Vladimir
Champions that beat Vladimir
- Camilletop
Once The Hextech Ultimatum (R) lands, Sanguine Pool (W) cannot escape the arena. Precision Protocol (Q2) true damage chunks past Crimson Pact (P) HP and the Transfusion (Q) heal sustain, and Hookshot (E) closes before Hemoplague (R) lands.
- Cassiopeiamid
Cassiopeia's Twin Fang (E) procs every ~1s on Vlad and her Morellonomicon cuts Crimson Rush Q healing by 40%. Vex's Personal Space (W) and Doom 'n Gloom passive tag Vlad the instant he exits Sanguine Pool, removing his only escape.
- Cho'Gathtop
Vladimir has no instant lockdown, so nothing interrupts the Rupture (Q) windup. Feral Scream (W) silence shuts down Transfusion (Q) and Tides of Blood (E) during an all-in, and Sanguine Pool (W) is too short to outlast the Vorpal Spikes (E) max-HP burn.
- Galiomid
Galio counters Vladimir mid — his Shield of Durand W magic damage reduction blunts Vlad's burst and Justice Punch E knock-up lands point-blank to cut the drain Q trade short.
- Gnartop
Gnar Boomerang Throw (Q) chips Vladimir from 1100 range, outside Transfusion (Q) 600 range, and Hop (E) skips out of Tides of Blood (E) AOE zone. Rage Gene passive Mega transform plus GNAR! (R) wall-stun denies the level 1-6 scaling window Vlad needs.
- Kassadinmid
Vladimir has no escape outside Sanguine Pool (W) — Riftwalk (R) post-11 blinks behind every Pool emergence frame for a clean burst window. Null Sphere (Q) gives a magic shield against Transfusion (Q) poke, and Force Pulse (E) slow holds him after Hemoplague (R).
- Malzaharmid
Malzahar is one of Vladimir's worst mid matchups — Call of the Void Q silence interrupts Vlad's E charge and Nether Grasp R suppression locks him without Sanguine Pool escape.
- Nasustop
Nasus Wither (W) strips Vladimir's Move Speed, so he cannot kite between Sanguine Pool (W) windows, and Siphoning Strike (Q) keeps stacking past the point where a single Vladimir combo can trade with one of his autos.
- Neekomid
Tangle-Barbs (E) roots Vladimir at 1000 range so Pop Blossom (R) AOE stun lands free; Shapesplitter (W) clone bait soaks the telegraphed Hemoplague (R) zone cast. Tides of Blood (E) stacking requires standing still and Sanguine Pool (W) recovery cannot escape Blooming Burst (Q).
- Ornntop
Pre-level 6 Vladimir cannot duel Doran's Shield Ornn with Grasp proccing every 4 seconds. Volcanic Rupture pillar plus Searing Charge knock-up applies a Brittle knock-up before Sanguine Pool comes online, and Living Forge passive bonus resists shrug off Transfusion poke.
- Talonmid
Talon Rake (W) chips Vlad past his Transfusion (Q) 600 range while he is still on Doran's stacks, and Noxian Diplomacy (Q) gap-close lands before Sanguine Pool (W) recovers.
- Teemotop
Teemo Blinding Dart (Q) blinds Vladimir's autos, so he cannot follow Transfusion (Q) with attack damage, and Toxic Shot (E) poisons him on every hit to cancel the drain. Move Quick (W) keeps Teemo outside the 600 Q range and Noxious Trap (R) covers his retreat, and the poke wins.
- Vaynebot
Vayne Silver Bolts (W) deals true damage every third auto ignoring Vladimir HP stack from Crimson Pact, while Tumble (Q) resets spacing out of Transfusion (Q) range. Condemn (E) ends every Sanguine Pool (W) resurface attempt with terrain stun and Final Hour (R) crit kills.
- Zaahentop
Vladimir must step into melee for Transfusion Q full damage and Tides of Blood E stacks. Dreaded Return W pulls him mid-cast into Q1 plus Q2 knock-up. Sanguine Pool W costs current Health and sits on a 28-second cooldown at rank 1, maxed last, so once burned he has no escape.
