Tips Against Vel'Koz in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“All his abilities are skillshots, making him really weak against mobile champions like Yasuo. You can use windwall to block Q,W and E but NOTnot the ultimate. If he makes the mistake of walking too far up, dash onto him and play as aggro as possible because you have the advantage in a minion wave. In the later stages of the game you should pressure in the sidelane because he won't be able to match you/run away. ”
“Understand that he has highly potent waveclear and poke, so don't waste your mana trying to poke him in lane. Focus on waveclear and let him push, so that your jungler can gank. Use TS+GLP to setup Q+W+Q stuns on him from afar, so that he can't combo you down and has to focus on running away. Be smart about which angle you engage on him, as running together in a straight line with your teammates means he can hit you all with his ult simultaneously. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
“You can engage on him as soon as his Q slow is down. You have to learn to dodge the angle of his Q as the particles split. If you manage to stun him with E+Q+W+Q, your ADC can followup and burst him down. Use TS+GLP to setup Q+W+Q stuns on him from afar, so that he can't combo you down and has to focus on running away. Be smart about which angle you engage on him, as running together in a straight line with your teammates means he can hit you all with his ult simultaneously. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
“Max range Q/R, we're dead. Never in range to stun lock him, just boring match up and more of a team fight dependent match up.
Super boring. ”
“You won't be able to get close to him and when he knocks you up you're gonna have to burn a flash or you're dead. However, that's all he is; annoying with a lot of damage.”
“Matchup very similar to Xerath. The difference between those 2 is the fact that vel'koz has MORE kill potential in lane because he falls off as the game progresses. You have to focus on dodging his E(a displacement ability) that can hold you in place for him to land his entire combo, and his Q(his poke ability with a slow). If you get hit by any of those, he can burst you down with his ultimate. I suggest rushing tier 2 boots ASAP (usually right after lost chapter is completed). His Q can be body blocked, so stay in the minion wave to dodge it easily. Even though he has the range advantage, you outscale him hard, so you don't have to force anything in the laning phase. Glacial Augment vel'koz is also really popular atm. Phase Rush is a good counter to the slows (from his abilities and items)”
“Corrupting Potion because Intensive Poke and sustain is heavily needed. Biscuits MIGHT work too but I'd rather have Minion Dematerializer.
Ring + 2 Pots also work because you will be able to kill him pre 6 as he actually needs to get a bit close to minions to last hit. It is a very easy matchup because his E is predictable and post 6 you can just keep your W for his R. Get boots if you cannot dodge his E. If you still cannot dodge his E roam, he can push as good as you if not better but he cannot roam and his follow(s) will be slow. Be careful of him when he follows because of his ult. In teamfights you can disrupt as well his ult with your W. Usually winnable matchup due to his inability to deal consistent damage pre 6 when you get too close. Learn his Q pattern in the first levels and you should be fine, hitting Vel'Koz Q's consistently is extremely difficult and you can predict it without fuss if you focus a bit. ”
“I poke him with E without going for passive procs after level 3, as he'll deal more damage with his combo, even through my W. He can constantly push me in and poke under tower with Q while I'm forced to use all my mana to CS. The best advice I have for this match-up is "just dodge and CS enough to stay relevant". I'll build Zhonya's for his R and if I feel like I'm having a really rough time, I'll get Mercury's Treads.”
“Vel'koz is a strong champion into Orianna with high damage and long range skillshots. Keep in mind when he throws out his Q, that he can cancel it early if you dodge towards him. You can win trades only if you dodge his abilities while landing yours. Any time he lands an E, you will more than likely lose the trade pre-6 or die post 6 so stay out of range. Your ult can be used to cancel his if you are quick which may save your team in a lategame fight. Other than that, do your best to shield your allies and peel in team fights while damaging to be more useful than he is.
Recommend: Barrier and Vs. AP Assassin Build”
“You need to dodge as much as you can, he is very squishy which means you can kill him very easily , when you are near him and he ults , ult and go kill him , when away run with your w don't run when you are fed , just 1shot him”
“His passive deals true damage and can easily delete you, build tanky items like Protobelt, Liandry's Torment and such. He has far more range than you. Doding his Q and E is mediocrely easy however.”
“Skill Match-Up. He has superior range, but if you can dodge his E and time your combo correctly, you can disrupt his ulti mid-channel and burst him down.”
“He out-ranges you a LOT and hits hard. Take Movement Speed Quints for this game and try to not get hit by his combo's. This is a difficult lane but if you manage to get up to him while he is ulting, you can stun him which will interrupt it. This lane is really going to rely on how decent you are at avoiding his skill shots and knock up. ROA or another HP item will be of great use here since he deals a fair chunk of true damage.”
