How to win lane as Vel'Koz against Blitzcrank · 49.7% win rate over 3,119 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | You win level 1 because Blitz has no ranged poke and you dodge grabs behind minions. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | You win level 2 as your poke tempo punishes him while a hook risks hitting a creep. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | You win level 3 since Q-E-W out-trades a Blitz who can only grab. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | You win 4-5 because every whiffed hook gives you a long free-trade window. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | You win level 6 as your laser out-ranges his Rocket Grab distance. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | You win first item because Blackfire burst kills his ADC before he lands a combo. |
| Two+ items | Vel'Koz | You win with 2+ items since Deconstruction true damage melts his fragile frame. |
The entire lane is respecting Rocket Grab: keep a minion between you and Blitz at all times so a hook is wasted on creeps, and from that safe spacing your Plasma Fission out-pokes him freely. He has no ranged damage, so a whiffed grab means you and your ADC get a free trade. Never facecheck brush against him.
