That hunk of a man, Elite500, is an E-sports athlete? Unbelievable. He could be a Calvin Klein model. Or a pro footballer with a ripped physique like that. That is by far the hottest Cyber sportsman to ever grace the esports industry. I'd let him 500 his way through my Elite any day.
I used to watch him a lot. He builds Mejai even when he is behind. Best way to come back in game or snowball out of the universe. He just doesnt die after that point and picks up random kills and assists. So free investement on Vlad, its insane. The champ scales too good to miss out on it. He is so clean he just builds it.
Mejais is not a good item when winning the game on vlad. If you are winning with vlad you dont need to extend your lead even further. Mejais is only good if either 1. Game is pretty much unwinnable and you need a miracle 2. Both teams are even, but you are the fed one on your team.
@@meiti2000 you take dark seal almost always anyways so its a very efficient item if you're snowballing aswell. Especially because you buy deathcap so early.
@@RapierUnit obviously you take dark seal, doesn't mean you need to upgrade it If you are snowballing as Vlad and your team is even, you've basically won the game already. Its only losable if you fuck up really hard, or if you buy mejais and lose all your stacks.
@@meiti2000 yeah buying the item and losing the stacks is turbo bad. So i agree that maybe not buying and risking the throw might be better. I think if ur confident u can not die tho it applies a lot of extra pressure that can really 1v9 a game. Then again, if ur ahead early as vlad, who really only needs to scale, then it might be better to just scale it out instead of greed the lead.
@@RapierUnit exactly. If you are confident enough to not die you dont even need mejais. And if you and your whole team is turbo ahead even if you die you can still win easily. The easiest way to lose a huge lead is to go mejais and die. Of course if you are ahead and the rest of your team is behind mejais is a great choice
@@zib2222 r gives +100 damage and nothing other not even CD, while e gives less cd more slow near 100 damage also you can use it every 2-3 seconds it's just %1000 better than r max
not anymore. If you look at his match history he is going conq every game. Fully stacked you get like 40 ap. It's nuts as long as you survive until your first back to buy either a hextech revolver or a fiendish codex.
10:23 that wasn't panic. He needs to ghost out because if liss is in ult range he dies. 17:15 vlad used to sell boots for deadmans. Spellbinder was part of his core build. After item rework, vlad still occasionally can sell boots. He usually sells for cosmic, but its preferred if you have ghost and/or 10 mejais stacks for more ms.
I miss spellbinder :( I remember a game where I had Rod of Ages, Deathcap, and 3 spellbinders on Vlad with like 20 kills in season 10. The active didnt stack but the 120 AP and 10% MS did. So much fun
@@Black-nf3tx I completely forgot you could stack the same item before the rework. Wish that was still a thing. Spellbinder Deathcap was my favorite period of playing vlad. So fun
@@meiti2000 So true. I only started playing him halfway though season 10, so I didn't play him a whole lot with the old items. One of my favorite things was to build multiple Rod of Ages since they would all still stack over time but the mana restore passive wouldn't stack. So the item would give you 100 AP and 500 Health with the 400 mana being useless, making you unkillable
13:40 not only does he drop the rock, but when you die you give bounty to the enemy, so its more like dropping the rock + laying on the top of it too while 4 ppl try to carry you
Im assuming the e max before ult max is due to the numbers: level 2 ult only gives an extra base 100 damage and heal while maxing your e gets you a 5cd base cd from 7cd(4 points in it) 15 more base damage and 5% more slow.
