"Fiora-Tier" is exactly what Emptylord mentioned. She has no lane to really survive, yet her team fight abilities are pretty strong, some call it even god-tier. You canno't burst her and if you want to focus her she simply pops her ulti and is full health again and if you kill her after that, your team definitly has nothing left to deal with the others, wich were also fighting this whole time. That makes her toxic in a way. Fiora can do things in that phase of the game.

Vel'Koz on the other hand has a strong early game if no feeding is happening. He has poor scalings on most of the skills, but his basedmg is high enough to be dangerious with mpen only for a long time. Even late game, 300 ap are enough to meld squishies from 100 to 0, due his passive. I think mid Vel'Koz is viable but nothing better than placing hin in bot lane as a support. He has low mana costs, high base damage as I mentioned and CC. The only flaw is his 0 escapes. But warding properly protects him from this disadventage combined with the "unable to chase" stomp on his face - i mean - eye.

For me, I play Vel'Koz mainly as a sup. Sometimes mid, but it's a waste of his Q wich is outplayed easy by one person just with movement. However 2v2 you will hit with your Q. Then all his abilities are aoe, making them more viable for killing 2 enemies at the same time.

I really enjoy this hentai-beast, bot lane never has been so much fun. I normally focus on Sightstone, MPen boots and Morellonomicon. Twin Shadows and Liadry's are also situational viable. Void Staff shouldn't be missing for too long. A Rabadon is not required -> Voidstaff >>> Rabadon on Vel'Koz. And 40% CDR >>> everything! (passive)
