(Invasion: Onslaught ) Am I the only one who finds the Vel'koz too much?

Or at least the one where you need to keep in the circle and move while they shoot at you? Even when you dodge the shots you just get pulled into them by Skarner then Chogath just knocks you up while they hammer down on you. Game after game, everyone keeps wiping on due to the overwhelming numbers of Velkoz. Has anybody figured out how to best complete this? Any Tips?

Our team used a poppy to tank the shots. They have no pen so poppy can kinda laugh at them. I'd also recommend most scaling runes, since you start at lvl 8. for reference, MR and Armor per level goes even at lvl 6 and afterwards just increase in power. does wonders.

Alternatively channel your inner Faker and sidestep like a god.

It's basically impossible, my team only got through it by flashing or spirit rushing to the end. Then most often you get the Velkoz kill the enemies level or the Chogath/Kogmaw level next (or first if your stupid unlucky).

I've seen less difficult WOW raid bosses (at least in those you get 25 people to help complete it, not 5). Then to top it off the missions require you to WIN 5 hard mode games with a 5-man premade, yeah, 3 hours in and I'm already totally fucking done with this event. It's a sad reality to live up to the hype of watching it go through PBE for 2 weeks and then OMG, it's coming out on 7.17, only wait, not until 2 weeks after the patch hits, almost here, almost here.... Oh god this sucks.

No tips,certain levels are only designed so you cannot win 100%,uits luck of the draw.

Poppy can tank some bullets (she can tank the last boss bullets for her team too).

Soraka + redemption can help a lot too here, heal people until you're low enough to refill your hp with redemp, then once again with your ult.

Be sure to destroy all the velkoz at the begining, else it's nightmarish.

Soraka Poppy Jinx Ahri Lulu

If you're just looking to beat Onslaught, the team comp above makes it pretty easy. I haven't managed to do it without a Poppy and Raka in the group though.

A bit harder, but a good MF can replace Jinx, and still have a fairly easy time. Also Ahri can be replaced by Syndra and still not have to rough a go of it.

The heals and tankiness from poppy and raka are really what make it easy. As well, charming or stunning the large vel'koz helps a lot. Almost beat it with Janna, but couldn't beat the final boss. Although, that was more an issue of our team not using obstacles well enough.

Overall it seems to really come down to people being able to play the given champ at a semi decent level. Sometimes you'll get a few people that don't have a clue how to use their champs and it just doesn't work out.

Really do enjoy this game mode though, reminds me a bit of WoW!

Edit: On the Vel Koz level, raka heal poppy and stand behind poppy while lulu shields. You'll have to move with her, but she can soak most of the damage. Once you get near the end flash out of the circle and end it. Main priority here is to keep Poppy and Raka alive.

dodging helps, or have a janna maxing E and absorb 1 shot with the shield every volley so it's easier for the members behind you to dodge the other 2, this has never been a problem so far so not sure what other advice to give really

I know as Poppy I was body-blocking shots on normal mode, dunno if that's viable in onslaught.

Jinx is like a must I find. She is the only one capable of dealing with those guys fast enough from far away.
