W, as you explained in the guide. Cancelled Q, was not quick enough 😂 in my defense I was in bronze those times, and you probably shouldn’t pay Vlad if you’re in bronze. With Q F W it’s much easier to do properly. The same is for Q F E W over F Q E W. Also it has a major implication in teamfights: you’re right that proper combo is F R E W + red Q afterwards on a priority target. First Q (often on frontline) doesn’t worth the risk, unless you don’t have your red Q. In this case starting with buffering normal Q is often the difference between one-shooting backline vs leaving them low and being killed for free. So you’re always ready to combo, unless you’re on 0 stacks.
For the empowered-Q movement speed utilization, i think it was because you step back when your q were empowering so the syndra got psychologically tricked to harresed you without paying attention to your passive so she made a mistakes. So i think to utilize this, we should try to trick the enemy into harrasing by stepping back pretending to be scared so that they think they are gaining prior and then trade with empowered-Q.
@@phongtranquoc7557 Yes for sure, all these little tricks work best when combined. That's what makes Vladimir viable even in long range matchups, if you consistently apply en combine these tricks you'll still be able to pressure your opponent :). Thank you for your comment!
DO NOT speak of that dark technology publicly. but i will tell you. its W max grasp vlad. it lets you take scaling runes and also have a good laning phase for top lane. because of how W works the more minions you are in the more healing you can get. so you can auto them and make them stack waves and then get huge healing standing in pool under a wave. I also find that because the cooldown is so low you can just use it casually when trading which makes some matchups very favorable.
@@citizen6458You explained it well, however, personally I don't like it as it will be nerfed in the near future and it basically teaches you to trade with W which will be bad after the nerfs, additionally you lack damage to really snowball. It's definitely viable to climb but in my opinion definitely not the most optimal way.
@@Kyan100 i definitely feel similar, i've felt the lack of dmg from not lvling E until lvl 13ish. But its to much reliable scaling and lane power to pass up. likely will get nerfed because its super frustrating to play against.
@@citizen6458 I understand that, but I don't feel like you lack lanepower with the normal setup unless you play in very hard top matchups, think of tryndamere for example, then a W max is probably optimal.
Played my first ever LeBlanc game and fell in love with her instantly. So glad to find a comprehensive guide that I will try and fail to follow for 10 to 20 games before I get the hang of it! She will join Neeko and Morgana on my E-Girl Mage Champions shelf. I like to Q - W - Auto - W in lane for electrocute trades, she's basically untouchable Also to answer the intro question: My current skin is Risen Legend from the Faker pass, but I would like someday to have Prestige Coven since Coven is my favorite skin line!
Bro thank you for this guide. I just bought Leblanc last night because I heard she has a slightly better winrate as support (and I’m a filthy support main). So I played my first game and won it 4v5 going 3-2-7. She feels really good to play and I really enjoyed her, but I knew I was barely scratching the surface of what she’s capable of. This guide was exactly what I needed and more. 🤝
i needed 2 days to finish the video, i have taken notes, made collages with screenshots, made sets of runes in the game, i got called a legend at the end of the video but man why do u hate cafe cutie vladimir i literally started playing him bc of that skin lmaoooo, anyways great video i loved it
Thanks for the video. I found myself always getting a kill early but then stagnating and becoming useless, but I was thinking that I was doing well because I had high cs and many towers. But when I saw your video you were roaming so much and they were literally handing you kills. I'm gonna try this
You sound like a teacher explaining to class after seeing a mistake in a student’s test lol. Loved you video, I’m a Zed main that loves Vladimir, you explained very clearly.
What supports are good with her? Can you explain her passive? It sounds like it does a lot but I don't really see it in game. Does her W Dodge everything?