If anyone is looking to start vlad: Conq is not good for beginners. Go or flash ghost into ranged and electro flash ignite or aery ghost ignite into melee (preference) Build with phase rush or aery is NH > Dcap > Void > Shadowflame > Situational With elec is belt > cosmic > dcap/ void > dcap/void > situational Dont first time in ranked. Vlad isnt that hard but hes one of the hardest champs to get used to as his playstyle is wierd
Freezing a wave for a laner is not a high ELO only strat at this point. The knowledge base has grown so much I see people doing this in high gold and low plat ELO.
I hear E500 grew up playing ADC then one day when he woke up he randomly felt like playing mid. Vlad was on free rotation. All that cleanse on ADC made the Vlad W feel natural. And boom here we are today.
my boy never misses q, it's just so fun to watch how he is twice faster than everyone else while being untargetable and oneshoting everyone with instant cast "skillshots"
Well vlad is supposed to be a scaling champ, ur meant to lose if ur're letting him get solo kills and 10cs/min. Like nasus. And its also riots fault for continuously putting a champs power budget into items. Vlad is also plays like a lifesteal champion. Its feast or famine, either you outheal their damage and look broken, or you don't and just die.
Hey MidBeast, there was a video about this player recently, and one thing he mentioned himself (he was being interviewed) is that he will always get Mejais, every game, doesn't matter the game state. It's the dopamine chase and also if you stack it, it's game over.
And yes, he also maxes E before R for wave clear. He says himself that if you get even a few CS shoved in faster, you will win the game. It's all about CS and gold.
Hey midbeast! a couple of things i picked up from watching him that i saw you were curious about 1. the mejai's buy: synergizes really well with vlad wanting to stack ap and to never die so it's generally core, especially with how much experience he has on the champ. Keep in mind more ap = more healing on q so it's easier to stay alive. plus he likes it 2. e max over r max: ult levels only give 100 damage, while e max gives better waveclear, 2 secs flat cooldown less, the 15-60 per level ends up dealing about same damage during an ult (only considering single damage) and keep in mind the e gets boosted by the ult's extra 10%, and lastly it also increases the slow which is always nice 3. I'm pretty sure he never sells boots, the movement speed is just too good on vlad since without it he can't really do much otherwise (it's also why he pretty much always runs ghost, even over flash), plus the pen just adds so much damage, especially with night harvester, since he generally aims to deal as close to true damage with his build as possible
It actually is tech and it is on purpose. 2 points in r gives you like 100 more damage but maxing out E gives it much better cd and allows it to oneshot the backline wave
His point is that if one guy fks up, it makes it harder for the rest to carry that rock. They might still succeed, but the next rocks going to feel heavier. It's not about morality or ethics, its about abandoning a lost cause. You lift one less rock, but you stand to gain more.
The thing about upgrading r, if its on cd why bother, u can almost always gather xp as vlad, if you were to see that mby a fight breaks out u level the r, depends :D
conq tech for KR server to get best of scaling and also be able to fistfight korean mids that always ego battle early
oh hey daddy
Based
So real
it fascinated me that one tricks are so familiar with the limits that they think about the psychology instead of the actual champion.

