"Vel's spammable, low-cooldown abilities with heavy CC, high base damage and low-ish AP scalings make him an excellent support (he offers plenty of peel and heavy AoE damage)"

Tectonic Disruption - Cooldown 16/15/14/13/12.

Aside from that... Vel's CC amounts to "a slow", two if you count his ultimate's weak slow. So when he's used his E, that's 16 seconds during which the enemy can engage and Vel can barely provide more peel for Kog than Kog himself can (Vel's slow is stronger, but can miss/be dodged). This isn't even counting in the unreliability of Tectonic Disruption - it's a smaller AOE than or hell,. Both of which are on lower CDs.

So I'd disagree with the "plenty of peel" appraisal, personally... And the "excellent support" for that matter, but that's a gripe for another day.
