You haven't played Vel'Koz a lot if you think Liandry's is bad on him. I think it's actually core on him: Vel has three abilities that apply CC, one ability that applies damage twice, another that deals damage over time and mediocre AP ratios compared to most other mages. All of these warrant him building Liandry's to deal the most damage. While I wouldn't recommend Vel'Koz top, as he's vulnerable to hard engages (then again, I'm not Challenger), even on a mid Vel'Koz building Liandry's will amplify your damage more than with raw AP due to the magic pen, and the burn DoT will melt even tanks. Assuming your team lets you lay down your full ult on the enemy team, you can put practically everyone on the other side down to half health.
