with 100k mastery points+ on this guy im pretty proud that ive found a build that complements my playstyle. it looks really wonky on paper but i get very consistent results, although many people disagree with it. can't argue with match history.

too long won't read version: morellos/athenes->aether wisp-> lucidity->ludens->void staff->rabadons->situational sixth, usually mejais

i rush morello's/athene's depending on matchup into aether wisp because i value the ap and movespeed it provides. then i go into lucidity boots, because instead of cooldown runes i prefer movement speed quints. theyre EXTREMELY useful on a kiting mage than more unnecessary magic pen will ever be. after that i finish the wisp into ludens and then build void staff, since this is the part where you actually start needing mpen. My fifth item is Rabadon's since it's already late game and your base damages start to not mean much, thus the shift of focus from mPen to raw AP. The sixth item is entirely situational, although to be honest I usually just stick mejais in there wether winning or losing because I find the other AP items quite useless.

-liandrys has more unnecessary mpen i dont need or desire, along with a useless passive (oh boy burned garen for 40 damage that'll show him) and unneeded health.

- twin shadows provides movespeed, yeah, but the unneeded cdr and the unnecessary passive (for my build at least) make this a suboptimal, last ditch sixth item.

- you shouldnt even need zhonyas if you play velkoz right and keep in the backline away from assassins, and its only useful if you get caught out in the brush by yourself as an attempt to wait for your teammates to help. you shouldnt even be exploring unwarded areas as an immobile mage, anyway.

with mejais, as long as you play correctly, you will ALWAYS get stacks. Vel has too much AoE to NOT get assists, much like brand. Just don't die, which really shouldnt be too hard.

thats the gist of it. Just move around everywhere at the speed of sound throwing a lasershow at your enemies. gg.

Also, ALWAYS max W, unless support. The amount of mid velkoz that maxes Q hurts.
