Is it just me or does velkoz feel oppressive in lane now?

His abilities can be spammed like crazy and when he has lost chapter he can spam them with no mana issues. You cannot stay in lane if you have below 300 health because his ult will kill you. He feels frustrating to play against and his ult is a ticking timebomb.

Uhm, what? His R is much weaker for punishing overextending now than it was before. You don't counter VK by standing far away, you counter him by being close to his squidface. Also, build HP instead of MR, or even better MS, he has 4 skillshots afterall. And call your jungler, he's extremely exposed and weak to flanks

I am currently playing Vel'koz and it feels ridiculously powerful

Verdade1 votes

He's still weaker than before :) He has extremely glaring weaknesses and hes unforgiving to compensate his power

thats why he an deal insane true damage and higher AP scalings on his ult

Verdade1 votes

Seriously, you have no idea. I wish you could play VK before rework, he was much more dangerous

Marshbouy1 votes

I played him before and after and he feels better post rework.

Verdade1 votes

Except his R is much weaker as a single ability

Marshbouy1 votes

That is completely incorrect. It has a better scaling (im 90% sure) and now can deal true damage if you sit in it long enough.

and this is what casuals don't understand. Numbers don't tell you the whole story.

His R was much stronger before because it made his damage so front loaded.

Also they removed his unique MRpen build which had ununsual early powerspikes

ITS NOT ALL ABOUT THE TRUE DAMAGE. THE FRONT LOADED DAMAGE FROM THE GODDAM INCREASED SCALING CLEARLY MEANS IT DEALS MORE DAMAGE. THE TRUE DAMAGE BONUS SKYROCKETS THE DAMAGE INTO STUPID LEVELS

After the recent change in 6.11, it's stronger now.

I love how they are just ignoring the increased scaling

I played VELKOZ prerework and he's stronger after the rework.

hes dealing incredible damage and it practically impossible to out 1v1 him if you aren't an ADC or assassin

Verdade1 votes

What? VK is killable 1v1 by anything with half of a brain. He won't kill you if you don't play too risky or overextend.

stop kidding yourself. I was able to one shot people if they walked into my E on accident.

Ahri can instagib people who wander into her E. Same with Brand, Vikyor, and basically every burst mage Also E is extremely obvious and easy to dodge. Complaining abou it os like complaining about Cait killing you when you keep running into her traps

But he can do that to tanks with his true damage

I see that you're using buzzwords like oppressive. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Verdade1 votes

it means "i got stomped by VK"

Marshbouy1 votes

It means that i could not farm even as a ranged. He was zoning me off the creeps and forcing me out of and away from the lane.

MrPharmD1 votes

4 out of 4 of his abilities are skill shots, one of which is blocked by minions. If you were being zoned, it's probably because you couldn't dodge his skill shots.

Marshbouy1 votes

Are you assuming he can't predict my movements? That doesn't make his true damage fine. I've played vel'koz and if you can land an E from sheer luck you kill them. If they get stuck in minions, you kill them. If you can land your Q, the slow will most likely result in their death

I mean, I looked like through the past month and you have one Vel game...in which you only went 3-2. Much kills.

Marshbouy1 votes

That was because i faced an ekko in lane and every time almost instagibbed him he would ult.
