I use quick cast with range indicators, and it has helped my skillshot accuracy SIGNIFICANTLY - especially with Vel'Koz. Particularly with his E, having the range indicator is super helpful. I've found that Vel doesn't necessarily need a huge front line to be effective, although it obviously helps. The great thing about Vel is casting W without stopping movement means he's a monster at kiting, and his true damage + natural propensity to itemize magic pen (I buy Liandry's as a second item whenever I can) make him a strong tank buster. The only thing tricky is figuring out when to plant and shoot your ult, but that's normally just something you develop with good game sense. You wait until your in a position to do your best damage with it, in a situation where you're not in immediate danger of getting dove and interrupted/ killed.

As for early lane, his Q is nice for harass, but I honestly don't worry too much about dominating my lane, and just max W for pushing power. Sure - if they're gonna take free harass, I'll dish it out. But I'm more concerned with farming safely, because Vel is a fucking monster come mid game and late game. Once you hit 6, you can use ult on CD to harass the enemy laner and establish lane dominance, or you can save it for a jungle gank or skirmish. Either way is fine, as long as you line up a good ult, it will do a shitload of damage.
