I played a few rounds of URF mode with Vladimir today. It was quite the experience, let me tell you!
First off, I started by checking out some builds online. I saw that a lot of folks were going with the Sorcery tree, using Phase Rush as the keystone. It seems like a solid choice, with a decent win rate. So, I decided to give that a shot.
In the game, I focused on building items that gave me a good mix of power and survivability. Zhonya’s Hourglass was a must-have, especially with all the chaos happening in URF mode. I also took a look at what * had to say about runes and builds. It was interesting to see what was popular and what was actually working well.
- Early Game: I started the game focusing on farming and poking. Vladimir’s early game is not that strong, so I played it safe. I also maxed out my abilities based on what I saw in some guides, which suggested focusing on my W first. It seemed to work fine, although I noticed some people were having success with Grasp builds, which were apparently nerfed a while back.
- Mid Game: Once I got a few items, things started to pick up. I could jump into fights more confidently, using my abilities to deal damage and stay alive. Phase Rush really helped with mobility, allowing me to get in and out of skirmishes quickly.
- Late Game: By the late game, I was feeling pretty strong. With the right items and runes, I could be a real nuisance to the enemy team. It was fun to see how much of an impact I could have in team fights, especially when I timed my abilities correctly.
Overall, it was a wild ride. URF mode is always crazy, but playing Vladimir made it even more interesting. I had some good games and some not-so-good ones, but that’s just how it goes. It’s all about learning and adapting, right?
Final Thoughts
It seems like there’s a lot to learn about playing Vladimir in URF mode. The community has a lot of different opinions on what works best, and it’s always changing. I might try out some other builds next time, maybe even that old Grasp build if I’m feeling adventurous. But for now, I’m happy with how things went. It’s always a good time trying out new things and seeing what works.
