How to Use Vladimir Counter Data
Struggling to find dependable Vladimir counters? The matchup figures below are pulled from live ranked Mid lane games, not from guesses based on tier lists. At the moment, Aatrox, Irelia, and Pantheon give Vladimir the most trouble, with his win rate sinking furthest beneath his average in those duels. Aatrox is the toughest of them: Vladimir wins only 43.4% of 461 recorded games against him. On the other side, Vladimir beats Tristana, Malphite, and Mel often enough that they’re worth targeting during champion select.
Every card lists Vladimir’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on, and larger samples, such as those in the tens of thousands, deserve more confidence than ones with only a few hundred games. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come directly from those win rates: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. Think of them as a quick reading guide rather than a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is taken from patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the figures shift as the meta does. Matchups tell only part of the story, so also look at the current Vladimir build for the best items and runes, or visit the Vladimir champion page for his abilities and complete details.
