Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Vel'Koz and who Vel'Koz beats
Vel'koz hits like a truck from range, but he is one of the most immobile champions in the game. He has no dash and no escape outside Flash, and his only self peel is Tectonic Disruption, a small knockup with a noticeable delay before it lands. His ultimate is a channel that roots him in place while he steers it, so if you can interrupt it or get on top of him, his damage simply stops. To beat Vel'koz, bring something that out ranges his poke, a way to block or eat his spells, or hard lockdown that catches him before he can react. Champions who can shut off his combo or pin the immobile mage in place give him real trouble. When you pick him, you are betting you can land skillshots from safety, so respect anyone who can close the gap or silence you the moment you whiff.