The second point in R gives like 100 damage extra, while e gives you better cd better slow% as well as dmg, while being your primary clear ability
Yeah it makes absolute sense, that extra 100 dmg isnt really
Needed.
I thought more its because his R was on CD so leveling gives no dmg while he rushes to 12 with more dmg on his E during this time.

Masters Vlad main here. The most important reason to Level E is to be able to one shot the casters for your clears after getting your first item.

Finally the blood lord! Please do more Elite
just a side note elite has said that 99% of the time phase rush is the better option even if he went conq here

Spellbinder was the movement speed item
Before that there was Luden's Echo. Both items were good on Vlad. Generally either as first items or as last items after you sell boots.
15:50 .. that was longer than expected i thought he would mention beating dopa in first 3
elite is lowkey one of the best mechanically gifted players i have ever seen
yeah playing the most braindead mechanically unintensive champs in the game
@@TheShitbringer It's not that bad. Unlike garen or karthus at least a little thinking is involved. Very easy to throw.
How many players have you seen? Mechanically gifted on Vlad 😂😂😂
@@elijahhang9986 not many, but elite makes it look mechanical
10:23 that wasn't panic. He needs to ghost out because if liss is in ult range he dies.

midbeast surprised at mejais second, imagine if he sees elite rush mejais first item lmao
Elite is known for he's Mejais buys. He really likes that item.
It wouldn't be the same without Midbeast mentioning he beat Dopa
If anyone is looking to start vlad:
Conq is not good for beginners. Go or flash ghost into ranged and electro flash ignite or aery ghost ignite into melee (preference)
Build with phase rush or aery is NH > Dcap > Void > Shadowflame > Situational
With elec is belt > cosmic > dcap/ void > dcap/void > situational
Dont first time in ranked. Vlad isnt that hard but hes one of the hardest champs to get used to as his playstyle is wierd
Finally the BEST midlaner OCE highlights, BEST blood sucker EU, FCKIN love Calvin and Drew. keep on keepin on man love u. nxt BABUS video when ?
17:19 it was Spellbinder, literary the best first item on Vlad ever
Also, the thing he goes Mejai's with only 2 stacks, is because Vlad has kinda double value from Dark Seal/Mejai's - both extra AP and HP
I completely forgot about that item until you mentioned the name lol
15:42 the man beated dopa!! amazing
@Midbeast If you do another Elite500 video please make sure to cover his other build with the Night Harvster, that's the build he usually uses.
Freezing a wave for a laner is not a high ELO only strat at this point. The knowledge base has grown so much I see people doing this in high gold and low plat ELO.
I'm silver but I freeze alot so
Been waiting for this!
I don’t know if it’s Elite500 first time on this channel but I was really wondering when he was gonna be on it
Been waiting for an elite500 vod AND FINALLY IT'S HERE
Hilarious when Midbeast sees him but the Mejis, not knowing that Elite does this ALL the time
I hear E500 grew up playing ADC then one day when he woke up he randomly felt like playing mid.
Vlad was on free rotation.
All that cleanse on ADC made the Vlad W feel natural.
And boom here we are today.
His last hitting looks so clean
That rock analogy is a little hardcore “…the whole rock just kills them and crushes them…” 😂😂
IMO Elite is one of the best solo queue mid laners in the world.
my boy never misses q, it's just so fun to watch how he is twice faster than everyone else while being untargetable and oneshoting everyone with instant cast "skillshots"
hoes mad
cry

Level E before ult so you can oneshot caster minions at that level.
If you don`t the caster minions will always survive with like 5% hp

Dude also grinded up to GM twice since his first account got randomly banned
FINALLY A VIDEO ON ELITE500 THE LEGEND
could you review an ADCarry
As a vlad one trick, maxing the e early can makes you clearing the range minions with one charged E
Fun fact - max cs on line in 7min (without incoming cannon wave) is 69.
I like how Midbeast finds a way to squeeze in the fact that he once beat DOPA out of a 100 times he went against him
thank you for your daily upload, i can sleep now :)
finally video on elite500 :DD
Any beifeng reviews soon? That cn challenger channel uploads alot of games of him n they are pleasure to watch
midbeast talking like he is a good player and tutoring others amuses me
You don't necessarily have to be a good player to tutor others. Like the sensei in karate - he fights like shit, but still knows his shit.

Ty for covering the great lord Calvin!
Vladimir accidentaly levels E instead of R

It actually is tech and it is on purpose. 2 points in r gives you like 100 more damage but maxing out E gives it much better cd and allows it to oneshot the backline wave
13:50 Ok, so you are telling me that it's ok to just ditch you and leave you to get crushed by the rock?
His point is that if one guy fks up, it makes it harder for the rest to carry that rock. They might still succeed, but the next rocks going to feel heavier.
It's not about morality or ethics, its about abandoning a lost cause. You lift one less rock, but you stand to gain more.

Of course he gets chall this time, got banned at gm and hes back to gm already
finally midbeast daddy500 video
elite's commentary is, elite
Bro you set us up “look at the map right now what do you see is wrong” “he has not lvl his ult”
Anyone else notice the Lee Sin missing his q on the crab and disconnecting 😂
9:30 its the first thing he says in every of his videos, he ALWAYS goes mejais
Also see how he maxes E before R cause 100 dmg on ult is just bad
12:20 yes because if you look at the stats of the spells its just makes sense, like zoe R is totally useless to have 2nd point lvl 11
Been WAITING for an Elite500 review on this channel, thank you @Midbeast
I did not know Lissandra sounds like she’s throwing up every auto or spell holy shit I’m so glad I have my game muted😂😂
Vlad and Aatrox have both been monsters for a while given how useless anti heal is now days
Finally a video on this guy!
Finally hes getting recognized!!
Vlad is fun af to play and combos feel good
I was waiting for this day
Finally an elite reaction
I asked for an ELITE500 on your Elise video 8 days ago. THANK YOU DREW!
FINALLY a vlad commentary
finally some Vladimir in this channel
So u are showing me the same game i just watched on his channel ?
Why ?
has to review that game where he ran it down enemies fountain with their nexus open
HE DELIEVERED YES I LOVE MID BEANS
Finally a video on Elite the best player of all time
