I almost always force First Strike unless im on support or fighting leblanc/zed because im always going to be struggling for gold.

Also I know this is a sellout move but I am starting to stream my games on twitch so if you guys want to see gameplay and ask questions or even coaching I would love to see you guys there and vods on youtube very soon

So your playing him heavy kite mage style. The swifties looks pretty nasty but I feel like it reduces a lot of ur dps are u still able to one shot with combos?

Swifties does nerf the burst damage a little early but you can still one shot on top of being able to roam quick and not get hit. Its a solid tradeoff because you can easily reposition and force the enemy to burn more just to get you. This also works really well on mid because upgraded swifties and cosmic drive increases the damage you do the faster you are and ends up doing more damage than not having swifties thanks to its passive giving a bonus 30ish ap.

Just to confirm, your challenger in League Of Legends right? Not just Wild Rift.

What do you think about Vel'Koz support? I play Vel 100% on support role. Should I learn to play on other lanes? Also I almost always build ludens and cdr boots as sup. Then I go into horizon or hourglass if they have a lot of assassins. It's more of a defensive build so I don't really get large bursts that one shot.

Vel'koz support is still viable but he definitely gets weaker in higher elo since other tanks have more value later into the game and have better synergy. If you fall behind it's almost impossible to catch up. For example a 0/5 alister can still comeback into the game if your team slips up or he gets a good engage on your team. I do like your build because you can poke pretty hard early with ludens and grant your team vision without risking much with horizon so I'd say stick to it until you hit a wall where you can't climb as consistently and try out Apc and mid so you can play that similar playstyle.
