Vel rework is GARBAGE. RIOT plz fix.

Honestly Vel'Koz needs a hotfix BAD. He is not a viable mage like he was prepatch. For all the kool-aide drinkers saying he was generally untouched, thats a crock of crap. The damage on his passive, w, and e are all down. To make matters worse the so called "buff" on his ultimate ONLY APPLIES IF U LAND 3 STACKS OF THE PASSIVE. It would be one thing if his ult applied passive stacks, but it doesnt even do that. SO now instead of being able to provide good aoe damage in team fights, you now need to land a E,W combo BEFORE the "buff" is applicable. In lane, the lack of damage from ur basic abilities and passive makes vel LACKLUSTER even if you land your E,W combo. And lets be honest RIOT, hitting a combo with vel is NOT EASY. So the fact that you blatantly reduced his damage on all his abilities but said "gee whiz, hes got a buff on his ult" is garbage. Its just a slight of hand nerf that people who have no clue how Vel actually works are blind to. Honestly, if you want to reward players for landing combos on him, INCREASE THE DAMAGE ON HIS PASSIVE, and HAVE HIS ULT APPLY PASSIVE STACKS ( without procing the passive damage ) UNTIL IT BECOMES RESEARCHED THEN APPLY TRUE DAMAGE. This will reward players who can land his wombo, and still give him good engage with his ult in team fights if for whatever reason he cant combo the entire team first ( which is impossible anyway ).

Also for reference, his passive only becomes viable with 100+ ability power. This means early game his damage output is VERY LOW compared to how he used to be. Vel is very squishy and has not so good early game lane sustain. Reducing his early game damage with the nerfs makes it much more difficult to poke.
