How to win lane as LeBlanc against Vladimir · 46.77% win rate (4,435 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
You were drafted to eat exactly this — W through the wave, double-proc the sigil, and return before his rotation loads.
Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Untargetable dodge — bait it before you spend your kill window.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
This is LeBlanc's own plan; across 4,435 pooled games the lane is leaning Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | Vlad's Crimson Pact hasn't scaled yet at levels 1-2, so your burst wins trades if you bait Sanguine Pool before all-inning |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His low early damage output still favors your combo through this window as long as the pool is on cooldown |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Distortion lets you re-engage after his pool, effectively negating his one escape if you bait it out first |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The same logic holds at levels 4-5 since your kill threshold still arrives before his sustain fully scales up |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | Your burst still kills him at level 6 if you land it before Hemoplague's amplification timer starts ticking |
| First item | LeBlanc | First item burst kills him before Crimson Pact bonus AP from health items makes his sustained damage scarier |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Once Crimson Pact scaling and Hemoplague team execute threat come online, his sustain starts beating your single burst window |
You win the 1-2 trade since Vlad's Crimson Pact scaling hasn't kicked in yet and his only real defensive tool, Sanguine Pool, has a real cooldown you can bait out with your W clone before committing E-Q. His damage output early is low relative to yours, so most exchanges before level 3 favor a well-timed all-in if you force the pool first.
