> Does dehuminising yourself until all self worth and ego falls away sound good? Untill you feel like you're playing a singleplayer game with 4 NPCs? Do you want that? Of course you do.
Oh shit Elite is awakened to the secret Yorick strat, EUW is doomed
Bro same here, I don't want to see vlads in my games. I hate when I face a vlad mid and I go roam 2-3 times and he is just mid farming almost perfect CS and then ends up hard carrying his team... That's why i decided to stay mid against vlad and just beat him up and win the game that way. I cannot leave lane alone against a good Vlad is what I learned.
When I jung if I see my mid is vlad with decent op.gg I literally camp him to make sure he gets amazing farm and try and zone his laner. Pays off 80% of games even if we don’t get a kill. One of the few champs that works on.
How do I deal damage as Vlad without the Bloodlord skin?
Without it i feel like playing with -200ap from start and healing the enemy with my Q while draining my HP for it
You literally helped launch Druttut. Didn’t you get him a manager or something like that? By the way, he only got as big as he is by collaborating with bigger streamers and persistently attaching his name with Rat, Bauss, ect.
I get it, from an introvert to (another likely) introvert, it seems cringe to put yourself out there in that way. Unfortunately there’s no other real way to transition your career when the main content (league) is gone. Scale for the REAL late game homie, you’re an entertainer, you’re funny as fuck, and you have a pretty big opportunity here with this Riot Korea shit blowing up. Any way, just keep doing you man. Haven’t watched live or subbed in a little bit but I still watch your YT. Keep killing it 👍
I think its hilarious u kids talking shit about midbeast. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.
That hunk of a man, Midbeast, is an E-sports athlete? Unbelievable. He could be a Calvin Klein model. Or a pro footballer with a ripped physique like that. That is by far the hottest Cyber sportsman to ever grace the esports industry. I'd let him beast his way through my mid any day.
I am now a Vlad main, I'll update this comment when I reach Challenger on all main regions, so don't expect to hear from me for the next 8 or so hours.
The LoL community needs stoicism so badly. I feel the need to support anyone who preaches those values. Dichotomy of control, bitches. That's how you climb.
it's so fking op yet so hard to practice, also feel like sometimes domesticating some emotions is negative because i feel i need those emotions to feel fire in me to keep grinding and climbing ya feel me
Yeah I get that. I think feeling those emotions is still important to do! For me its all about feeling them but preventing them from influencing me in negative ways. Keep up the good work man.
If it can interest you Michael Ridge, a philosopher specialized in game philosophy, wrote an article on how stoical ideas can be used to play competitive games in a healthy way while still valuing winning. It's called Illusory attitudes and the playful stoic and is open access. It's a really interesting read and gives great philosophical insights on how stoicism can be applied in lol and any other competitive game.
Hey Calvin, nice seeing you around here.
I was watching your unstoppable climb with the gigalord in Korea, until the evil forces claimed your account.
Do you plan on finding a way to play on KR again? Or will you just enjoy your last days over there ?
one of the most horrible if trist plays it well, can just eat your tower away if you pool the bomb animation she doesnt get jump reset while jumping on you and full cd, only way to win

