Why not take some advice from SP4ZIE? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIx6jBpH1HY

Lol, I just told the OP to check out this video without even seeing it in the thread already XD

I was like the second comment here too. Not sure why they didn't try to check it out.

It just makes it easier to find now. [slayer-jinx-wink]

If you don't use his ult properly or consistently land combos, he should be.

Even consistently landing combos I feel like he's lacking, his ult seems to have little impact early to midgame, especially considering it used to proc his true dmg 2x as long as you landed one spell prior. He can't build magic pen because of the power they put into his new AP ratios on passive and ult. I like him, I'll still continue to play him as much as I have but I know putting the same effort to any number of mages would yield more results, which saddens me.

Try maxing W first.

I was trying a Q max but W still might be better even though they tried nerfing the waveclear.

Max Q now. W max was better before the update, but with the changes and Q mana refund, Q max is better. Watch Sp4zie's Vel'Koz guide he just released, gives some good info

his early game is weaker due to base dmg nerfs, but once u get max cdr and some ap u start destroying people without even using ur ult due to passive having a scaling now.

his early game is weaker due to base dmg nerfs

His passive lost 2 points of damage per level. That's the only form of "base damage" that got nerfed on him that I'm aware of.

His W and E lost a bit of their AP ratios, but that's not base damage. Plus his passive picked up the slack anyway, since EW is basically a guaranteed passive proc anyway if you land E.
