Thank goodness! Posting another in my blog! I wasn't able to post because I just got some errands to do and still doing some. But I definitely want to post this first before anything. Because I like to do it for you guys! 😎👍 Okay! Here we go!
Lore
His lore is just short. I did not shortcut it. Just saying. 😂
Vladimir is a Noxian who always thirst for blood. I don't mean it literaly because he is not a Vampire. He's a Hemomancer. It means "Hemo" or blood and "Mancer" as manipulator. So he only manipulates blood, not drinking them. Moving on!
Between Noxus and Tempest Flats, there was a temple, a hidden temple, where the secrets of an ancient sorcery is kept. This place were surrounded by the unwanted people's corpses who wandered too near upon the temple.
This did not terrify Vladimir because he is a freak who killed 2 boys without any reason. Sounds nice, eh? His curiosity drove him to the temple leaving Noxus heading south. He told that he won't be able to suppress his murderous desires if he stayed at Noxus.
As he walked a path of dead bodies, he saw a stone temple where an aging old monk gazed at him. This teenage Vladimir returned the gaze without fear but with zeal.
The monk realized Vladimir's craving. So he taught him how to be a hemomancer practicing mostly on wandering people around the temple. And came to his last training where death may occur to him if failed.
It was a ritual. He was able to be successful on that ritual. But that success led to a bloody one. The monk's blood escaped his body to Vladimir's imbuing the power of the monk.
He was left without any purpose. So he came back to Noxus to show his power unto them. His power was recognized by the Noxians and the Noxian High Command that kill a lot of the palace guards. And after time has passed, when Vladimir's craft was known, the Noxian High Command let their people avail the same craft, the same horrifying craft.
This lore is full of gore. Every side of the his story was horrifying. 😨

Abilities
(Video by: TheMonk)
Passive: Crimson Pact
Vladimir gains Ability Power from the Bonus Health he has and he gains Bonus Health from the Ability Power he has.
Q: Transfusion
Vladimir drains the lifeforce of the enemy champion dealing magic damage and healing himself. If transfusion is casted twice, he will gain Crimson Rush after a while.
Crimson Rush: For 2.5 seconds, Vladimir is hasted. Transfusion has increased damage and increased healing depending on the health missing and has empowered heal on minions.
W: Sanguine Pool
Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood hasting himself for 2 seconds, dealing magic damage, heals himself for a percentage of the damage he dealt and makes him untargetable. Takes a percentage of his health.
E: Tides of Blood
First Cast*: Vladimir charges up a reservoir of blood spending some of his health to increase damage. At full charge, he is slowed.
Second Cast: Vladimir blasts the blood around him dealing magic damage. Targets can block a portion of the blast.
Will release automatically if held more than 1.5 seconds.
R: Hemoplague
Vladimir infect enemy champions with a plague, increasing the damage of every skill he cast for 4 seconds.
After 4 seconds, Vladimir deals magic damage to all enemies hit and heals him depending on his Ability Power with additional percentage depending also on his Ability Power from the enemy champions he hit.
Awesome kit isn't it?
In addition, because I love you guys, here's a combo guide from Michael Hopko.
For the skill build, I go with Q, E, W.
Q for poke and minion kills.
E for trades and
W for dodging skills.
Summoner Skills
For my summoner skills, I used either...
If I need to be strong enough to group up with my teammates.
If I need to be macromanagement centric.
Either will nice. It depends on what I want. So feel free to use any of those.
Builds
I personally recommend these. I didn't base it anywhere. 😁 You can also compose builds for him if you want.
Doran shield and Health Potions with a Warding Trinket.
Just to be able to kite out and still have my missing health filled. Best with freezing.
Because once you build them, you will achieve his power spike until the rest of the game.
Runes
These runes are good for late game scaling.