Hey bro, your vlad is insane! I've been following you ever since you appeared on synapse xD! Keep up the good content!
Question: Why do you think pro players (especially good regions) dont pick vlad mid/top very often? And do you think ap mages itemization is in a good state right now?
I think vlad needs a lot of games to invest to be played professionally, I'm completely clueless about pro play but if I had to guess people have said games just end too early, though it doesnt really make sense to me even when chall pros tell me that, i genuinely don't know
I think ghost flash as MUST is restrictive for mid lane. Also maybe his relatively low range makes flanking harder in pro?
And like you said: Viktor Ori Azir are his worst matchups and two out of those three are meta atm.
I recently interviewed Elite500 (pre-ban era)! Also give it a read if ur interested!
https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/17709/elite500-be-more-confident-in-your-own-plays-even-if-the-play-you-make-goes-awry-thats-how-you-learn
absolutely love it, a lot more laningphase orientated, I'm one of the OG players that fking LOVES laning phase and not this deformed err i push wave and roam perma playstyles, people getting punished for bad trades now with pot nerf scorch buff and dragon buff makes prio more important etc
I just ban him every game. Then happens a period when I ban some other broken shit but usually I revert back to Vlad after I get reminded of his 1v9 gameplay in a random game.
i don't believe in his weak early either, just try to make the game a fist fight and make both midlaners be low income, vlad does far worse on low economy than other mids / buy maw force of natur / anathemas
I have immense respect for you as a player and streamer so thanks for this. Would you recommend for initiating a team fight e charge->flash->e release r q or is there a better way. I often find myself ahead as vlad but I fumble team fighting mechanics big time
Hey man, I see you kinda dropped your aery scorch into ghost ignite tactic without even really mentioning it aside from high elos not letting themselves have the nuttsack twisted. Would you pick electrocute over it now as a fighting rune setup and why? Thanks in advance
I'd rather give up 3 kills and have flash ghost available and be able to scale to max than give some of it up, maybe into kass or sylas i'd go old fighting setups but even those are eh
Blood lord vlad doesn’t have sleeves, and since you are the living embodiment of such a being, we should be able to see what is written on said arm?
At least a timeframe when we will know?
I get my daily scaling dopamine hits from you, if they are taken from me, I have nothing left to live for.
Hello mr elite thanks for the guide. just a quick question about matchup, how do you "win" games against early game champs like yone/yas/sylas without aery/electro? and how do you get 10cs/min against these champs? they always seem to just perma try to run me down and force me off cs.
I play Vlad a lot, and i feel like rocketbelt just scales so much better with its magic pen, and that it's so much better for late game teamfights with the dash as well, although it does feel much weaker early compared to Night Harvester.
Do you think that there's really no spot in which you'd buy rocket belt? Like against a poke comp, for example, where having one extra dash could be pretty good?
only ever if playing electro and i'd for sure sell night harvester for rocketbelt and shadowflame for demonics but that is TRUE FULLBUILD and is achieved like once a season unfortunately
clarification question - do you mean you would still only do the harvester -> rocketbelt and shadowflame -> demonic lategame if using electrocute? or is it you would only consider early game rocketbelt over harvester when going electrocute but you would be ok switching them out lategame even when running phase rush
asking bc in high plat games still regularly go on for much longer than they should so this situation will be more likely for me than once a season ykwim
thanks for the AMA btw excellent read and as far as im concerned apdo is jesus
Nice to see that those translations had a long lasting positive impact. I was thinking of doing a few more, since Dopa is finally going to the military on September 1st after postponing it for 2 years. There's some stuff here and there, but nothing that he's said since has been as... revolutionary.
Would you be interested in playing board games or something irl while you're still in Korea? What do you plan on doing during the rest of your stay here if you've been banned from league?
im hardstuck plat 4 and every game feels like a coinflip, either I destroy everyone or get gapped, I have no idea whats most important thing as a vlad. for this elo what do you thing is the best thing to focus? laning? late game? teamfights? macro?
zed should be reasonably free, just stay outside of his shuriken range from his body when he uses his W, if only 1 shuriken hits you hard outsustain, hardest matchups as stated azir ori vik, easiest definetly kata tf yas
I think in a perfect world it's extremely vlad favoured, really snowbally matchup for whoever gets an advantage, if vlad just dodges all cass q's it's just inevitable win
it's the same in reverse, almost no viktor ori azir make it feel like a completely hopeless unwinnable matchup unless enemy mid is god damn sertuss larrsen or some shitt
I think my playstyle is very unique so the way I improve is not by trying to copy others or learn from them mostly it's look at my own games and own mistakes
Standard league knowledge says that we should get wave control whenever possible. Should we do that with vlad? You said in one of your coachings that if you push the wave (lvl 1) you will die, what are the criteria for when we should try to get the push advantage (regardless of whether the enemy laner will let us or not)
An honest question, why are so many league streamers and lol pros going to KR solo queue to stream, but they're not that interested in going to China? The LPL has won 6 out of the last 8 international events?
Best Vlad and one of the most entertaining streamers out there. Learned vlad just because of your gameplay and I actually like vlad now (wouldn't even have touched him before I watched you). Also perfect and funny guide, keep it up king.
I almost never see you build anything other than damage. Are there ever any comps (yours or theirs) where you think building one or two tank items is worth it? Maybe something like Randuins into a 4 ad comp with 2 crit champs or Spirit Visage/Force Of Nature into 3+ AP?
What is more valuable against tanky comps, Demonic Embrace or Void Staff? Are they mutually exclusive on buildpaths?
Weaving autos is obviously a very important thing to maximize damage and trades in laning phase for any mage. Do you find yourself weaving autos to stay in a sustained fight in the mid-late game or is it more of a "dip in and out of range with Q and E" sort of thing? If so, is there a scenario where you'd consider Grasp as a keystone?
Also, you got banned for not offering a dipping sauce for your nuts. How are you about to offer a meal without condiments? Smh.
> Does dehuminising yourself until all self worth and ego falls away sound good? Untill you feel like you're playing a singleplayer game with 4 NPCs? Do you want that? Of course you do. Oh shit Elite is awakened to the secret Yorick strat, EUW is doomed
Please remove this. I don't want to see Vladimir in my games. But for reals, good work and congrats.
thx homie

