Vel'Koz tips and tricks
Use your Q to poke the enemy laner down as much as possible and then push the wave with your W. Bonus points if you can push and poke the enemy at the same time.
Try to delay a team fight for as long as possible while you poke the enemy down with your Q and W.
Your Ultimate R is a channel which leaves you vulnerable. Try to use your Ultimate R from a distance and in a safe position to avoid dying.
