That's weird, since often Vel'koz opens with E, applying a stack, and immediately follows with W during the knock up applying 2 stacks and activating the true damage. The only times you'd really need to watch your stacks is making sure to activate your ultimate when the enemies have 1 or 2 stacks, because then it will consume the passive twice rather than once if you get all 5 ticks in (which you should if you're using it effectively). Other than that Vel'koz really only needs to weigh whether or not it's too risky to auto attack the target to keep the charges up if his abilities are on cooldown.

It's far more important for your enemies to keep track of them.
