Viktor vs Vladimir in Mid lane is a skill matchup on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: his sustain outworks your poke — on one Doran's with limited mana you can't grind him down, and a fed Vlad is nearly unstoppable. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his sustain

His Transfusion (Q) heals through your poke — with one Doran's and limited mana you can't out-damage it, so don't try to trade him down.

Your Q spike

Prioritize your 2nd Hexcore upgrade — once your Q gives movespeed you start running him down and take over the lane.

Shove under his tower

Perma-shove so waves crash under his turret — on the cannon wave, angle your E laser through the minions and onto Vlad if you can.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never give Vlad an early lead — if he starts to snowball off it, he's very hard to stop.
