Alright, guys, let’s talk about Vladimir skins. I’ve been playing a ton of Vlad lately, trying to climb the ranked ladder (with mixed success, I’ll admit!), and that means I’ve been experimenting with his different looks. It’s not just about looking cool, though that’s part of it. Sometimes a skin just feels better, you know?
So, I started by just using the default skin. Gotta get a feel for the champion, right? Basic, crimson-red Vlad. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
Then, I moved on to trying out every single skin I could get my hands on. Whether I owned them, got them in a chest, or snagged them during a sale, I tried them all. Here’s a quick rundown of my experience:
My Vladimir Skin Journey
- Count Vladimir: Felt a little clunky, honestly. The cape is cool, but it didn’t really wow me.
- Marquis Vladimir: Okay, this one is a bit more stylish. The white suit is a nice change of pace, but still felt kinda… basic.
- Nosferatu Vladimir: Spooky! This one is fun for Halloween, but it’s not my everyday go-to. The animations are alright, but it feels dated.
- Vandal Vladimir: I actually liked this one more than I thought I would. The biker look is kinda badass, and it felt surprisingly smooth to play.
- Blood Lord Vladimir: Okay, this is where things get interesting. The legendary skin. It looks amazing, with all the new animations and voice lines. But honestly? I found the sound effects a bit distracting during intense team fights. It’s visually impressive, but for pure gameplay, I wasn’t totally sold.
- Soulstealer Vladimir This one gives a ghostly vibe, the green is real eye-catching.
- Academy Vladimir: Meh. It’s a fun concept, the young, student Vlad. But it just didn’t click with me.
- Dark Waters Vladimir: Okay now the color is really attracting. Makes me feel like a deep sea monster.
- Nightbringer Vladimir: Really cool! The dark color is what I like!
- Cosmic Devourer Vladimir: Whoa. This one is epic. The cosmic effects are gorgeous, and it feels incredibly powerful to play. I think the animations are really well done, and it doesn’t feel as distracting as Blood Lord.
- Cafe Cuties Vladimir: This is absolutely a joke, wearing pink apron and serving the blood？NO！
After all that testing, switching back and forth, playing dozens of games, I finally settled on what I think is the best Vladimir skin, for me at least. I kept coming back to Nightbringer Vladimir and Cosmic Devourer Vladimir. Finally, I choose Cosmic Devourer Vladimir.
So yeah, that’s my take on the best Vladimir skin. It all comes down to personal preference, but if you’re looking for something that looks awesome, has smooth animations, then try Nightbringer Vladimir and Cosmic Devourer Vladimir first. Good luck on the Rift!
