Video was briefly on a Chinese LoL website before getting taken down. Someone managed to get a YouTube mirror before it disappeared, and the channel it was originally on was supposedly an official Riot channel.
Confirmed. The official YouTube channel uploaded it.

Issue with it that I see is that on vlad you want to build ap (duh). Even if you dislike wota personally, lets call that an item for him. Zonya's is valuable. Rylais does everything you want. I think at some point in the game those items are going to appear in your inventory. Guise is fine, pen multplies with that, gives other stuff you need. Liandry's though, dumps 1000+ gold into a passive that doesn't scale off your other ap items at all.
Wouldn't you simply get more bang for your buck with a hat at that point?

I usually go hextech/zhonya/visage/liandrys on vlad? I find liandry's helps cut through tanks and whatnot incredibly well

it's more that guise is incredible for vlad and having liandry's be more viable means that you're less likely to need to sell it / have that option for tankbusters.
I don't think liandry's is core for Vlad or anything, it's just that Guise is grotesque for him and Liandry's buffs give him more options. I think Vlad has some of the most varied buildpaths of any AP champ and this just takes a lot of his midgame dominance paths and makes them scale better into late, because it lets you shove more AP into your Guise slot without forcing you to take the hit selling Guise

I just think that hit might be smaller than the hit you take when actually completing liandry's.

Tamm, the River King, the new champion.
I think he's a support.

I went 2-3 then 2-3, then 3-2 to get in plat.
It was an arduous process.

re: vlad build
like, say you have rylais already when you complete it, you get 9% enemy hp damage on your damaging skills. Say your average enemy at that point has 2500 hp, that gives ~1250 current hp give or take on average. So that's 112.5 damage you get out of that if you don't stack your abilites (and lets be fair, you will q stuff you've e'd within 3 secs). For that damage you need 250 hp to get it off tides (less off transfusion). So slot effiency for hat is already achieved at 300 ap. That's runes, masteries, wota, zonyas, rylays and you are already there, and that's with calculating everything in favor of liandry's so far. Still, that's a break even.
Say you get to 6th item with that build (so add a void staff, another 80 AP, I think that puts you past 400 ap already, given the percentage ap mastery you take, I think. And there you have to chose between building out your guise or selling it for a hat. The AP hat passive gives you out of the void staff is worth 650, that's more than the 440 that it would cost you to sell guise at that point. So at that point on top of simply getting a lot more damage out of your slots (since you are now over 100 past the break even), you are also winning out in gold, if you still care about it at that point.
Meh. My mind automatically thought of something more along the lines of:
Audrey II from
Little Shop of Horrors
+ Tia Dalma from
Pirates of the Caribbean
I immediately thought of this guy

He might be a jungler actually.
I doubt mid because Ekko was a midlaner.
And he doesn't look like an adc.

Didn't it say somewhere that he would have additional powers in the river?