“Well... This comes down to dodging his stuff. Just keep in mind, that you are playing a dodge game and that he is extremely easy kill with your jungler after 6. You can also cancel his R. Usually this just becomes a waveclear lane and is decided in the eamfight stage. ”
“Start Corrupting Potion and spam push early. Vel'koz is difficult to approach due to his Q slow so dodge it while farming. Killable at level 6. ”
“whenever he uses his R, dont be afraid to R and cancel his. dodge his skillshots and finish him. He's squishy and weak, it should be free. ”
“He out-ranges you a LOT and hits hard. Try to not get hit by his combo's. This is a difficult lane pre 6 but if you don't eat up his combo's all the time you will put yourself in a great position to punish him once you have your ultimate. This lane is really going to rely on how decent you are at avoiding his skill shots and knock up. He has 4 skill shots which makes your mobility very difficult for him to deal with. When he ulti's you, you can (E) or (Q) to him and then walk behind him if need be. After level 6 this lane gets easier.”
“Dodge dodge and dodge. This lane is a mini game for Vladimir if he wins by dodging Velkoz's abilities then you should beat him. Be as aggresive as you can when he wastes his abilities. Vladimir is a champion all about timing, waiting for the enemy for their cooldowns is key to winning this lane. ”
“The range is annoying and he hits harder in teamfights. You win the 1v1, but do your best to keep him in check throughout the game.”
“He is a mage who only has skillshots. Dodge them and all in him since he can't escape. If he ults you, jump on him and go behind to dodge his beam.
”
“Skill match up. If he hits hit knock up, you'll get burst down. Make sure you save your E for when you think he'll use R since this will take him out of it.”
“Dodge his E and you should win all trades since it's quite hard for him to hit all his other abilities. When level 6, try and bait his ult with your W placement this is an easy way of getting him to waste his ult. ”
“Velkoz is possibly hardest matchup, that you might have against any mage-type champion. Main reason is, that his damage output with full combo is insane and even if you build MR, it will not save you against his true damage. Last biggest thing is, that you don't have any interrupt for his ult, so if he manages to land combo, you are most likely dead. In this case just farm up and try to not get killed. You can poke a bit from behind, but don't get into his E range if possible. When you hit level 16, you should be able to win game through pure poke, because your range is just incredibly high compared to his, but mostly it's not easy to get there.”
“Difficult lane due to his range and W, which can go through minions. He isn't much of a threat unless you are hit 3 times with his abilities which proc his passive (bonus true damage). As long as his passive doesn't proc, you can pretty much out trade him every time. Once again, your ult and W can dodge any of his abilities so use them wisely. He is also an immobile champion so ask for frequent ganks (junglers love ganking immobile lanes). This is, of course, if you aren't pushed into his tower.”
“High Range Mage , take sustain or mr to survive the laning phase , you are better in tf. For kill him you need all in.”
“Can be a hard champ to handle but if you keep moving in lane and get boots asap you'll be fine just try not to get hit 3 times by his abilities as to avoid the true damage proc.”
“Basically the same as Xerath but a little bit easier to approach and kill with wall. The trade off being he has a stronger all in with ult. ”
“D-Blade You just windwall all his abilities besides R. He will outscale you though. Take Conq.”
“He out-ranges you a LOT and hits hard. Try to not get hit by his combo's. This is a difficult lane pre 6 but if you don't eat up his combo's all the time you will put yourself in a great position to punish him once you have your ultimate. This lane is really going to rely on how decent you are at avoiding his skill shots and knock up. He has 4 skill shots which makes your mobility very difficult for him to deal with. When he ulti's you, you can dash to him and then walk behind him if need be. Use your shroud to your advantage.”
“Pokes often, don't walk into his second Q”
“Vel'Koz outranges and outdamages you by a lot. NEVER waste your E on his Q and W poke when he has E and R ready, try to dodge it instead. Buy early boots to make dodging easier. You can catch him offguard and Q him while he's ulting someone else.”
“You can kill him just stay behind minions for his Q dodge the knockup with your pool pre-6 and dodge his ult 6+ get him low and set up for the oneshot just be wary of his 3 hit passive
”
“If you are able to dodge Vel's poke early, should be easy kills later as he has no mobility and is squishy. ”
“Pretty hard matchup, he will always outrange you, you will have trouble poking or getting close to him to actually damage. After somepoing he will q + ult you so care about his powerspike. Dance like a Michael Jackson and you shall be fine”
“Cull with Future's Market and farm up. Even matchup. Dodge his E since he can all in you if he gets his passive proc.”
