Revolver Vlad is really difficult to deal with, early game.
I laned during one during a game earlier as Trist, and I completely outplayed him - I kept shooting him, then backing out of his range before he was able to Q me and I kept applying the DoT from E to lower his healing. I never killed him, but I sent him back several times.
Then he got a Revolver and his Q was able to outheal the damage my E dealt, even with the healing reduction applied. =\ It was ridiculous.
I was able to change my strategy to deal with him a little better (rushed Phage and kited him like a boss) but I found it silly that a 1200 gold item turned things around that easily.
