Building The Worst Champion In Lor
With the talk of rotation recently, and Vlad being mentioned by the devs for a big reason why cards need to be shifted in and out of the game. I wanted to see if I could build a highly competitive and new Vlad deck.
Here's the list its very powerful and wins non stop into certain regions and matchups. Is it just worse then Fiora, Pantheon with strikes challenges and purple equipment - maybe but not everything needs to be a binary equation.
The point was that old champions are exceptionally viable, old champion pkgs (supporting cards) are not however every single crimson card is kinda awful.
So rather then rotating and redesigning viable champions out of standard they should be patching and updating followers to be viable.
Adding tough for example to his followers without the need to draw one specific landmark in freijord etc.
But yeah still not sold on rotation as this brew proves vlad in a vacuum is a great card, it's just everything else supporting him is under the power curve and had to be replaced with recent awakening followers.

Vlad is decent champion who happen to be in the wrong region, to work he require access to defensive combat tricks and healing which doesn't fit with Noxus identity, Noxus is all about aggression their unit's tend have high attack and multiple ways to inflict damage to the nexus but in exchange of that they are fragile and lack protection.
This is way I like the idea of him being rotated and redesigned into something more in line with Noxus identity.
Honestly I was even winning into Fiora Pantheon, which is the big bad meta deck designed by the galaxy brain try hards.
So I would say deck just fine, like don't get me wrong pale cascade, healing touch are very easy value generators, but 4 mana one way strikes are pretty good.
Like if you want run vlad in freijord or targon, the cards fine just don't run the crimson pkg because the followers will let you down everytime in regards to the current power curve.
-----side note-----
A lot of what is considered good in this game is easily exploitable play patterns resulting in a rock paper Scissors meta.
I play a 5/7 boat, hahaha I play my 7/7 spellshield with single combat, win game...like yeah you did but what happens when your opponent has brain cells and isn't playing the overstated Swain deck for there is only one.
Or haha I'm gonna flood the board with Nami, and boom there's my Fiora to harass your garbage nothing plays.
And now you have a meta deck...Rock paper Scissors. Meanwhile anyone with a brain can turbo out interesting wincons and play patterns with under utilized archetypes and all of a sudden the rock paper Scissors goes out the window and you auto win.
Competitive or meta players are essentially marchup wizzards but outside of that not really great brewers or players.
