if you guys REALLY must tweak vel'koz to be more unique

could you just do like a brand blaze kinda thing

have special effects with Velkoz's passive depending on which ability triggers the 3rd stack of his passive

like if a enemy with 2 stacks is hit by a unsplit Q, it splits into 4 rather then 2 if hit by a split Q at 2 stacks the slow duration is doubled

if hit by the fist wave at 2 stacks of the W the magic resist of the target is lowered by a bit if hit by the "burst" of the W wave at 2 stacks... eeeh, i don't have a good idea for this... someone a malz voidling maybe?

if hit by E at 2 stacks knocks them farther away if close to vel'koz

just a idea that would keep vel'koz unmolested(how ironic) for the most part

His abilities are, overall, unique. His Q is cool, his E is cool, his MASSIVE FUCKING LASER is cool, he has a three stack passive - but it feels different. He is unique.

What Riot wants is to add some strategic uniqueness. What team comp can Vel'Koz fit into that other long range poke mages wouldn't work so well in?

WARNING: I do not play Vel'Koz. However, looking at his kit, he seems to be better at kiting than similar mages. My guess would be amping up the kiting (perhaps changing W a little bit? A slow, maybe?) and decreasing his non-ultimate burst (base damage nerfs), perhaps increasing the passives damage or duration to keep his overall damage the same over time. NOTE: That was not a suggestion. It was a guess as to what might happen given Riot's stated goals and Vel's current kit.
