Biggest advantage for Vel ' koz compared to Brand is that even less people know how to play against him . Compared to him , Brand is much more wellknown in terms of what he can do and the damage he brings , since people don ' t respect the passive proc and true damage from Vel ' koz enough . However , he is easier to abuse once you know how he works , as he really depends on landing his E to land his combo and his ult also roots him as well . You can totally abuse him playing into people who are unfamiliar with Vel ' koz bot I OTP ' d him with 68 % WR G 4 P 3 , but overall I feel Zyra will bring you more consistent results compared to either Brand or Vel ' koz , unless you play them much better than Zyra which was my case .
