"Vel' Koz" the Last Great Design From Riot Games

You ask why I think he is a great design. Well I will not make it too long so here it goes.

The Pythagorean Theorem is op dude. Velkoz as a professor of Disintegration: A (squared) + B (squared) = Q goes longer distance.

The simplicity, effectiveness, counterability, and balancing of his kit was truly a masterpiece. His Thematic/art are also very in line with his gameplay and abilities. He is all about ripping and disintegration while occasionally using your math skills. I love that. His R is easily countered if played against properly and the dmg it does is high because of that along with the rest of his skill shots like Q, W, and E. He has only one hard cc thats on a reasonably high cd. The W and Q are really fun to use and easy dodge if you are good enough. The passive is really easy to balance since it is true dmg based off the third ability proc. The more I talk about this champion the more I love who made him. He was the last shinning example of the perfect new champion that could be balanced if need be. He might be strong rn but trust me his kit is designed well to where the changes will be healthy and respected.
Make more champions like Vel. Easy to learn and fun to play while also making him fun to play against. Its hard Riot I know but trust me, whatever you did to come up with Vel just do it for all the rest please.

I also love screaming geometry as I get kills with Q. Math is fun guys. You should know that his Q is longer range when put at a 45 degree angle from the enemy champ.

i do agree, but i think warwick rework was the best thing riot has ever done, he was ehh before rework, then he got rework and was fun and unique, and not broken, vel is fun and cool and fair, but wait they gunna give him 6 dashes xD

the last champ that was "great" really depends on what you mean by that

lore wise there are many many champions of the last 10 or so that are very deep and add a lot to the runeterra story

gameplay? yuumi is interesting, pyke was prety fun, kaisa, zoe, xayah and rakkan... they are all really nice and frankly have features that on paper set them into their own little space. (this is purely just looking at how their abilities work in terms of release mechanics and not ratios and number or like in rakans case he cant e r flash q anymore and that used to be hella fun)

and you say "balancing" as one of your reasons but i personally think no champion is ever truly balanced... they can do what they like with them but with runes/masteries and items its nearly impossible to balance anything with anything especially how riot does it

Every champion you have named has been plaguing the game since their release. So on the contrary they are just bad designs with overloaded kits. That is not even close to qualifying as great.

I know right? Vel is my fave champion. Spammed nearly 400 ranked games with him last couple of months
