Cost: 1350 RP | Release Date: February 27, 2014
Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void, is a powerful and enigmatic champion in the world of League of Legends. With his insatiable hunger for knowledge and his relentless pursuit of understanding, Vel'Koz seeks to unravel the mysteries of the universe. As a Voidborn creature, he possesses immense power and a unique perspective on the world.
One of Vel'Koz's most striking appearances is his Battlecast Vel'Koz skin. This skin transforms him into a fearsome machine of destruction, showcasing the power of the Battlecast faction. With its intricate design and menacing presence, Battlecast Vel'Koz is a sight to behold on the Summoner's Rift.
Battlecast Vel'Koz features a complete visual overhaul, replacing his organic form with a mechanical one. His body is composed of cold, metallic plates, and his tentacles are replaced with sharp, mechanical appendages. The skin incorporates a vibrant color scheme, with shades of red, orange, and black dominating his appearance. The attention to detail is remarkable, with gears, pistons, and other mechanical elements visible throughout his body.
Not only does Battlecast Vel'Koz have a visually stunning design, but it also includes new animations and sound effects. His abilities are transformed into devastating mechanical attacks, with each ability showcasing the destructive power of Battlecast technology. From his Q ability, Plasma Fission, to his ultimate ability, Lifeform Disintegration Ray, every spell is visually enhanced to match the skin's theme.
Vel'Koz's lore and story within the League of Legends universe is equally fascinating. As an entity from the Void, Vel'Koz is driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world and its inhabitants. He seeks to understand the nature of existence and the underlying principles that govern the universe. Vel'Koz believes that knowledge is power, and he will stop at nothing to acquire it.
In the game, Vel'Koz is a mage champion known for his long-range poke and high burst damage. His passive ability, Organic Deconstruction, allows him to deal bonus true damage to enemies hit by his abilities. This makes him a formidable opponent in team fights, as he can quickly eliminate squishy targets. Vel'Koz's Q ability, Plasma Fission, fires a bolt of energy that splits upon hitting an enemy, dealing damage to all nearby enemies. His W ability, Void Rift, creates a rift that damages and slows enemies who pass through it. His E ability, Tectonic Disruption, sends out a shockwave that knocks up enemies and applies a slow. Finally, his ultimate ability, Lifeform Disintegration Ray, fires a massive laser beam that deals significant damage to all enemies in its path.
Vel'Koz's strengths lie in his long-range poke, high burst damage, and ability to control team fights. He excels at sieging objectives and dealing damage from a safe distance. However, he is relatively immobile and vulnerable to assassins and champions who can close the gap quickly. Vel'Koz relies heavily on hitting skill shots to maximize his damage output, making him a high skill-cap champion.
Vel'Koz's place in the game is primarily as a mid-lane mage. His long-range abilities and wave-clearing potential make him an excellent choice for controlling the mid lane and roaming to other lanes to assist his teammates. He can also be played as a support, utilizing his crowd control abilities to set up kills for his ADC.

Lore:
It is unclear if Vel'Koz was the first Void-spawn to emerge on Runeterra, but there has certainly never been another to match his level of cruel, calculating sentience. While his kin devour or defile everything around them, he seeks instead to scrutinize and study the physical realm—and the strange, warlike beings that dwell there—for any weakness the Void might exploit. But Vel'Koz is far from a passive observer, striking back at threats with deadly plasma, or by disrupting the very fabric of the world itself.
Ally tips:
When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities. Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off. Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.
Enemy tips:
Vel'Koz is very dangerous if left alone in a fight. Try to focus him down early.Vel'Koz has fairly low mobility and is vulnerable to ganks.Life Form Disintegration Ray can be interrupted by stuns, silences and knockups.
