Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win this lane clearly — your range advantage lets you poke freely, and W denies his Q heal during trades, which is his only meaningful sustain tool.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more dangerous because his R plus pool can burst you if you are caught in a bad position, but you still win short trades and can disengage with W before he completes a full combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to auto-attack repeatedly while keeping distance, applying poison stacks, and using W the moment he walks up to Q so he deals no damage and takes a full poison tick.
- Avoid extended all-ins post-6 — land your E, auto twice, and back off rather than staying in range of his full R-pool-Q combo.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave slightly pushed so Vladimir is forced to walk up to farm under tower, maximizing your poke window and reducing his ability to safely Q minions for sustain.
- If he tries to freeze, shove aggressively and look to roam or set up jungle pressure, as he has no reliable way to punish your push without a strong engage tool.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not walk into brush or commit to a long trade post-6 without vision of his R cooldown — his R-pool combination can delete you faster than your poison can respond if you are caught standing still.
- Avoid using W reactively after he has already landed Q, as the damage is already done; you must use W preemptively during his walk-up to deny the trade entirely.