- Zedmid
Zed Death Mark (R) re-tags Vladimir after Sanguine Pool (W) ends, denying the untargetable escape window entirely. Living Shadow (W) plus Shadow Slash (E) chains before W comes back up and Razor Shuriken (Q) chips him through Crimson Pact HP scaling while he has no early
Champions Vladimir beats
- Setttop
Vladimir Transfusion (Q) hits from 600 range outside Sett Haymaker (W) windup zone, so the trade always favors range. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetable dodges The Show Stopper (R) slam target lock and Hemoplague (R) drain out-sustains Pit Grit passive auto-stack damage.
- Setttop
Vladimir Transfusion (Q) hits from 600 range, outside Sett Facebreaker (E) pull reach and Haymaker (W) windup, so the trade favors range. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetability dodges The Show Stopper (R) slam, and the Pit Grit passive cannot stack while he has no target to hit.
- Aniviamid
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) turns untargetable mid-cast and dodges Anivia Glacial Storm (R) tick zone, so he resurfaces inside her front cone where Crimson Pact passive HP-scaled Transfusion (Q) drains her. The Rebirth passive egg dies under Hemoplague (R) amp burst follow-up.
- Dariustop
Vladimir Transfusion (Q) hits from 600 range outside Darius Apprehend (E) pull reach, so the trade favors range. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetable dodges Noxian Guillotine (R) mark execute and the Hemorrhage passive five-stack burst cannot proc during the pool window.
- Garentop
Vladimir Transfusion (Q) hits from 600 range outside Garen Decisive Strike (Q) reach, so the trade favors range. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetable dodges the Demacian Justice (R) damage proc and Perseverance passive regen cannot keep up with Tides of Blood (E) AOE chip.
- Jaxtop
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) 2s untargetable window denies Jax Leap Strike (Q) commit and Counter Strike (E) ticks on empty ground. Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) grants resistances and an empowered hit, none of which land on him, and Relentless Assault decays before the pool ends.
- Jaycetop
Transfusion (Q) heals Vladimir through every Cannon poke exchange, and Sanguine Pool (W) untargetability dodges Hammer Thundering Blow (E) knockback frame. Tides of Blood (E) and Hemoplague (R) burst turn the long-lane poke trade into a Vladimir kill once he hits Riftmaker.
- Karthusjungle
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) turns untargetable mid-cast and dodges Karthus Lay Waste (Q) burst circle, so he resurfaces where Crimson Pact passive HP-scaled Transfusion (Q) drains him. Hemoplague (R) damage amp out-paces Defile (E) drain and the corpse passive Death Defied window.
- Kennentop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) actually outranges Tides of Blood (E) (950 versus 600), but Vladimir heals back every Transfusion (Q) trade. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetability dodges the Slicing Maelstrom (R) stun frames, and the Hemoplague (R) amp turns any post-6 all-in into a kill.
- Mordekaisertop
Vladimir Transfusion (Q) hits from 600 range outside Mordekaiser Obliterate (Q) reach, so the trade favors range. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetable dodges Realm of Death (R) lock window, denying his only all-in path and Indestructible (W) shield does not refresh inside the pool.
- Qiyanamid
Vladimir's Sanguine Pool makes him untargetable for 2 seconds the instant Audacity connects — Qiyana's full burst lands on empty ground while Vlad emerges and finishes her under a Hemoplague that amplifies everything his team lands.
- Tryndameretop
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) 2s untargetable window denies Tryndamere Spinning Slash (E) follow-up because he lands and finds no target for the Bloodlust passive crit ticks. Undying Rage (R) HP-zero burns alone while Tides of Blood (E) AOE chip out-paces his sustain.
- Veigarmid
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) turns untargetable mid-cast and dodges Veigar Event Horizon (E) stun ring on entry, so he resurfaces outside the cage. Crimson Pact passive HP-scaled Transfusion (Q) drains him and Hemoplague (R) damage amp out-trades Baleful Strike (Q) burst combo.
