tank velkoz OP

maikokk·Oct 21, 2014·1 votes·951 views

velkoz has an alarmingly high base damage and 2 high power CC's, but notsogreat AP scaling. people are starting to catch on to the fact that building damage on velkoz is near futile. his power level doesnt go up much, he scales poorly into late game, and gets sniped easily with his lack of mobility.

the result? tank velkoz. i tried this out with some initial skepticism, but the results were just insane.

going 0/30/0 masteries with pen/armor runes and rushing warmogs.... i still put out more damage than everyone in the game

suggestions: lower base damage values and increase AP scaling

The main issue is that his passive isn't based on AP. That is where most of his damage comes from, and since it is true damage he doesn't even have to build mr pen, and since it deals a flat amount per level instead of a percent of AP, it is really the part that needs changes. His ult also needs to have something more like 700 base damage and 80% AP.

The idea of reducing base damage and ad AP scaling was actually on PBE. But riot wisely (imo) decided not to launch it to live.

Reason is that velkoz if played he is picked as support. Where he is higly dependable on his high base stats.

If your suggestion were to be made real Velkoz would not be played as support but also neither anywhere else. This change would erase even that little presence he has now.

I mostly just build cdr for the passive procs more often. After that I go Crystal scepter and liandrys for percentage damage and pen. Rest can be tanky.
