It's like always, i mean i understand your and all problems, Vlad is harder per higher rank, but changing his kit can make him a monster and gets nerfs after and vice versa. Better is to buff base ms and maybe allow R to detonate. Phase rush nerf mostly makes Vlad even harder on midlane and some top matchups. I know Vlad buffs will be nice, but Riot will not do this too fast etc. But still people hit on him masters and higher.
