That's funny. She's such a niche pick that she's been one of the most played champions for the past 3 months. It makes sense that she is popular right now, because she naturally counters Leona and Thresh (or, she at very minimum mitigates a lot of their threat and thus allows her lane partner to be more comfortable in-lane). Her popularity in V4.2 was almost non-existent, so I would assume that she was shown off in a tournament - although I was playing her long before then.

P.S. Through some miscommunication, I ended up playing bot-lane Vel'Koz yesterday. I'd like to think I was a support and not a mage-thats-pretending.
