I have been playing for a few months and have found a liking for Vel'Koz
. I have been doing solidly(at least I haven't been feeding), but I feel more like I'm supporting, rather than being an AP carry, as I usually play mid. I would gladly appreciate some tips and tricks for playing him(I've taken Trigonometry so I knnow how to land his Q). Thanks for any help!
Handy Sandy 2 votesI played Vel'koz, I stopped cause even if you go like 9/1 it still feels like you're doing nothing lol
If you can keep landing his Q that does 50% of someone's health mid/lategame then you're good to go.
LadyRenly2 votesif you can hit the q, max that first and become a god
Very Hard Engage2 votesW + W clears a wave after morello. (dont do this)
W the wave, E the casters and Q the front three will also get the job done. (preferred, saves a W charge)
lead with your E when attempting to kill someone, i know its risky but you need to make the decision right from the start whether or not you are capable of killing the enemy. you have 4 damaging abilities, most mages only have 3. E -> W -> Q -> R (and chase with R) is more than enough damage to kill any squishy at every stage of the game assuming you're full AP.
learn to aim Q, you either get this one or you dont, i happen to be great at math so this ability just clicks with me.
max W first, its better wave management. Q is decent for support vel for single target and to not shove your wave like a monkey support >.>
dont be afraid to just throw your Q out or stop it early in an awkward way, they might run into it trying to juke it.
your full R deals a solid 700 damage to enemies (after passive), thats a lot of the mid laners health, you can use it as a stand alone ability if their flash is down.

I am also good at math, and I love getting clutch pokes(or killing an enemy I can't see). Also, I run full AP.
Murl0ugh1 votesI main Vel mid when I'm not wolfing up the jungle.
Everything thats already been said here is valid (although not sure how math applies to landing q...learning the angle and timing doesn't have anything to do with math does it....w/e works for you i guess...)
I usually use E>Q>W combo then ult if able.
I'm considering trying to use Q to slow THEN stun with E but haven't really tried it yet.
Otherwise remember to respect your opposing champions at all times. An overextension is death.
Also get some movement speed runes when/if you can. Makes life a little easier.
Redhood Mon1 voteswhen you have enough AP, you may kill squishy with just Q+R.
not throw your Q directly but at 45 degree to maximize it range, and then R immediately. They will got slow from your R and hardly dodge your Q.
ModKnightsKemplar1 votesGet max cdr as quickly as possible. yeah, AP helps, but proccing passive is arguably more important than getting lots of ap.