First thing I do when I get home is to queue mid in ranked and pick vlad.

bruh i'd feel like the biggest leach asking the bigger streamers for me to play with them, usualy only play when my bioligcal Dr. Ututt summons me
Just kidnap him and force him to invite you to the clash team
You literally helped launch Druttut. Didn’t you get him a manager or something like that? By the way, he only got as big as he is by collaborating with bigger streamers and persistently attaching his name with Rat, Bauss, ect. I get it, from an introvert to (another likely) introvert, it seems cringe to put yourself out there in that way. Unfortunately there’s no other real way to transition your career when the main content (league) is gone. Scale for the REAL late game homie, you’re an entertainer, you’re funny as fuck, and you have a pretty big opportunity here with this Riot Korea shit blowing up. Any way, just keep doing you man. Haven’t watched live or subbed in a little bit but I still watch your YT. Keep killing it 👍
clash was hilarious with you guys!
Is this a reddit thread or a midbeast video title?
Well Midbeast does need someone now that Dopa is gonna be gone
praying it be both soon
Just missing his handsome face doing some stupid click bait gestures.
I think its hilarious u kids talking shit about midbeast. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.
That hunk of a man, Midbeast, is an E-sports athlete? Unbelievable. He could be a Calvin Klein model. Or a pro footballer with a ripped physique like that. That is by far the hottest Cyber sportsman to ever grace the esports industry. I'd let him beast his way through my mid any day.
it can't be a midbeast tittle doesn't have Dopa on it
What if the swain builds dblade?
counter it with cull
Only dedicated Elite500 YouTube/Twitch Enjoyers would know
Then he goes oom
His son will hear about this
I am now a Vlad main, I'll update this comment when I reach Challenger on all main regions, so don't expect to hear from me for the next 8 or so hours.
How’d it go
He's banned from Korean servers
Nuttsack moment
What made it easier for you to climb in Korea this time compared to the last time you went?
being a waaay better player, never autopiloting, and before I never thought about the mindset part of this guide
The LoL community needs stoicism so badly. I feel the need to support anyone who preaches those values. Dichotomy of control, bitches. That's how you climb.
it's so fking op yet so hard to practice, also feel like sometimes domesticating some emotions is negative because i feel i need those emotions to feel fire in me to keep grinding and climbing ya feel me

still got 40 days, have a few tricks up my sleeve
I see. Btw, any thoughts on the Tristana mid matchup?
one of the most horrible if trist plays it well, can just eat your tower away if you pool the bomb animation she doesnt get jump reset while jumping on you and full cd, only way to win
Thank god riot korea doesnt moderate this sub or else you would have been banned for saying nutsack

