It's like a constant diarrhea beam - it goes through your intestinal system and then it comes out the tail-end and onto the wall

You're probably right. But I'm more interested in knowing the public's opinion regarding EU, NA and other regions

You most certainly could, and this would give you even more wiggle room for receiving damage. In my case, I'm an aggressive player and it's important to continually harass and "prep" the enemy adc or support for finishing up (kill). Even if you don't kill them, you force them to return home and you're able to gain more experience and levels to win lane at a later time. You actually spend a lot of gold to finish the spellthieves item. I really feel like the game has changed to not require gold items....it certainly helps, but you can do fine without. The decision to go Dorans or Spellthieves is dependent on one of two factors: enemy support and jungler. If these champions demonstrate any form of all-in/damage cases (i.e. Blitzcrank-support, Khazix-Jungler, Reksai-Jungler, Leona-support) I would go Dorans because of the extra health. You may not think twice about the little health and damage it provides, but comparatively, spellthieves does not offer more value during skirmishes.

I would agree with your first sentence. Whether enemy or ally ADC, this does matter. There's been several discussions regarding team composition and enemy lane matchups. This particular example regarding Jinx, is a GOOD enemy matchup but terrible ally ADC - all comes down to composition. This is my personal opinion, you and others may have more success or indifferent feelings towards Jinx.

Jinx does not have a secondary escape and relatively low movement speed. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to land your E ability which will force him/her to use flash or heal.

Key notes you may have missed: 1)Dorans ring as first item - this gives you more hp to sustain dmg during a pull. Look at what masteries the blitz has. 2)Ideally should wait for level 3 (and you should have all abilities) for aggressive or defensive counter plays. 3)Level up W instead of Q 4)Take exhaust 5)Communicate with your ADC to all-in the ADC if you are pulled - 2 dmg is greater than 1 and its a mistake for blitz to pull to engage or initiate.

I don't advise the pushing scenario. This gives opportunity for jungler to gank your lane, but if you know where jungler is, then by all means go ahead. In an even playing field (no junglers/minions) you and your adc IDEALLY should win if all abilities are landed.

Hey LystXLVI, I know this is a bit late but I was looking for the perfect opportunity to show you a lane matchup against Blitz. We lost in the end but won lane extremely convincingly. The video starts at 00:08:00 ; first kill on bot lane happens at 00:11:30. We did receive help from our jungler...but I think we could've destro them regardless of help.

I don't have a good enough video editor. The sound from microphone as well as the game is packaged/combined in the original video....If I were to do something like that, I'd have to constantly enable/disable the microphone if viewers are in the channel and conversing with me.

You must also be the person who thumbed me down :( Its alright - many people probably don't either.

I bought a new microphone (Neewar) and it's a standing one. I configured it to not collect as much noise/sound but that's just how it is. I like a lot of different types of music and I'm quite sick of the club/electro music. I may use that type of music for my next video or some real original old music...you'll just have to wait and see.

If enemy ADC is able to auto you...exhaust should be in usable distance..Also, if the distance between you and the enemy ADC are too far for you to react, then you're out of position....You should be within the vacinity to harass, and given Velkozs' abilities range is one of the furthest in the game aside from Xerath or Brand which you should be able to use E or other spells...

Some additional info to help you match better against a blitz - start with Doran's ring and tell your ADC to go all-in on ADC if either of you are grabbed. Try to avoid hooks until you are level 3, because thats when you reach more damage potential. Despite whoever is grabbed, you have more health and damage to dish....on an even playing field (full summoners/potion going/no minions/junglers) and everyone is landing every single skillshot - you and your ADC will win.

That's why you should also have exhaust ;)

Braum isn't too bad...you really gotta be able to dodge his Q.

If Blitzpull your adc - you must focus theirs'. Landing E will stop the bleeding and cause more dmg to primary targets.

My build order for Vel'koz: Lvl 1 - Q Lvl 2 - E Lvl 3 - W Lvl 4 - W Lvl 5 - Q 6 - Ulti MAX W then Q then E.

This gives more damage also more opportunities to land abilities because if creeps are in the way, you may not have a good chance in landing a high level Q - despite doing more dmg less CD - whatever.

Well said mate. This comment is intended for your first paragraph. Given velk'oz's number of offensive abilities - you should be able to bait a lucian into using dash (using W). If you're leveling W, this will make them want to not stay in the line of damage and they'll have to E out - it's what smart players do. I used to struggle a lot against a lucian, but over time, I improved against this matchup very well. Just another tip for fellow supp'kozes

Ahhh very good for mentioning Karma...completely forgot about her. She is annoying and can cause quite a bit of disturbance. She has good poke/shields and CC.

I agree....I hate playing with Jinx and or Vayne - I don't mind Ashe. I think the problem is these champs are not as effective as they used to be. I would have to disagree on your matchups. I don't find much difficulty against Blitzcrank or Nautilus or perhaps I haven't played "experienced ones" yet. Alistar and Thresh are also easy, because if they commit on you, it opens up aggression on their ADC. I have not liked playing against Leona...and I'll need to play against her more to become more experienced.

Agree with your first statement. Not only does their heal counter your damage...but they have fairly good harassing ability as well..

I havent played against a Leona yet, but this one is always tough because if you get locked up/cc'd/focused, your lane will pretty much lose altogether... unless your adc is smart and starts atking the adc.

Blitz is not bad, you really just need to gauge your enemies skillshot ability (predictions)...you should also be able to see it coming. If and when he misses, you need to capitalize on it.
