How to play Vladimir?

Vladimir excels in extended fights thanks to his passive, Transfusion, which heals him based on missing health. Early game, focus on poking with your Q, Siphon Power, while maintaining health with auto-attacks. Mid-game, look for opportunities to all-in with your E, Tides of Blood, and R, Hemorrhage, after landing a Q. Late game, Vladimir becomes a teamfight monster; position yourself at the edge of fights to maximize your sustain while dishing out massive AoE damage with your ult. Avoid diving too deep, as your lack of mobility makes you vulnerable to assassins and divers.