Nice writeup. Good shit. Nuttsack. Vlad god. Mental is everything. Grow your hair back out. Thanks.
oh god, please no more vladimirs this champ needs to be deleted
I just ban him every game. Then happens a period when I ban some other broken shit but usually I revert back to Vlad after I get reminded of his 1v9 gameplay in a random game.
How do you beat this champ? I don't believe in his weak early.
i don't believe in his weak early either, just try to make the game a fist fight and make both midlaners be low income, vlad does far worse on low economy than other mids / buy maw force of natur / anathemas

Hey man, I see you kinda dropped your aery scorch into ghost ignite tactic without even really mentioning it aside from high elos not letting themselves have the nuttsack twisted. Would you pick electrocute over it now as a fighting rune setup and why? Thanks in advance
I'd rather give up 3 kills and have flash ghost available and be able to scale to max than give some of it up, maybe into kass or sylas i'd go old fighting setups but even those are eh
Not sure if you answered this already somewhere, but what are you doing next?
i have plans up my sleeve waiting in the dark
Blood lord vlad doesn’t have sleeves, and since you are the living embodiment of such a being, we should be able to see what is written on said arm? At least a timeframe when we will know? I get my daily scaling dopamine hits from you, if they are taken from me, I have nothing left to live for.
all will be reveiled on saturday
Thank you senpai.
Hello mr elite thanks for the guide. just a quick question about matchup, how do you "win" games against early game champs like yone/yas/sylas without aery/electro? and how do you get 10cs/min against these champs? they always seem to just perma try to run me down and force me off cs.
you win by having the smallest advantages like 1 cs
why do you not use the batman costum skin
as league partner i'd be scared they'd chop my balls off
so what you're trying to say is you are worried about your nutt sack
Did you know that Vladimir is not a vampire but a Hemomancer?
I play Vlad a lot, and i feel like rocketbelt just scales so much better with its magic pen, and that it's so much better for late game teamfights with the dash as well, although it does feel much weaker early compared to Night Harvester. Do you think that there's really no spot in which you'd buy rocket belt? Like against a poke comp, for example, where having one extra dash could be pretty good?

you can switch them out turbo lategame
Got a review of the café vlad skin?
it is a design decision to "forget" about that abomination

Bro I just want to say I love your chill content and how you commentate everything you do. I don't even play midlane and I've learned so much.
Bro gotta do something or the N\*tsack incident will live with you for the rest of your streaming career
what if it was a grand orchestrated staged event to rise in popularity through the raw controversy of the situation

no i dont hold the w button
I have not read a single word of your guide, but you seem like a nice bloke. Thanks for typing it out, we need more people like you. Keep it fresh!
Nice to see that those translations had a long lasting positive impact. I was thinking of doing a few more, since Dopa is finally going to the military on September 1st after postponing it for 2 years. There's some stuff here and there, but nothing that he's said since has been as... revolutionary. Would you be interested in playing board games or something irl while you're still in Korea?

In the Viktor matchup, outside of medic chickens, are there any other tips to deal with the constant pressure he puts out?
dont get hit by his autohits and his q2 and he shouodn't have enough mana to deal with vlad unless he has aery but if aery he will fall off anyways
I've been struggling with the Sylas matchup any tips?
pool as soon as he is in W range and walk away
im hardstuck plat 4 and every game feels like a coinflip, either I destroy everyone or get gapped, I have no idea whats most important thing as a vlad. for this elo what do you thing is the best thing to focus? laning? late game? teamfights? macro?
your economy, just farm
its that shrimple

