Talk:Vel'Koz/Strategy/@comment-24655251-20140308003050

After playing five games with him as a support I can say he seems to have a good place in the bot lane. Vel'koz's long range poke and the big changes to Spellthiefs Edge makes him very viable as a support and still be able to chunk enemy laners with only on a per game average of 110 ap. Key items would be Liandrys Torment, Sightstone, Frost Queens Claim. From these items the rest is a by game basis whether Randuins Omen or Locket of the Iron Solari. I personally prefer Mobility Boots because positioning is extremely important for support Vel'koz and allows you to out distance almost any bruiser that can chase you through a lane or jungle. For runes basic set up for an AP mid laner; armor, mr, ap, and magic pen, while masteries would be basic setup for a support 0/9/21. Once you have mastered Vel'koz's q you will be able to hit enemy laners from very awkward positions that will be very hard to anticipate. Once you engage just land q&gt;e&gt;w and very often your ADC will be able to mop them up. I also max r&gt;q&gt;e&gt;w. Any Questions? =D