“Vel'Koz can deal a shit load of damage with the True damage from his passive. As long as you dodge his Q and E you should be fine.”
“You can WindWall all of his abilities except for R that will deal a minor damage if he didn't mark you with his passive. also you can knock him up and disable his R.”
“Care for the stun. except that you should be fine. He is squishy but with big damage. ”
“Lots of poke,watch out for when his R does true damage,if you can Q him right when he uses R you will avoid almost all his damage and even if u didnt have a Q reset mark It is more than worth”
“Play aggressive when his Q is on CD. Setup Q daggers when he's going for CS. He's VERY squishy and can be out-traded. If he misses knock up, he's open. Careful when he's level 6 because his ult does PLENTY of damage and if you don't have E ready you'd eat a lot of the damage. His ult makes him stationary, take advantage of this. You can all in with EW, but as soon as you do, walk to the side to avoid his knock up, you should anticipate this.”
“Vel'Koz can burst you from high health once he hits level 6. He has quite a bit of poke, so position yourself carefully to dodge it. Shrines early on are important to staying in lane.”
“flash on him, avoid getting hit by his E”
“HoB/DH, Sword/Dark seal. Vel'koz is quickly becoming one of my favorite lanes as I practice it more and more, and is actually quite a lot of fun to play into. All of his spells are telegraphed and should not hit you, with the exception of the first tick of his W. Back off when that inevitably hits you; it’s a quick cast and a wide area, so it will happen. Make sure not to let him proc his passive. Most of the difficulty of the matchup comes from learning his Q, which is a unique and deceptive mechanic. Hide behind your wave so he can’t directly Q you, then dodge back if he tries to split it around your shields. His E has a very short range but will guarantee his combo if it connects, and is his most threatening ability. If you were close enough that he can follow up a Q hit with an E, you’ve f***ed up. A good Vel will shoot E's right in front of creeps that are about to die, attempting to catch you when you walk up to last hit them. Pay extra special attention to this and don't walk into his trap. You'll take a full combo and be forced to back. If you do this after 6, you probably just die from full. You can wreck him at 6 if he is dumb enough to int into range; he is extremely squishy, builds greedy, and you can easily kill him through barrier, but his spells don’t force him to and a good player won’t give you the chance. If you see a moment, don’t chase after him immediately after ulting in. If he lands E and full combos, you almost certainly will die. Mash flash if he tries to catch you with E at your landing spot. If he is truly determined to play safe, it’s best to either just ult in place and chunk him from range or roam. He's got no mobility and won't be able to answer.”
“super long range, loads of poke but killable if you get 6 first. but if you get hit by his knock up post 6 your dead. ”
“Out ranges you and can easily catch you out with his E or Q.”
“The Problem against vel koz to cover him against his pokes couse his range play you fast out but your still strong enough against him you need to go all in if you want dangerous enough poking fights he will win .”
“Not so much to talk about.
Try to avoid getting his passive stacked on you”
“high range true dmg oof”
“This is a completely skill matchup. You can get onto him with your gold card, and win extended trades, but the key to it is dodging his abilities. It purely comes down to that. I suggest taking ghost. ”
“Almost unplayable. Try staying inside minions, dodge his W tho. While he is ulting try F + your ult for only chance. Phase rush.”
“you should dodge, ty.”
“vel outpushes xer early but xer wins mid/late”
“Take PTA or Comet. His ult turns slowly, so if you are close to him, jump behind him immediately. ”
“Your Mobility makes it hard for Vel'Koz to predict your movement. He is easily punishable when he ults, as he stands still. The perfect time to cast your W-Ability and finish him.”
“he can out range you, and out burst you. but he is immobile. take barrier to win.”
“Vel'Koz might cause some struggles due to poke but nothing too major - don't overextend and play off your damage / trade combos. ”
“Easy matchup if you dodge his stuff but his midgame is better than your's. ”
“Really easy to burst him down and you can e behind him if he ults you also try to dodge his e.”
“He has no escape and squishy. Try to avoid his poke and stay healthy.”
“Low Major
He outranges you and hurts like hell with his passive but he is fairly easy to dodge, After 6 he has the annoying Q then R to slow you so that the Q lands so be wary of it.”
“Can be problematic but, he is extremely easy to kill as long as you land a good W flash Q ignite should do the job.”
“More info in the match up section”
“Vel'Koz is an easy laner, as if you don't get stacked then he does no damage to you. dodging his E is imperative, but pretty easy.”

