Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Lucian's 20.0%, giving Vladimir a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Vladimir dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Lucian players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

1,012Lucian
