How to Beat Vel'Koz as Yuumi (Support)

While statistically Yuumi is slightly stronger than Vel'Koz as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Yuumi deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Vel'Koz deals primarily magic damage (72.66%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Vel'Koz, ranking 21st (versus 51st for Yuumi) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 4.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yuumi Support versus Vel'Koz Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yuumi player to maintain constant pressure on Vel'Koz, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
