#VelKoz #LoL #WhyNoOnePlays

[zoubekukrutny]

When i got into lol, it was because of the lore and champion design. I liked the Velkoz design and lore so much i decided to play the game because of him. Now im a Velkoz main, and i can't imagine that changing. Im also glad he has low playrate, because i can play him in almost every game.

Vel'Koz definitely needs patience and practice to trigger that satisfaction, but man, when I'm nailing my laner with every split Q and can just feel them flaming their jg in team chat... *chef kiss*

[wardablemusic]

As a velkoz main this entire video makes me insanely sad.

Your understanding of the velkoz situation is perfect, but this is what makes it sad

[crazychickenkrey]

Why do these videos only get a couple hundred views but have outstanding amounts of care and work put into them

[bakescake]

video: vel'koz is a champion that requires a lot of thinking
me: i just pushed buttons and they worked

[jabinnicholas]

every single time i hit a good q on him its incredibly satisfactory plus the amount of kill pressure from his ult is huge

[tongo]

I feel like he missed out on the most fun part of Vel: picking him as support and watching the enemy support suffering becouse their adc tanks every Q I throw at him

[idioticidiot]

"He gives much less satisfaction"

Do you know how it feels to outplay someone with the perfect q? That is true satisfaction

[gblancer]

It's not an issue with velkoz. It's the whole class getting pushed out slowly.

[gnarmaw]

As Vel'Koz OTP, I'm fine with champion being unpopular, makes it easy to pick and is almost never banned

[ajithrajaful]

He’s part of the old group of champions that dont have a dash blink heal and shield in his kit while being tanky. He’s actually balanced

[weegeearmy]

these are extremely informative videos that are criminally underrated

[thomasfanek]

Yeah Vel was released in 2014 when not everyone and their mother had a dash. Now champions like akali, irelia, yasuo, yone, zed, etc. are constantly picked mid and just offer more outplay potential. The thing about Vel is his kit is it's just so straight forward. Someone like Qiyana gets many more options out of any one of her abilities where as Vel only has limited options. He offers a lot of obvious counterplay where it's not difficult to understand how to beat him compared to other champions with high mobility and such.

I thought velkoz would be popular . He looks good plus has great skills .

[AsceticCommando]

everyone: karthus has a low effective range
me in fountain: dies to karthus R

[sunraiii]

Playing velkoz means getting rewarded for playing calm and precise, and I love that.

[lucasthompson]

The way you described the mindset required for this character the more I realized I should main him . That is my playstyle "slow and methodical in a game attrition " . That is pretty much my exact playstyle lol. That's also why I main casters in the dark souls series. Its a game of patience and methodical planning when you want to strike and with what you should strike with . Deciding if you want to go for combos to snowball or poke with light magic in a game of attrition . You must do what the situation demands .

Cars: “learning vel’koz comes with less satisfaction.”

Me: “I dunno, firing a giant death ray and disintegrating 2 or 3 enemies instantly seems pretty satisfying to me.”

[flameofmage]

I think his kit is brilliant and style is perfect for his lore.

[dinoverde]

Very good video, as a velkoz main I really like that Chess like play style as it is much more strategy and less go in and just get a penta, also I like it better than xerath and zigs cause how much more damage he can deal at close range. I don't see much velkoz but as long as I can pythagoras my way to the enemy nexus I'm all for it
