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.
