They have said in the past replays and spectator mode were planned. I may be wrong but I believe it was actually one of the things they planned for Season 1 release that never made it in.
Quick question on Vladimir. What should the item build order be for him? I've been having limited success with grabbing Boots 1 + Potions with my initial gold, and then going back once I can afford a Spirit Visage.
So this is what my build order has been looking like:
1) Boots 1 + Potions
2) Spirit Visage
3) Boots 2
4) Sunfire Cape if Im doing super well and getting fed, Rylai's Crystal Scepter if not
5) Build the other one
Is this correct? Most guides I've read recommend straight AP, but I think that makes Vlad way too squishy. I'm kind of at a loss here..some games I'll do AMAZING, other games I'll just get steamrolled.

Well my build order is:
Dorans Shield + Potion (helps you stay in line longer)
Spirit Visage + Boots 1
If I am doing well:
Boots either Swiftness or Merc Treads or Sorcerer
Leviathan and Mejais
Rylais
Zhonyas
Warmog

Well, mostly.
Start: Doran's Shield + HP Pot
Then, Vlad has like 10 good items, and the key is getting them in the correct situations / orders
Merc Treads: Always and early
Rylai's: Always and early / mid
Heart of Gold: Right after boots 1, or after Rylais, depending on phys damage in lane
Spirit Visage: if magic damage in lane.
Sunfire Cape: After Rylai's and always
Abyssal Scepter: Vs. magic damage, usually fairly late, buy the MR first
Zhonya's: If you feel confident in your defense, grab this for fun.
An applied example: I was 1v2 against Mord and Vlad, and I managed to kill them with like 20 HP left. I go back and have 1350 gold or so. I immediately buy Merc Treads, as I needed MR and the boots 2 will help me continue to fuck them. Shortly after, I get to about 70% HP and act like I am scared of them, they rush me, I double kill them. I bought a Spirit Visage next since they didn't do a lane swap. The end result was, me having 20+ kills by the time we won.

Gangplank v. Vlad?
Okay I'll deny every single creep you want to last hit with your Q and be two/three levels up on you
Okay I'll deny every single creep you want to last hit with your Q and be two/three levels up on you
If only that's how the game actually worked..
Seriously. What game is Zen playing, cuz I want it.
Gangplank's ability Raise Morale: (Passive): Gangplank's damage and movement speed are increased.
(Active): Gangplank kills an allied minion, inspiring himself and nearby champions to receive Raise Morale's passive benefits for 10 seconds. This will give him double the effect for the duration.
@Valiantine: I doubt it, a lot of the time people in here have no clue about some of the champions abilities.

Oh I know all about that ability. However, it does almost nothing to neuter Vladimir. Oh look, you stole a minion from me. I'll just use my Q on the next minion. And the next. And the next. Because my Q has a 5-10 second cooldown.
Let's also not forget about the mana issues a gangplank that constantly uses Raise Morale would be having. Also, if he doesn't keep mana open for his pistol shot, he's going to get harassed out of the lane and lose exp and gold because Vlad will just switch his Q over to Gangplank.
This is all assuming you're not trolling. If you're trolling, by all means continue.

That's not how denyplank works guys.
You don't get XP for the minions he raise morales. He starts waiting at the nexus and at a minimum denies 2 minions per wave. He is pretty seriously tedious.
Gangplank's denying ability hurts Vlad because he can't last hit for shit with his Q and E ability early and mid game.
What? I consider Vlad one of the best farmers in the game. His auto attack animations are excellent, his Q is excellent, and E is excellent, even from rank 1.

8. Morgana is great vs. Vlad. Her Dark Shield absorbs his damage handily and it bugs out his ult, preventing it entirely while costing no durability, her ultimate stuns him in pool form, etc. She's just damn good vs. Vlad.
I will have to dispute this point, sir, coming from the other side of the matchup. Black Shield's cooldown is twice as long as Transfusion and actually costs mana (and is much much much harder to the timing down right, given if you shield too early he can just wait, and there's practically no animation time for Transfusion). Vlad can pool on reaction to Dark Binding, meaning you're really not going to catch him in Tormented Soil in order to damage him enough to make it worthwhile. His spells all still hurt, so you need to heal off something, meaning you push the lane, meaning Vlad sits inside your creeps and zones you out. Hell, even his attack range is better.
I hate him so much. So goddamn much. I can somewhat keep him at bay as Morg if I use alot of Black Shield and spam spells alot more, but eventually (read: not that long) I run out of mana and oh look he still has full health and doesn't care ffffffffff

Is the stuff that they did for WCG commentary ever going to find it's way into the game in some form?
I did not realize pubbies would expect me to throw my body at the enemy even if it meant certain death for just me and no one else.
Because I have no mana and almost no health left after fighting four champs at once while you guys did fuck knows what with minions ten feet away.
Yeah that too
It's just the usual blame game.
So this is what my build order has been looking like:
1) Boots 1 + Potions
2) Spirit Visage
3) Boots 2
4) Sunfire Cape if Im doing super well and getting fed, Rylai's Crystal Scepter if not
5) Build the other one

Any cool dreams last night?
Welcome to LoL Quiddy
I thought people were being trolls but it seems since his AP ratios are supposedly bad that going sunfire/spirit visage is gewd?

Gangplank can kill minions on his own side. So it's actually a viable tactic and one that is used quite often.

So easy.
as the 1
"oh look you can't ignore my creeps and let them push because I kill my own shit for you"
makes me want to do this
lets get 5 men later today and do this ok?
(also with mana seals I get all my mana back before the next raise morale is ready)
I hate him so much. So goddamn much. I can somewhat keep him at bay as Morg if I use alot of Black Shield and spam spells alot more, but eventually (read: not that long) I run out of mana and oh look he still has full health and doesn't care ffffffffff
It is great and I have seen it from the other side of the matchup. There's really nothing you can do about it.
B-b-b-but Gangplank has no hard CC. After the laning phase, you're useless and gimmicky.D:
He'll deny
