Rylai's is a very, very good item on Vel'Koz.

Yes, the slow does not apply on his Q, because the Q slow is stronger.

The Rylai's slow is also worthless on his E, as the target is suspended for 0.75s so a 40% slow will only be used for 0.25s.

However, the big deal is his passive. Everytime you proc your passive, you're getting a 40% slow for 1.5s. This means your ultimate applies applies a 20% slow until the passive is activated which is then boosted to 40% for 1.5s after the last passive proc ends.

So it means you can effectively provide a 40% slow to an entire team if they are caught in your ult. It also means that all of your other skills are applying a little slow which is then boosted to a larger slow when the passive kicks in.

It's one of the strongest items you can buy on Vel'Koz because of the repeat Rylai's procs followed by single target Rylai's procs. The health on the item is great and the chunk of AP is quite useful too. It's not part of the Vel'Koz core build, but it should probably be your 3rd item (excluding boots) if you do not need a void staff yet.