“Easiest match up of all, you are the better Vk. ”
“awful champ i hate it, has lots of range to poke you down and r is bulls... but you can run him down since he's vulnerable to allins, you outscale
fleet+dom, electro if confident”
“Vel isnt strong against fizz just 1v1 him and get him behind”
“Treat him like Xerath. Kind of a skill match up. His wave clear is god. Try to keep up with it. Watch out for how many stacks he has on you because it'll do true damage and watch out for his knockup. Very immobile tho, easy to shuffle.
Take comet/conq.”
“Tough Pre-6. Q can interrupt his ult. Beware of his insane true damage. ”
“You can block everything besides his R with windwall. ”
“just go forward when he shoots his balls at you, verry easy to counter”
“He out-ranges you a LOT and hits hard. Try to not get hit by his combo's. This is a difficult lane pre 6 but if you don't eat up his combo's all the time you will put yourself in a great position to punish him once you have your ultimate. This lane is really going to rely on how decent you are at avoiding his skill shots and knock up. He has 4 skill shots which makes your mobility very difficult for him to deal with. When he ulti's you, you can dash to him and then walk behind him if need be. Use your shroud to your advantage.
”
“Vel'koz can be really hard since he has a lot more range than ahri and since his passive gives him a lot of true damage makes him a dangerous foe to face in the midlane”
“out ranges you, can harass you with safety. if you try to all in you'll be taking serious amounts of damage”
“So much poke with this f**ing champ, try to kill him when he has no mana.”
“es mas que nada molesto. te va a pokear y pokear y pokear, le pegas una burbuja y lo violaaaas dh elec”
“Skill matchup. All his abilities are skillshots. Avoid them and land yours to win the lane.”
“Vel'koz's poke isn't all that threatening. It's all fairly easy to dodge. Unless he takes glacial augment. Then he's going for hextech-glp and twin shadows. In that case you don't stand a chance. He'll permaslow you and land his full combo on you, which is always a guaranteed death. Take teleport/barrier/heal and get a corrupting pot”
“he has a lot of range but he can't really do anything if you all in him. try your best to dodge his skillshots and you will be able to beat him.”
“His spells are easy to dodge. Sit on the opposite side of the minion wave that he's on. This will help you to avoid his long ranged ability. If he misses his knockup, all in him, because he can't do anything to stop you unless he's fed.”
“Even experienced players will have one weakness: After using both of their W charges to clear the wave, they are open for engages. Use this to your advantage, but make sure you dodge his E while going after him. If you struggle laning against him, make up for it by roaming other lanes post lvl 6, since your roaming is superior to his.”
“Vel'koz is Decent Against Lux, but Overall it comes down Too Who can Land their Skiil shots better”
“Stop playing Blind Pick”
“Dodge his E with your R and you win.”
“A good vel'koz is still able to smash you, a bad one will regret picking an immobile mage, stay behind minions avoid poke and all in at level 4ish after he uses Q or both of his W's , you do not need Hexdrinker unless you are really losing, but if you are it wont help much because of his true damage”
“High poke , start d shield, bait his e before ulting, if you do , you will kill him.”
“This matchup is pretty similar to Xerath in the sense that if you get onto him he cant get you off, but be careful of his E as if he hits that he can one shot you in later stages. Shove the wave and look to roam to make plays on the side lanes. ”
“read xerath matchup but basically he's that but much much worse since he can actually threat a kill at 6 and he can farm much safely without losing mana”
“Squishy with super slow abilities. Save your E for his E, and look for all ins with your shark. Roam a lot. If you win your lane, it is game over for the enemy team, and he will struggle to come back. Mercs is okay, but PTA is amazing.”
“Hard to see one of those, but it's hard because of his range”
“His abilities are really easy to sidestep, stay around minions, you win every trade, bully him with confidence. at lvl 6 freely go for the kill. ”
“Play him like most mages, farm safely early and all in him at your powerspikes. His ult requires solid positioning. ”
“By dodging Vel's abilites through unexpected movements is the best bet to win VS Vel'Koz.
Yasuo's Windwall will stop Vel'Koz's Q, W and E.
For this reason it's a heavily Yasuo favoured matchup.
”
“He is outranging you completely. Just try to farm and roam until mid/lategame.”
“his E knocks you up so you gotta dodge that, his Q range is high so be careful
other than that he's not too hard to play against”
“Vel'Koz is no issue as long as you dodge his abilities by either juking them or by using your e. Once he used his abilities or runs out of mana, all in him as he will be forced to use at least one of his Summoner Spells and you can maybe get a kill of of that.”
