I have two problems with the new champ on pbe, Vel'koz. First, his ult is too overpowered imo. In combination with his passive, it can easily deal 1250 damage, almost without any ap. Secondly, his recommended items seem off to me. I have little mana problems with him early, and i dont need a chalice until later in the game. Just my two cents though. I would love it if someone would comment and tell me why they agree/disagree with me.
Twinperson3 votesI find that Vel'koz's ult is super powerful yes, but he can be cc'ed out of it rather easily. And yeah if you are the one being hit then the odds of you being able to run out of the ult before the user can turn the beam is fair in my opinion .-.
lTHlCharizard1 votesHis ultimate is strong coupled with his passive, but only really in conjunction with a slow or any other movement impairment. I've found mobile champions have an easy time dodging his ultimate. Very first game against a Vel'koz, every time he would skirmish with our Karma, he was able to use his shields' mobility to completely render his laser useless. The turn speed on his ultimate is abysmal.
The only thing off in his recommended build is chalice, his mana usage doesn't justify buying one. His abilities right now is a bit buggy, with comparison of his animations and hit radii of his Q. Seems to be inconsistent with his Q particles and when his Q actually hits he target(When it splits).
Tortferngatr1 votesGrail, however, provides CDR--a stat Vel'Koz seems to scale with quite better than he scales with raw AP ATM.
It also gives him freedom to spam abilities for tons of potential passive procs.
lTHlCharizard1 votesWell then you could replace boots with Ionian Boots of Lucidity and maybe a Merello's. His ability kit has quite the low amount of mana costs. Though he could arguably use Athenes well, I just seem to find it to quite the overkill.

The7thKing1 votesHOW DID YOU PLAY AS VELKOZ?! HES NOT EVEN OUT
MackleDoge2 votesPBE. It's a beta client for Riot to have members of the Community playtest and provide feedback as well as help locate and determine the cause of bugs. Recently they've been testing Hexakill and the new Team Builder match-making system on there. They also now have Vel'Koz on there for the community to play and test. If you're interested you can try looking up information about it on Surrender@20 and if you'd like to apply to be in the PBE then chose "Public Beta Environment" under the Community tab for the website.
The7thKing2 votesfor all the crap you give me, i actually appreciate this.
MackleDoge1 votesWe seem to disagree frequently, but that doesn't mean that I dislike you as a person. I'm always willing to help another member of the community, just sometimes the way you handle things rubs me the wrong way. I'll be the first to admit that I could probably handle it all better though, so if I've hurt your feelings or made you feel upset I do apologize. As someone who did debate in high school and gets pretty impassioned about certain topics and conversations, I can tend to be overzealous or a bit overbearing on certain things, so I hope you can understand that and understand that I don't mean it as a personal attack.
P.S. - For the record, I honestly don't know anything about your playing ability, so I shouldn't have called you a shit player. I think you can admit though that in a lot of circumstances on the forums, when people are just throwing around opinions without any numbers or explanation, it's often caused by them not really understanding the game or lacking a certain knowledge about mechanics for the situation or having enough experience with those sort of situations in game. Regardless, like I said, I don't have anything against you personally.
The7thKing2 votesfrenimes?
MackleDoge2 votesFrenimes. Works for me man.
The7thKing1 votesonly thing is, i REALLY need to find my email, i haven't used it in so long and i hate to have my PBE thing accepted and cant see the email
MackleDoge1 votesOuch, that is rough. You might be able to contact support and work something out where they can get you some information about the email?
The7thKing2 voteshow can i get support?
MackleDoge1 votesGo to the support link at the bottom of this page and follow the process. Or you can try googling the issue to see if anyone else has had the problem and how it worked out for them.
MasterofBalance1 votesI agree with the assessment of his ult, it has too much range, too much damage, it can be repositioned far too easily. one or two people have brought up the cc counter, but considering the fact that any self respecting vel'koz player will either A) focus the beam on you until you're dead or near dead or B) activate it from a distance that is entirely safe from cc, it's not much by way of fairness.
