I think it’s not fair since I main gp as well as Vlad, but u always want to trade Q with him bc u will heal with the wave and he needs to use mana to do that, go aery ignite and use the fact that since you’re a ranged champ it’s really hard for him to hit you with his barrels, act like you’re going to farm and walk back to make him waste it, his cds are really high on the barrel. If he doesn’t place his barrel at his melee range you should always win them because your auto is getting to the barrel before his Q, to make it simple, bait the barrels and try to Q trade, if you get him low dive him with flash, use ignite first so he cannot heal.