“Same as Xerath, insane range and poke. Is quite squishy and can be burst if you catch him out of position.”
“He has longer range but your plant autos can still poke him. Keep your distance and avoid his E, you should win lane.”
“All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
“His full combo hurts more than your's but it is easy to dodge, buy Hexdrinker when you are behind and he has no mobility to escape ganks other than his flash.”
“Really scary if he knows what he's doing, kill him if he steps up too close and shove and roam if he's good and plays safe also watch out for his Ult damage”
“dodge game rsrs, be agressive. push and roam.dodge her w and you're in good.”
“Mostly played as a supp. If he tries to get his combo on you, you can get out of his range with your e. If he ults and you think you can burst him down, go in and interrupt his ult with yours, or dash around him since it takes some time for him to turn around.”
“Easy to kill at any level.”
“He has literally no mobility whatsoever, and it's easy to dodge his skillshots. If you push lane and poke him, he's going to cry like a little baby. Stand behind minions and be careful of his skillshots and you're good.”
“Annoying levels of poke, it's like a worse Xerath. Hide behind minions and don't get hit by his E, and you should be fine. Care for his R damage, it does a LOT even if he only hits Q with it. Corrupting pot will help, and maybe heal, as they don't really go ignite.”
“A very annoying matchup because of his poke and true damage but you're capable of shoving his lane in and burning his mana bar which will force him to back or miss more CS under tower.”
“Be mindful of his stupid annoying abilities. Same thing as with Xerath, don't let him hit both you and the minions, and try and dodge his shit best you can. All you have to do is hardpush, wait for 6 and then you can fuck his head with your jungler. ”
“One of my favorite mages, he works similarly to you in that he lands his cc and bursts you down. His Q poke can be tricky to dodge, and if he maxes W his wave clear will be better than yours.
Get your jungler to help gank him, as he is very immobile and only has one slower moving hard cc.”
“Absolute cancer of a character , his entire kit has so much range in it that you literally cant get in e distance , even when you flash e its very unlikely that you will hit , and like every other mage , vel scales like a motherfucker so its really hard to outplay this guy at any stage of the game, though if you do get in range you can oneshot .”
“He plays far back and poke soften but is by far one of the most squishy champs in the game. If you can catch him in an all in or maybe during his ult, he is an easy kill. Just dodge poke. Go Doran's shield.”
“his abilities are hard to dodge and it's hard to get close to velkoz”
“velkoz will push you into tower and poke you out of lane. he'll keep you from using your bushes or your Q and melt through your moderate tankiness. he'll scale up and be a monster late-game while you lag behind. bad bad lane. if you end up having to play this, your best bet is to gank him repeatedly and just keep him from ever playing the lane, because you can beat him in the first few levels with your OP shield and your Q is a jungler's wet dream. If VK is smart, though, he won't let you get that close. the good news is that most people play VK bot, not mid, so you shouldn't see him here.”
“Ignite/TP matchup.
Treat him like other mages. Rule number one, do not stand next to minions. Force him to pick, shove you win or poke you. If he shoves you in, poke him. If he pokes you, shove him in. Never let him accomplish 2 things using abilities.
Level 1 if he starts Q, shove that bitch in. If he starts W, harass him hard. W Q AA poke and back off. Continue this process. At around first-second backs, he will be able to shove you in, however he is easy 300g for your jungler with ez af shuffles.”
“You can stomp him but this is a very annoying lane because his abilities are longer ranged than yours so its hard to close the gap on him. Not much he can do though even if he ults just W him to cancel it.”
“block his e with your windwall and you should have 0 problems against him”
“if you can dodge his abilities pre6 you'll be fine, try to trade using your q. after 6 wait for his knockup and r to dodge it then kill him.”
“He counters Heimerdinger if he plays safe and just clears your turrets from range and pokes you down. Even though this matchups is not as oppressive as other poke/waveclear matchups like Syndra, Ziggs or Xerath. Dodge his knock-up at all cost and max W to match his waveclear.”
“He's only annoying. Tbh if you get used to dancing around lane, you can dodge most of his abilities lol.
He can't run tho, and that's a plus because if you go all-in, you'll probably kill him”
“Not too hard to win this one, just dodge his skillshots and you should be fine as long as you can beat him early game. If you can't, then you're in trouble because his threat level shoots straight through the roof.”
