Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have a slight edge due to E's superior waveclear and ability to trade through minions, but Vel'Koz can match your poke range.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes Vel'Koz favored as his R has longer range than yours and he can kill you faster in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Look for E-auto trades when he steps up to CS, then immediately back off to avoid his Q-W combo.
- Your best all-in window is landing Q when he's positioned aggressively, allowing you to get full combo damage before he can respond with his sustained damage.
Wave Control
- Push waves quickly with E to create roam timers and avoid extended trades where his sustained damage excels.
- Keep the wave in neutral positions when possible since both of you are vulnerable to ganks, but prioritize shoving when you have mana advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his poke trading in extended fights as his W-E combo outdamages your E over time.
- Avoid using Q defensively unless absolutely necessary since it's your only reliable engage tool and escape mechanism in this matchup.
