How to Beat Aurora as Vladimir (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Vladimir deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Aurora deals primarily magic damage (88.49%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Aurora, ranking 26th (versus 42nd for Vladimir) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vladimir Mid versus Aurora Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Vladimir player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Aurora player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
