Vel'Koz alone can cause a big meta-shift that some should love

Vel'Koz is transforming into the ultimate tank-killer mage. Thanks to his true damage, he will destroy tanks that primarily build tons of defense.

I remember a lot of people complaining about tank supports (especially Alistar) being too present. Vel'Koz will destroy Alistar through his ult, Braum through his shield and Leona through her defenses.

(I'm a tank support main myself, btw, but I like these Vel changes)

And for tanks that build health rather than defenses, we have Brand.

It's also very fitting for his character. He's supposed to be a very scary, War of the Worlds type of menace. And whats so scary about those is how unnatural they are, and how nothing, not even a military primed with armored tanks, can save you from their laser beams. And thats EXACTLY how his ULT feels.

In speaking of which, the movie remake of The War of the Worlds from 2005 was actually pretty good (especially in a big dark theater). If you like Vel'koz you should really watch it.