“same as Veigar, doge his e and you win”
“Slighty favored towards Vel'Koz since it's pretty hard for you to cancel his R, however it's kind of a fair matchup, your dodging skills will define the outcome of the lane”
“Higher Range champs are hard in sustaining your lane but your can still always poking them with your E ”
“His abilities are really easy to sidestep, stay around minions, you win every trade, bully him with confidence. at lvl 6 freely go for the kill. ”
“Dodge his knockup and you win.”
“really strong, isn't like the other big threats but still destroys you if you aren't careful.”
“Heimer is weak vs artillery mages, but Vel'Koz is probably the easiest of them to manage. His Q can be blocked by the wave or your turrets and his W is good for pushing the wave but has limited range and does little damage to you. The only way he should be able to kill you early is if he lands his E after poking you down (which shouldn't happen) and he combos you, or with the help of his jungler. He begins to HURT when he gets Luden's Echo and Magic Penetration, so you have to be quick with dodging his abilities and also be especially wary of him firing at you from over walls/in fog of war. If he ever Ults you, hes locked in his channel meaning you get a free RE onto him which can result in an Ult trade or possibly even a kill if hes low/you combo it with turret lasers.”

“*sigh* The Void isn't always nice with you and Vel'koz is everything but friendly. A good Vel'koz will make sure to break your passive whenever he can and his W+P will delete minions from existence. If you get caugth in his E without having the passive active, say goodbye to this cruel world. Farm the most you can and ask ganks to your jungler before it's too late (aka before you get 0/10 in 15 minutes).”
“A champ you can block most abilities with, but take care of his passive which allows him to deal true damage when successfully activated.”
“This is exacly same as xerath match up,the only difference is the passive proc and the after 6 combo.”
“Vel'koz can poke you out if you cant dodge his shots, but he is vunerable for your W since he is immobile. try to bait out his r and then place your W over him, then its a free kill. Take barrier to not get blown up.”
“Velkoz's waveclear is really hard to match in early-game and you can't really get close to him as his E can be quite hard to dodge.”
“Basically Annie suffer long range champions.”
“Poke mage that's really good at poking. He'll make your lane quite the pain and you'll probably miss a lot of CS and EXP due to his constant harassing. Although you can cancel his R with a Q , getting in range is the problem. Vel koz will usually hold onto his E waiting for you to jump onto him only to be knocked up and then heavily damaged or killed by him. Try to slip into sidelanes later on to make up for the loss and ping for help , he's immobile.”
“Working on a update for Vs. Champions”
“Really annoying to lange against if you can't dodge his abilites. Rush hexdrinker and play safe if you're not confident laning against him ”
“Take the INSPIRATION(2) rune path.
For more information go to the "Detailed Matchups" section.”
“This is a little bit more on the tough side. But if you got moves and can dodge his skill shots he should be an easy kill. ”
“in laning phase try to ult his ult to cancel it. You can also Q his ult. In teamfights you gotta find a way to get to him. try zhonya and mercs. If he doesnt harass you level 1 to level 3, work towards poking him and killing him. A passive velkoz early is a bad velkoz. Start corrupt pot.”
“Velkoz is equally as bursty as lux. Both are matched fairly well. I reccomend playing slightly off the minion line, to avoid the inevitable W farm, but close enough to avoid the Geometry wars of his Q. Best chance to get them is right after using his knockup. You are slightly outranged on singularity here, so he has the small advantage, but mostly its a skill matchup. ”
“Can suck if he knows geometry. Just watch out for the R pop, and don't let him stack his passive, it can hurt.”
“Difficulty: Easy (Details in Matchup section)”
“He can hard abuse you until you get boots. He gets outscaled at boots. Dodge the knockup and Q, wall him to cancel the ult.”
“You're one of Vel'Koz's biggest counters. His E is hard to land even on an immobile target. When that ability is down, make sure to be aggressive at that point. It's very hard for him to turn while using his ultimate, and your ultimate will also stop his from channeling. If he does try to counter attack with his ult. Use your E to position yourself behind him after you ult him so he can't lock you down.”
“Geometry. When he Qs don't walk away from him but walk towards him or stand in your minion wave. Walk out of minion wave when his Q is down because he always Ws the wave. Squishy and very all-inable.”
“The only thing you can do is playing really safe, his poke is insane.”
“From my experience, it's pretty easy to deal with him. He will try to spam you with his skills in lane, try to dodge them as best as you can, you counter his ult great, so unless you are sure you can kill him, don't use your charm until he ults.”
“Like xerath low mobility so all in with 6 and avoid poke.”
“Very annoying early. Easy mid-late.”
