Playing against Velkoz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Interrupt his R with CC — he's immobile and vulnerable during the laser channel.

2

His E knockup is his only protection against engages: bait it out then dive.

3

Vel'Koz is immobile and squishy — assassins destroy him easily.

4

Side-step his Q: it splits at an angle, anticipate the trajectory of both branches.
