How to Play This Matchup
1
Power Curve
Vladimir is strongest late game while Zed peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
2
Mixed Resistances
Vladimir deals AP damage while Zed deals AD. Build resistances accordingly — don't stack the wrong type.
3
Sustained vs Burst
Zed wants to combo and disengage. Vladimir wins extended trades. Don't let Zed get a clean rotation — force long fights where sustain wins.
4
Range Advantage
Vladimir has range advantage. Zed should look for short trades when Vladimir uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
5
Exploit Vladimir's Weakness
Vladimir's main weakness: Early game weak, grievous wounds, hard engage pre-pool. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
6
Vladimir Win Condition
Scale, E+R teamfight nuke, pool dodges everything, unkillable late
7
Zed Win Condition
Assassinate squishies with R combo, splitpush side lanes
8
Ghost Threat
Vladimir runs Ghost — they can run you down in extended chases. Respect their movement speed and don't overstay in trades.
