AbilitiesLeague Wiki
We're continuing to identify ranged top laners who undeservedly gained laning dominance from our recent lane sustain changes, and Vladimir is next on that list of overperforming ranged tops. We're looking to make his matchups more interactive by giving more room for typically-physical melee champions to strike back during Vlad's moments of downtime. Also, the number 607 makes it uncomfortably easy to type 6-7 and we just can't have that.
