Additional Vel'Koz Build Insights

League of Legends Vel'Koz players will likely find him to be a challenging champ to build out properly. You will find that his build varies when he is playing against either generic or homogenous team compositions, demonstrating you should not select the same Vel'Koz build every single round of League of Legends

The most important items to use in your champion's build include: Luden's Tempest, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shard of True Ice. Players who included these pieces in their kits had a better win rate than those who worked towards other Vel'Koz builds. Likewise, if you are playing a well-mixed enemy team comp, you should really consider grabbing yourself the Sorcery, and Inspiration runes. In recent matches, he won the greatest fraction of his games when built with these runes.

We set our Vel'Koz build recommendations by examining 45,914 recently ranked League of Legends games with him in them. We only advise the best winrate Vel'Koz builds that were built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to advise them. With so many rounds in our data, we are confident in our suggested builds.
