Academy Vladimir

NOTICE FROM THE DEAN: Vladimir is henceforth suspended from Academy grounds for behavior including (but not limited to) extreme snobbery, hiring other students to finish his exams and attend his classes, and putting an unnecessary strain on our janitorial department after “that” incident.

About Academy Vladimir

Academy Vladimir is a League of Legends skin that portrays the crimson mage as a suave academy student, dressed in a school blazer, collared shirt, red tie, and wielding books instead of his usual gothic flair.

  • Vladimir’s model features a tailored academy uniform, red tie, and school-themed props like books and potion bottles.
  • Academy Vladimir is a Regular-tier skin, costing 750 RP, released in August 2015.
  • Visual upgrades are limited to new model, idle book reading, and minimal school-themed spell tweaks.
  • The skin belongs to the Academy alternate universe, with no connection to Vladimir’s base lore.
  • It is moderately popular with Vladimir mains and fans of the playful school theme.
  • Features include thematic splash art, book animations, and academic color motifs.
  • Fans enjoy the academic reimagining, though some wish for bolder VFX and modernized animation updates.
  • Noteworthy gameplay effects are rare, with only subtle nods like book-casting spells and revised model details.
