An idea for Vel'Koz changes that would improve his Uniqueness and Cohesiveness w/o touching his kit

  1. Make the third stack of Organic Deconstruction reveal for a short duration. Vel'Koz learns his enemy's movements; he should know where his enemies go.
  2. Give Vel'Koz's Trinket options (and vision options on other maps) special properties, like "Vel'Koz's equivalent of item 3364, item 3187 /item 3185 , and item 3348 reveal units in a cone in front of him, of length equal to his ult range, instead of their usual effect." This gives him both a powerful, flavorful form of utility (strong vision/detection) and a useful tool that synergizes with his ult.

Thoughts?

I suggested something similar for the shen rework, his spirit blade used to give vision where it was sitting... now it no longer does...

I feel like the trinkets will be buggy (pretty much what happened to Rengar's bonetooth necklace).

That said, I feel like the vision part is kinda limited in its use to chasing enemy into bush/over walls. In a usual teamfight, pretty much all the participants will be visible to both teams. You can already check bushes with Q, right?

I LOVE IT. Chances of it happening? Kinda low, but I think you're on the right track, for sure. I love the way it ties into his theme, and love that his kit doesn't change. It gives you a reason to pick Vel, and it's great. Good job.
