In my own personal experience (4.4mil vlad top main), it depends. Sometimes top is easy mode and sometimes mid is. Matchups matter far more top side. Top lane is far less forgiving, especially if you're weakside and get the 2v1/3v1 treatment multiple times. However, when mid lane is hard, I do believe the difficulty is the highest for sure. There are some very rough matchups mid and there are more "chores" you have to do as a mid-laner. Couple that with the ganks you get from jg and bot lane roaming and it can absolutely be a nightmare, especially in terms of securing objectives. Honestly, this is the first season I've felt comfortable playing Vlad top consistently since season 11.
He had to decide between pooling the towershot or waiting for the ult to come up. He would have been a lot more vulnerable to dying had he taken that damage, so he chose using W.
That matchup is so much harder now than it used to be. If you can do a 2 wave shove and have the third wave bounce back, you can look to freeze and zone. However, depending on the Nasus and his rune choices, he can just Q away your damage. I used to run swifties for the slow reduction but that was removed last patch, iirc. If you don't run PR, you might be able to get a huge lead early, but if you don't you're likely screwed in terms of the 1v1 and he will eventually out-scale that lead in the 1v1 anyway. Your best option is to harass him early as much as you can while farming, try to keep him from stacking efficiently, and then get your team on board with rotating and killing him together if he pushes past river. Look for objectives or fights afterwards and try to end the game as quickly as you can. If you're lucky, your jg can help you get a lead, but I would personally prefer my jg to get bot lane fed so its easier to kill him as a team. Good luck man.
Buy swiftie boots, take the slow reduce rune, farm up, get a teamfight wipe. if you can bully him in lane then do it, but you can't 1v1 after 15 minutes unless you're fed.
He's right though, mid vlad is so much harder than top. Mid has a lot of bad matchups and champions that can perma shove you in and roam to punish your early game. The mid lane meta hard counters vlad, sadly.
@@karlrose405 Irelia is a good matchup from my experience. If you go Aery + Ignite she can't kill you unless she has a wave near tower and she's 100% hp, or if she has a bork.

Do you have a tip if your enemy are playing Nasus and Voli and u r Vlad top?
@@jimmykudo11 ff, those matchups suck!
@@lukeparnitzke9987 well, fair enough.
@@jimmykudo11 Phase rush for both, sadly.
Elo
6:40 The underlord doesnt know about attack champion only 🤔
many high level players don't actually, i mean they do know but never use it.
The bloodlord doesnt know about the 10% damage amplificiation his ult causes
stormsurge is insane bait item lol
i hate that item so much
Stats are great for its cost but my god the effect is so outrageously bad i hate it.
legit the only champ that makes use of that item is syndra for its stats but thats legit it
@@babymoet8538xD
Nah its good on some stuff
6:39 this is why its worth having target champions only bound to capslock or smth
Nah that spacing vs gp was supernatural
Daily uploads so good! Thank you!
yeah that spacing was nutz nice game
Ur keyboard is echoing really hard man
6:01 whats the advantage of not ulting before e to amplify damage?

against gp you buy magic wand for free charges
Its not the Item, lord calvin.
Its the rune, its really powerful this season with vlad
Being playing Vlad lately. would like to play him as toplane tank. Any tips ? :) Cool videos btw
that stolen valor on Viego at the end, should've been a penta kill
I’ve been going stormsurge first item and telling people but none listens.
Isn’t deathcap rush trolling?
omg azzapp's CAN WIN is becoming a pleague in korea :P
por que o cooldown do seu W diminuiu na última luta? alguém pode responder?
Does anybody Knowles hoy to counter nasus with Vlad at top?

Wp bloodlord, I'll try him top now. I don't like any of the AP choices for top lane, maybe vlad can fill that role this patch
idk why use ignite vla top instead of ghost for more speed ?
u probably know after 1 entire month but its just cuz ghost kinda fkin sucks after the nerfs and ignite is rlly good
How tall is calvin? He looks gigantic
TH-cam has been like actually trying to hide that you're uploading from me. I don't get it

Wind mage vlad?
Toplane is all fun and games as Vlad until Yorick shows up
Or Irelia :)

deathcap first ?
No, he rushed D Rings
Not as skilled as forsen in the top lane but close enough
vladi ya no tiene el daño explosivo como antes
Con esta build siento que si
Another masterclass
i think stormsurge isnt good at all, maybe shadowflame would perform better
