Vladimir vs Kled

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Vladimir must manage a low-pressure early lane focused on farming safely and surviving Kled's early all-in threat.
Prioritize sustaining through short (Q) trades and avoid giving Kled opportunities to force extended fights or remount advantages.
This is a snowball vs scaling matchup where Vladimir aims to outscale Kled by preserving health and hitting item spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade only when empowered (Q) is ready and (W) is available to negate Kled's burst or pull.
Punish Kled's forced (W) cooldown by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or (Q) tether is active to reduce risk of all-in engages.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether lands and (W) is ready, as this is his primary all-in threat.
Avoid fights when Kled is near remount, as he gains effective health and can bait overcommit.
Respect Kled's level 6 (R) engage potential, especially in fog of war or with allied follow-up.

Early game

Use (Q) to sustain through early harassment and avoid extended trades before empowered (Q) is ready.
Respect Kled's early all-in power around levels 2-3 when his (Q) tether and (W) burst are active.
Avoid fighting near Kled's remount window to prevent extended fights that favor him.

Power spikes

Track level 6 (R) to use all-in or teamfight burst windows effectively; use (R) for picks or defensive resets.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 spike with (Q), (W), and (E) enabling early all-ins; avoid extended trades during this period.
After Vladimir's first completed AP item, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while monitoring Kled's cooldowns.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by using (Q) sustain and avoiding forced (W) usage to reach key AP item spikes.
Use empowered (Q) trades and (R) teamfight burst to punish grouped enemies and swing mid-game fights.
Deny Kled extended fights near remount and leverage Vladimir's scaling to outlast and outburst in late-game teamfights.
