Ah, Happy Birthday Vel'koz, a champion I didnt care for originally, but have grown to love for time.

Looking at his design, he's kinda like the weird middle-child of two eras. He's the point where Riot found out that nigh every new champion needed some kind three/four-point system before unleashing their burst(ekko,Gnar,Jhin,Kindred)/utility(Braum,Tahm). He's also the point where Riot realized that every champion needed to have a completely unique point to their kit, otherwise the point to picking them other than superior stats (I have to think Vel'koz's competitive failure made them realize this).

He also has pretty much every importent mechanic subtly sown into his kit (Positioning for his ult, kiting, attack-weaving to keep up passive, etc).
