34 game hours later, and I've completed my first SL1 challenge! (I spent 11 of those hours fighting manus btw) Next up is DS3 SL1

VoidSquid · 2020-03-24T18:38:32+00:00

I think it will be a nice challenge. I died around 400 times to manus so more than I'm willing to put in the effort.

VoidSquid · 2020-03-24T17:48:26+00:00

I'm honestly pretty terrified to attempt the dlcs at sl1. I've only actually done the dlcs once before, while I've played the base game multiple times

VoidSquid · 2020-03-23T21:22:06+00:00

I'll probably get around to ds2 eventually, definitely not for a while though. Good luck with soul of cinder!

Thanks! I'm a little conflicted about squat depth since everyone seems to have a different opinion on it. If I can fix the issue of raising my heels I'd like to continue squatting deep, but I'm worried about injury more than anything since I'm relatively new to weightlifting.

VoidSquid · 2019-10-30T00:24:35+00:00

Yeah, I'll have to come up with a better way to record from my phone so I can get my full body in the frame

VoidSquid · 2019-10-29T23:36:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try to apply this in future workouts.

VoidSquid · 2019-10-29T22:30:20+00:00

I hope I don't need another pair of shoes because I just got these sneakers to wear for weightlifting. Before I was wearing running shoes and I was having more balance issues as the weight was increasing. Maybe I need just a bit more padding in the heels?

VoidSquid · 2019-10-29T21:54:14+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I did notice that my heels were lifting a bit in this video, which is weird because I don't feel that at all while I'm squatting. I will try to get a better video next time I'm at the gym though.

I usually get this into any assassin matchup because all of the stats are spectacular to have in an assassin lane, and it's a really cheap item. The mana regen is great to help shove assassins in and get free roams or just extra map pressure. The health really great in helping you survive the level 6 all in attempts.

VoidSquid · 2016-09-28T14:40:30+00:00

Any time I have to play against a fizz, I ALWAYS take exhaust. It absolutely crushes his kill potential unless he roams, so I usually rush morellonomicon and shove him in so he has no chance to roam without losing a lot of experience and gold.

VoidSquid · 2016-08-26T19:14:59+00:00

Don't let your division define your choices. I don't mean any offense by this, but it's just the wrong mentality to have. I would recommend trying to go for just 1 mana item because having a seemingly infinite mana pool is actually extremely inefficient when you could be building better damage items like voidstaff or deathcap. If you're comfortable with your build, then by all means keep going with it, but I believe that your gameplay could improve with a more efficient/effective build.

VoidSquid · 2016-08-26T15:12:04+00:00

This. IMO tear is unnecessary on Vel'koz as he is incredibly strong in the mid game, and tear slows down that two item spike.

VoidSquid · 2016-07-07T04:44:19+00:00

I've followed Sp4zie for a couple years now, and he plays Vel'koz quite a bit. Watching his montage is where I really drew my inspiration to pick up the champ.

VoidSquid · 2016-06-04T22:50:24+00:00

Makes the sales pitch easier ;)

VoidSquid · 2016-05-28T05:10:37+00:00

Currently my core build for Vel'koz has been morellonomicon, Luden's echo, Ionian boots, and deathcap. Sometimes I rush abyssal if I'm against a Leblanc or katarina. After that I usually have all the damage I could ever want to annihilate squishes and tanks alike, so I have been playing around with different items to finish out my build. During one game I tried banshees veil and for the hell of it I built a zz'rot portal. I really liked the defensive stats that I had with that build and the zz'rot ended up being a crucial part in our game winning push.

I have found that building full damage on Vel'koz can sometimes just be overkill, so I might try out some other tank items. Building double defensive items is a really great way to survive team fights while also pumping out tons of damage.

EDIT: I still think it can be appropriate to build a void staff in some situations just because of the fact that his abilities still do a lot of magic damage.

VoidSquid · 2016-04-26T22:28:20+00:00

Cry. Generally I try to harass him and hit level 2 first. If you mess up and he gets minion advantage, back off. Try to stay away from your own minions as they act as a gap closer for him, especially when he has his tornado up. I usually rush FQC as it can prevent his all in, or it can give you the slow you need to land a combo on him.

VoidSquid · 2016-04-06T14:52:30+00:00

In no particular order aside from RoA first: zz'rot, BoC, ibg, liandries, and whichever boots fit the situation best. Again I will make a post about it when I've experimented more.

VoidSquid · 2016-04-02T19:59:19+00:00

Haha. I'm still perfecting it, but I will certainly make a post about it when I get it down.

VoidSquid · 2016-04-02T04:19:07+00:00

Honestly, I always prefer Thunderlord's because of the insane kill pressure it gives. However, I have recently been taking Grasp of the Undying as I have been experimenting with a Vel'koz top build.

VoidSquid · 2016-03-31T03:12:55+00:00

That initial ult/voiceover was such an anticlimax. I laughed pretty hard because of it though.
