Vladimir vs Zac Matchup Summary

The Vladimir vs Zac matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Zac's 50.0%, giving Vladimir a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Vladimir holds a slight edge in both the early and late game, but the margins are thin enough that individual skill and jungle attention will often determine the outcome.

Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

5.8Zac
Vladimir significantly out-farms Zac by 1.1 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 16 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
1,246Vladimir
679Zac

11,032Zac
Vladimir generates a commanding 2,142 more gold per game than Zac. This substantial economic advantage means Vladimir consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.2Vladimir
1.3Zac
Zac brings significantly more crowd control than Vladimir, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zac far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Vladimir should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
2,240Vladimir
3,406Zac
Zac vastly out-sustains Vladimir, healing and mitigating 1,166 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vladimir is forced to recall.
