Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Vel'Koz's superior range and consistent Q-W poke that outranges your abilities.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R if you can land your combo, but Vel'Koz still has the advantage in extended fights with his true damage passive.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W-E-Q when Vel'Koz uses abilities on minions or mispositions, as this gives you the highest burst potential.
- Avoid extended trades and focus on quick combos since his sustained damage and range advantage will win longer engagements.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to match his waveclear and prevent him from freely poking you under tower.
- After level 6, look for slow pushes into roam timings since you can't reliably kill him in lane without jungle assistance.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his poke trading in the early game as his Q-W combo outdamages and outranges your abilities.
- Avoid standing in minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions, giving him free poke while he maintains wave control.
