I'd say it's high. I hear they're removing blood from splash art. And his splash is about 90% blood.


WHAT?!

REMOVING BLOOD?!

SACRILEDGE!

Where did you hear this?! A Blood Mage without blood in splash art is going to suck...

Yeah, I heard they're trying to make the game more PG-13 or something.

As if removing Graves' cigar wasn't bad enough.

So change the splash art of Classic Vlad so that its just a ball of red light instead of a ball of red swirling ''paint''?

The classic Vladimir splash is one of my favourites in the game, and one of the reasons I actually was drawn to playing him. I hope they don't change it.

My favourite is still Marquis Vladimir. I think its absolutely one of the best skins in the whole game.

I love how you get to fight in League of Legends as a Tom Cruise/Lestat vampire type character.

Actually, Vlad isn't even called a vampire in his lore. Never has been. He's a "Hemomancer".

Bruh. How did you drag a bot game on for over 43 minutes? Whenever I play the minions will finish the game for us around 30-35 minutes.

Friend wanted to practice jungle clears with Hecarim. I wanted to practice murdering people. That's literally all I did that entire game. My only death was diving the fountain for my third? fourth? pentakill. It was mostly waiting for the bots to spawn, murder, rinse, repeat.

Also, it was 4v5 with a jungler and the other lanes were both bots, so not exactly a push heavy strategy

Nice.
But to be fair I've seen the bots make some surprisingly good moves.
I mean, I've seen them make twice as many stupid moves, but they're not that bad :p

Almost got stomped once on intermediate bots where we had two feeders and someone who was just "meh". And I have lost on occasion where the team just totally does not know what they are doing.
Those are the worst. Trying to fight off fed bots all by yourself is just an uphill stuggle.
Surrendering is the healthiest option. Keeping that blood pressure steady.

Man, any decent champ can 1v5 a bot team. All you gotta do is exploit the way the AI thinks.

Intermediate bots are only decent at CC locking.

They're also decent at making much more gold without CSing and creating artificial difficulty.

Mageupdatemageupdatemageupdatemageupdatemageupdatemageupdate MAGEUPDATE!

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/featur ... ason-magic

WOOHOO!!!

Hype! Very much hyped. We finally have DETAILS!

Cassiopeia is getting reworked! And get this... SHE DOESN'T NEED BOOTS! Her new passive gets her movespeed that doesn't stack with boots! And she gets her OWN UNIQUE CC! Sick of hyper mobile champs like yas/zed/whathaveyou? Look no further! Her E stops dashes, flashes, and even those pesky thresh lanterns (As if they would remember to use them anyway :P)

Zyra is getting changed. Now her passive gives her more seeds! More plants! A different hitbox on her Q! All the plants!

Brand gets a three hit passive which turns people into zilean bombs! And the best part... It does damage based on health! Target the tank... and win! Why? I don't know, but it sounds awesome!

Malzahar gets temporary immunity to CC and resistance to damage with his passive.

Vladimir gets some really, really cool abilities. And it's still blood!

Vel'koz is... kinda the same. But his passive scales off of AP! And his ult... If you "research" enemies, whatever that means, it deals true damage!

And there's more! Elemental Dragons! Items that seem... Okay! I guess! And more, smaller champ changes! Including one for annie that I don't understand... Stun enemies and tibbers mauls them? Didn't... didn't that generally happen before? Eh.

Overall, pretty hyped.
I enjoy role-playing and ponies. I'm also descended from French kings, English kings, and Vikings. Can't speak anything other than English though.

Current catchphrase: "keep on keepin' on."

Hmmm... okay I just read it.

The new Tides of Blood seems a bit wonky and unwieldy, I'm not sure if it can still be used to help CS though which is a point of concern for me.

Q and R got some buffs which I hope won't get reversed. Since so much of Vladimir's playing involves poking and trading with Q and since it takes no real effort to proc the new extra damage passive... there's just no downside. R's heal is nice (even though most of the time, you or your enemies will all be dead by the time R is finished casting).

This new Tides of Blood... I dunno... it seems a bit sloppy. Its going to be very annoying if you can't insta-fire it like the old ability. I also really hope you can move and charge at the same time...
