Tips Against Vel'Koz as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

mUI0g says “Skilled matchup. Depends on your skills at landing skillshots and also dodging his skillshots.”

Aerenax says “Velkoz pokes you down in lane which will probably force you under tower with half HP. Get used to his Q and how it angles and play around his E. When his abilities are on cooldown look for a Q to oneshot him.”
Arctic Arrow says “His abilities, especially his Q (Plasma Fission) and E (Tectonic Disruption), can be annoying, but they are manageable with good positioning. Avoid standing in his skill shots to minimize damage and crowd control effects. Engage when his abilities are on cooldown or when he’s out of position.”

Ziulo says “Outranges you and outdamages you. Commit one mistake and half your hp is gone.”

xpwnz1337 says “Unlucky matchup. overbuffed tank burst mage. Alistar's counter. Counterplay: Dont eat poke. Roam. Try catching him with your team. Respect his passive as it can go through your R.”

LA COLORADA says “not much of a deal tbh, unless you get hit by every single one of his fucking skillshots i guess.”

Luckygirlsyndrome says “Mage support - Relatively high risk matchup. See matchups section for more details!”
hardkoR says “Good vel'koz is extremely dangerous for swain. After he reaches lvl 6 he can one shot you til the end of the game. His true dmg counters your tank build and he has lots slows and kitting. Only champion with stronger lvl 6 spike then you in bot-lane. ”
Foxirion says “Vel’Koz’s high range and burst damage can pose a significant threat to Nautilus. His ability to poke from a distance can make it difficult for Nautilus to engage.”
Stillo says “When facing Vel'Koz as Braum, the matchup presents a unique challenge due to Vel'Koz's ability to deal true damage with his ultimate, Life Form Disintegration Ray. While you can block Vel'Koz's other abilities, such as Plasma Fission and Tectonic Disruption, using your Unbreakable shield to block Life Form Disintegration Ray exposes you to significant true damage, making Vel'Koz a priority ban for you. To navigate this matchup effectively, you must adopt a proactive approach that focuses on engaging and disrupting Vel'Koz's combos to prevent him from unleashing his ultimate. Braum's crowd control abilities, such as Winter's Bite and Glacial Fissure, can interrupt Vel'Koz's channeling and disrupt his positioning, providing opportunities for your teammates to follow up and secure kills. Additionally, prioritize vision control and map awareness to avoid getting caught out by Vel'Koz's long-range poke and potential roams. Placing wards in key areas and communicating with teammates to track Vel'Koz's movements can help you anticipate his engages and respond accordingly. Furthermore, consider building items that provide additional magic resist and health to mitigate Vel'Koz's burst damage and increase your survivability in team fights. Items like Spirit Visage and Adaptive Helm can help you withstand Vel'Koz's onslaught and remain a resilient frontline presence for your team. Overall, while Vel'Koz presents a formidable challenge for you due to his true damage ultimate, adopting a proactive playstyle, prioritizing vision control, and building defensively can help you navigate the matchup effectively and secure victory for your team.”

Tips Against Vel'Koz in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Tamikaze says “[Barrier is viable for his ult, however I recommend Teleport] Vel'Koz does outrange you as a champion, but your mobility has the advantage to win lane. If uses Q & W in lane, you have a chance to go in and ult him. If he does lane the E when you go in be ready to be ulted right away. I recommend that you play around your Jungler since he's an immobile mage into an Azir shuffle. It will guarantee a flash at minimum. ”

MattStyle says “Es como un Xerath pero mucho peor. Su Q es mucho más fácil de evitar escondiéndote tras tus minions. No representa una amenaza. Hace mil años no lo ven en mid.”

Tatsurion says “Long range mages are your hardest matchup. theres little you can do other than dodge, because its not worth to trade with them, if you HAVE to use your Q to trade, its not worth. ESPECIALLY if you dont have mana sustain runes Burst if the comp allows”
Vladmidir says “A good velkoz will never let you get in range, but if you ever get close to him just 100-0 him. ”
[14.14] [Vladmidir] Vladimir Top/Mid Guide by Vladmidir | Vladimir Player
GreenReapers says “Any page viable. Long sword start. Even though Vel'Koz is an artillery mage, his early poke is not so bad, as though you'd need D-Shield. The only thing you really need to worry about is his E, as he can selfpeel with it rather easily into a combo. This should usually not be able to kill you outright tho. If he wastes it you can easily engage him with R or W. Look out to swap behind him if he channels his R. ”
In depth Zed Guide [14.13] by GreenReapers | Zed Player
support_diff says “Vel'Koz is a mage with many skillshots that aren't so hard to hit if the player knows what they are doing. Because of your passive (double auto attack) his skillshots are even easier to hit, so try to only use single auto attacks when farming. Only go in if he doesn't have two of his basic abilities up because otherwise the trade won't be worth it for you. Vel'Koz is immobile, so ganks can get him killed pretty easily especially if he doesn't have his E (knock up) available”
"Things To Do. Scores To Settle" by support_diff | Akshan Player
MetalK1d says “Vel'Koz has a very strong poke just hide behind minions to not get poked, he is very immobile so you can easily push him into you and kill.”
[14.11] Gragas Mid/Top/Jungle by MetalK1d | Gragas Player
otaliz says “Poke him as much as you can pre-level 6. From level 6 onwards, start pushing the wave as much as you can and look for roaming opportunities. Mercury's Treads is a good item to buy at first base, it offers you more movement speed to dodge his abilities, magic resistance and tenacity.”
Laimaudeja says “[I would use the Summon Aery page in this lane, and start Doran's Ring.] Play around minions as often as you can, since Vel'Koz's main damaging ability gets blocked by minions. In case there's no nearby minions, it might be better to walk towards Vel'Koz, as it is harder to recast at closer distance. Remember to hold your Satchel so you can cancel Vel'Koz's ultimate beam's channel.”
A Comprehensive Ziggs Primer by Laimaudeja | Ziggs Player
Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Scaling HPs. Vel'Koz is annoying because usually when he's picked, the player only plays vel'koz. This lane is poking and movement simulator, just like Hwei, Ziggs and Xerath. Try to outpush him so he has to choose between hitting spells on you or the wave.”
