Riot stated that the reason he's being reworked is because he doesn't feel how they want him to feel (gameplay wise) - not because he's underpowered or underwhelming.

every vel'koz player said no, said that the champ already feels good, have you already used vel's ulti? his ulti is a true lazer, does a lot of damage and with the passive you disintegrate your targets. literally every spells of his kit are good with strong strength.

but riot is like "trust us guys, this is right" like when skarner was reworked and people said that he doesn't need a rework

Not that I agree or disagree- I was just posting riots reasoning.

I'd also like to mention not to confuse the champ feeling good or "smooth" with what riot was referring to. His "playstyle" isn't what they have intended for him.

This has nothing to do with balance or how well his kit functions currently.

Its OK. Just embrace the rework.

Mordekaiser It couldn't be worse right? Right?

They want to change him because there is no reason to play him over other champions. He just has four different ways of dealing damage, and only one of those ways are super innovative (Q). The rest are very simple.

It's impossible for Vel'Koz not to be healthy because all he is is dodgeable damage.

Vel'Koz has almost no chance to get changed. At least, I'd say. No reason to.

It seems your guys' expectations on how much we'll warp some of these champions just because they're in "the 6" is quite large and drastic. Guess it's understandable given some of our track record. It's important to consider that our changes have ranged from as small as Darius and Miss Fortune to as large as Mordekaiser and Graves.

Our current plans for Vel'Koz might literally be the smallest scope changes we've ever done in a class update. In fact, I could understand how some people may not even really perceive it as a significant update and more of a "patch note."

Either way, your downvotes are loud and clear. You don't really want Vel'Koz to change much. We don't really plan on moving Vel'Koz's core at all - just want to amplify what's already there.
