Velkoz Insane Damage
After patch 6.9, feels like Velkoz is so damn op. Insane buff?
From an unknown champion to seeing him on the rift everyday

His single target damage got jacked through the roof. For more information, you can consult some of the graphs I did in this thread: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/L2hFPrjW-velkozs-rework-makes-him-highly-dependent-on-landing-e
Toward the end there is a contour plot showing how much damage a full combo from the new Vel'Koz does based on Vel's AP and the target's MR. He can hit almost 4k on champs with lots of MR with fairly pedestrian AP values late game.
His early game, multi-target damage, and reliability suffered significantly and his decision points for itemization and teamfighting feel remarkable worse.

THe patch is an actual nerf to hi overall laning and teamfight damage potential.
He always had insane damage
Basically the theme of this patch is mages have to combo there abilities now, but get huge benefits when they doa
you guys should probably read the first comments post.
vel koz is great at dealing damage that is true, but he is also really good at taking damage too and becoming dead
