FalleN3 says “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.”

eiensiei says “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.”

Yamikaze says “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. ”

Sylvan Lore says “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”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “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. ”

Ambitieux says “Vel'koz is only really hard if you let Vel have his way. Try to stay within minions so he cant snipe with his q. But not close enough to were his knock-up is instant and he can get free passive off you with E, W combo. At 6 his mobility is crazy terrible so you can have a jungler come in for a guarantee kill if you are having it rough. Other than that his push is pretty weak early and you can try to push him into turret if you feel like it. Fighting for early control with your jungler will help push advantages. Looking for roams is the easiest and safest way out of this lane.”

Yeager says “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)”

elnino9 says “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.”

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.”

AP WormMaW Mid says “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.”

Veralion says “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.”

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.”

DravensBukkake says “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.”

Euphoric Toaster says “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.”

Vispectra says “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.”

unownreality says “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. ”

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.”

AzureArmatt says “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”
