He just feels different now and not in a good way, he doesn't feel like he does damage unless he hits his passive.

Thats the point, so hit the passive. :3

Then you really couldn't play Vel'Koz before then. There is hardly a difference on how you play him now.

If you want some tips, go check out the Vel'Koz guide Sp4zie just released

I am enjoying the new VELKOZ. Just take some times. It's been less than a week since the rework.

Am I missing something about Vel'Koz's update?

His W and E lost a bit of their AP ratios, but in return his passive gained a 40% one (and that's true damage).

His ult no longer applies stacks of his passive, but its base damage went up slightly at ranks 2 and 3 and the total AP ratio increased by 40%. His ult ticks 10 times, so each tick went from 6% AP to 10% AP. That said, it was easy to get a passive proc off with it before, so I guess you could say the ult lost a passive proc's worth of true damage (potentially two procs, but I'm not sure how often that actually happened considering they had to eat the entire laser, or at least most of it, for that to happen). In exchange, though, the entire thing can now deal true damage if you set it up beforehand.

I don't know, on paper it doesn't seem as life-ending as people make it sound. I'm no expert, though.
