How to Use Vel'Koz Counter Data

This page works out which champions Vel’Koz struggles against and which ones it beats, using live ranked matchup numbers for Support. At present, Amumu, Elise and Ekko give Vel’Koz its weakest results in the data. Amumu is the hardest matchup of all, with Vel’Koz winning only 41.9% of 105 recorded games. Anivia, Cassiopeia and Irelia are the opposite: Vel’Koz does well against them, so they are safer matchups to take on.

Every card lists Vel’Koz’s win rate along with the sample size behind it. A matchup backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags come straight from the win rate, with anything under 48% marked Hard and anything over 52% marked Easy. They’re a quick visual guide and not a separate statistic. The figures cover ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, on patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. A counter list only tells part of the story, so pair it with the current Vel’Koz build for the best items and runes, or open the Vel’Koz champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