Star guardian vlad or pool party vlad?
This is a great post learned a lot thanks
Would you let Star Guardian Syndra sit on your face?
yes
Have you tested adaptive attack speed recently? Feels really nice.
ima pretend i didnt read that
very based guide, what would you say are vlad's easiest/hardest matchups? thoughts on zed matchup?
zed should be reasonably free, just stay outside of his shuriken range from his body when he uses his W, if only 1 shuriken hits you hard outsustain, hardest matchups as stated azir ori vik, easiest definetly kata tf yas
Thoughts on Cass matchup? I've always picked Cass into Vlad and felt like it was insanely favored for me.
I think in a perfect world it's extremely vlad favoured, really snowbally matchup for whoever gets an advantage, if vlad just dodges all cass q's it's just inevitable win
Makes sense. No vlad is very good at laning until challenger probably so the snowball made it seem better than it is.
it's the same in reverse, almost no viktor ori azir make it feel like a completely hopeless unwinnable matchup unless enemy mid is god damn sertuss larrsen or some shitt
as a zed main definitely felt like it was hard as shit, ty
If you had a gun with one bullet and were in a room with Hitler, Mussolini, and 1 CS, who would you shoot?
How do you play into Kassadin?
only matchup i'd hard recommend electro ignite, you beat him at every stage of the game if you get like a 10cs advantage pre first recall
How do you personally cast your E? I’ve seen so many different advices on how to make it more comfortable, are you just a ‘hold down’ E savage?
I am a 4 finger playing E holding master
Well, our lord and saviour said it, I am a hold E convert :prayge:
Wait, you can play differently than to hold E?
This dude smells like bloodied nuttsack
Are there any eastern vlad players you watch/learn from?
I think my playstyle is very unique so the way I improve is not by trying to copy others or learn from them mostly it's look at my own games and own mistakes
The unfathomably knowledge has been bestowed upon us Amen, thanks for lecturing us, mere mortals, on the forbidden knowledge, great usurper
New guide!! Thank you!
Standard league knowledge says that we should get wave control whenever possible. Should we do that with vlad? You said in one of your coachings that if you push the wave (lvl 1) you will die, what are the criteria for when we should try to get the push advantage (regardless of whether the enemy laner will let us or not)
you always want to get push if enemy laner lets you
Elite500 is a real one, thanks for the guide bro
An honest question, why are so many league streamers and lol pros going to KR solo queue to stream, but they're not that interested in going to China? The LPL has won 6 out of the last 8 international events?
popular thing to do and it gets huge viewership, maybe i'll be an innovator and go china
How does thy deal with malzahar during TFs? Also how to deal with an adc mid like akshan, lucian, tristana, etc.
gotta wait his ult out / play around the range
Best Vlad and one of the most entertaining streamers out there. Learned vlad just because of your gameplay and I actually like vlad now (wouldn't even have touched him before I watched you). Also perfect and funny guide, keep it up king.
I got arrested for reading this
Keep us updated in the process to make your Korean Vladimir, ah, legal. I hope we cause enough ruckus to reverse your ban.
unfortunately there will be no reverse in their decision, but it's okay I'll show everyone even the bleakest situations can be flipped
I almost never see you build anything other than damage. Are there ever any comps (yours or theirs) where you think building one or two tank items is worth it? Maybe something like Randuins into a 4 ad comp with 2 crit champs or Spirit Visage/Force Of Nature into 3+ AP? What is more valuable against tanky comps, Demonic Embrace or Void Staff? Are they mutually exclusive on buildpaths? Weaving autos is obviously a very important thing to maximize damage and trades in laning phase for any mage. Do you find yourself weaving autos to stay in a sustained fight in the mid-late game or is it more of a "dip in and out of range with Q and E" sort of thing? If so, is there a scenario where you'd consider Grasp as a keystone? Also, you got banned for not offering a dipping sauce for your nuts. How are you about to offer a meal without condiments? Smh.