“You will learn to dodge like a pro. If you dodge you can 1 shot him. He is easy to kill if you know how to dodge. After 2-3 games you will be a pro against him. You can counter his R with your W.”
“Can imagine this guy is gonna be a problem, luckily high skilled champions don't get played much in silver. God, please let me somehow get to gold so atleast my teammates know what they're doing.”
“Vel'Koz is annoying if you can't simultaneously dodge and trade. He'll most likely throw out his Q if you try to poke him. ”
“Very hard to play in early. He pokes a lot so use Q when he uses his ablilities. At 6 you win if he misses E. ”
“Just dodge everything.”
“It's really easy to gapclose and kill Vel'koz. He has no escape and as long as you dodge his Q and E, the worst situation your lane will be is a stalemate that will allow you to scale and get your two core items.”
“Easiest Matchup for Leblanc. Always pick Leblanc into Vel'koz. You easily Oneshot (OS) him and dodge his abilities!”
“Banshee's Veil is essential”
“Same as Lux, avoid her knock up and you win the trades every time. His poke is annoying but manageable.”
“Wait out Velkoz stacks before fighting. Play around minions to avoid getting hit by his geometry. You should be able to win against him pretty easily. Usually Velkoz will put the knock up close to him if you're going forward for a kill. Save a charge of ult to avoid his knock up if you can't predict. ”
“doge his spells you win get hit by them you lose try to bait him off lane to kill him easy”
“Depends on how well you dodge his skills. If you're struggling with dodging then build boots ASAP. Don't fight him while he has stacks on you. In general you can win trades pretty easily because it's easier to dodge his skills than for him to dodge yours. Be mindful of his E when walking in to QW him. ”
“Dodge his skill shots and you are good”
“Vel koz is Poke mage with great potential to burst his targets but his abilities are quite easy to doge if you are familiar with them. His most dangerous combo starts with his AoE knock up on E followed by W and Q finished by his R. his passive apply "research" stacks that let him "research" his target, once you are researched (hit 3 stacks) u will receive a chunk of true damage and vel koz ultimate will deal true damage to you instead of magic damage which is way worse for somebody like Ahri and her low hp pool. so run away from his ultimate and abilities so he won't be able to do his "research" and you will win that lane if you manage to close the distance between you and him since his poke range is superior compared to yours”
“All his abilities are skillshots, making him really weak against mobile champions like Yasuo. You can use windwall to block Q,W and E but NOTnot the ultimate. If he makes the mistake of walking too far up, dash onto him and play as aggro as possible because you have the advantage in a minion wave. In the later stages of the game you should pressure in the sidelane because he won't be able to match you/run away.”
“a true honorable battle of skill& aim shake hands with him before and after the game ”
“Vel'Koz require extreme geometry to play. As long as you know what E=MC^2 is... You will be fine. Okay for reals though........ Just don't get hit by three of his abilities because if you do his passive will do TRUE damage to you. When you are low and you get hit by his W... AND you don't have F or R........... YOU will pretty much die.”
“Poke from afar, your R cancels his R
[DETAILED MATCHUP INFORMATION BELOW]”
“Just go roam If your rival is Vel'Koz”
“Go in when he doesn't have his E, or make him waste it. Hide by your minions to avoid his Q. He'll most likely try to farm just using his abilities. Bait his R with your W and buy Banshee's if you are having trouble with him.”
“You cannot do a lot during lanephase against long range poke. He can kill you in a single combo if you're caught off guard. Just farm and wait for a gank.”
“Kind of an annoying match up. Id honestly put him somewhere between major and even. All of his attacks are skill shots, but he out ranges you easily pre 11. Another farming lane until 11. ”
“Annoying poke and range. However, you have mobility to all-in and he's vulnerable. Find all-in opportunites and kill him. Be careful of his burst at 6 since your Windwall cannot block his ulti.”
“His high Range and your lack of Speed will put you at a huge disadvantage”
“Rather easy match up. Poke him and cancel his r with e or your r.”
“He cant push lane fast enough except when he maxes W.
But when he has no damage so E onto him and dodge his E.”
“dodge all, attack him, dodge again, e, be you the man..woman who use first the laser.”
“All skillshots, you can just juke everything he has. Be carefull of underestimating his R's damage.”
“Oppressive laning phase. I recommend you to not let him push you in; keep the lane towards you side (but near the middle) or push up towards him when you're safe. Definitely want to run Fleet and a Doran's Shield in this lane. After level 6, it gets a lot easier for you especially if you can avoid his W knockup and silence his ult if he starts using it.”
“His cooldown and extremly damage can make a hell in lane”
“save ur sanguine for hims ultimate he try to poke with E Q W combo he hasnt escape ability and hes to much squishy”
“His combo is very deadly.”
“Relatively easy lane. Vel'Koz's skillshots are pretty easy to dodge. Pre-6 you'll want to push him under turret and watch him cry. Post-6 be careful because his Ult does more than you think. Since Vel'Koz has no mobility, it's pretty easy to Shurima Shuffle him into your turret.”
“When he Qs run towards him. Use your E to dodge his stun (E). Keep in mind your W gives movement speed you can use that to dodge his E as well. If you wanna play safe buy Zhonia”
“This match-up is test of your skills at dodging skillshots. It all comes to this, and, as you have much better poke, you have to dominate line at first levels. Always be first to all-in and... it's pretty all here.”
“How to counter: Punish him whenever he misses an E/all in. He doesn't have an escape tool.”
“He is annoying as he can just poke you down in lane, so try to dodge as much as you can.”
“Stand behind your melee minions and dodge his W, he will be very confident, then you kill him”
“Oh boy, its tentacles, its geometry, know where his Q's will expand and sidestep his E and W.”
“Dodge his E's and you're gonna have the best lane you ever had.”
“Easy mathup for zed once u get lvl 6. try to get lvl advantage and engage him when his abilities are on cd. Also use your minion wave to protect urself from his skillshot and keep walking to avoid getting harass easily.”
“Vel'koz has a damaging kit that has poke and cc. You will get outtraded and is likely to lose laning phase.”
“You can avoid his skillshots and his one hard cc
Will most likely make him play safe under tower and use his long range to poke
”
“Very immobile champ,and is very hard for him to predict your E dash,so you can easily go all in him when you re feeded and you will be very ok”
“Vel'koz has good wave clear, abnormal poke, and a dangerous passive. Keep an eye out for projectiles, which will set up the whole kit. If you dodge the Q projectile, and poke accordingly, you should be fine. Remember that the ult locks Vel'koz in place, so you can get a clean ult off if Vel'koz is low for an easy kill.”

Tips Against Vel'Koz in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“He's annoying, he will Q you, he will W and E you, he WILL kill you. You need to be extraordinarily careful in order to not get poked low while maintaining farming and poking back.”
“he have cc, slow big damage and its almost impossible to run away”
“Много урона,как и АП,так и чистого. Советую лишь убивать его на расстоянии,а если он саппорт,то уклоняйтесь от его q и e.”
“Another artillery mage, he spams a lot more compared to the others. However there's many things you can do to counter him such as going for a long range E stun and then going off of that.”
“Outranges Swain, he can't hit E ever on her. Flashing in and all in-ing is only hope.”
“Only reason he's in Major is because a good Vel'Koz will ruin your day. But most Vel'Koz players are super bad and because of that i would put him in minor because it's just 2 to 3 hit material if they are bad players.”
“Velkos does extra damage when landing three consecutive spells or every 3rd tic of his ultimate. Once he gets enough mana regen he can spam Q safely however he is extremely vulnerable to CC and all ins due to low mobility and hp”
“He's annoying, he will Q you, he will W and E you, he WILL kill you. You need to be extraordinarily careful in order to not get poked low while maintaining farming and poking back.”
“This champion is extremely obnoxious, has double the range of you, can poke you on every cs you try to take, has very low mana costs and extremely high poke and purst damage, while his E also provides him with safety if you try to run towards him. He absolutely demolishes short range marksmen in botlane and is an extremely underrated champion both as a botlaner and a support.”
“Another Mage Support, this one not quite as scary as Veigar. Play it safe, and be sure to make plays on his ult cooldown. Mostly focus on knocking him down before you fight the AD Carry.”
“Similar to Brand, but I think objectively worse. If you dodge his skillshots he becomes a punching bag.”
“His amazing burst and true damage will make botlane a serious treat. Be careful of his lvl 6 and don't try to get hit by his stun (E).”
“Who want this support anyway?”
“His amazing burst and true damage will make botlane a serious treat. Be careful of his lvl 6 and don't try to get hit by his stun (E).”
“Will get strong if the game goes too long, rapid fire and death's dance might be recommended if he does get fed. However, if you can dodge his first couple of abilities, then you'll be able to run at him when he's alone and destroy him. Use your E to cc him and you'll have a bigger window to move on him. Combine your support and he's most likely dead.”
“Use minion wave to avoid his poke, very immobile so ask for jg gank.”
“Extremamente Fácil quando junto a Sup de engage.”
