  • Vel'Koz vs Thresh is an even matchup: Vel'Koz wins 49.4% of 385 games, and the 95% range (44.4–54.3%) comfortably includes 50%.
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 47.6% for Vel'Koz; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Vel'Koz usually wins the lane: 420 gold ahead of Thresh at 15 minutes on average (182 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Vel'Koz players pick Deep Ward much less often against Thresh: 14.2% of their other Support games, 8.1% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Vel'Koz and Thresh played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Vel'Koz's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Vel'Koz Build vs Thresh

Usual Vel'Koz build (Support)

53.8% win rate · 132 games

Against Thresh

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 9 of 60 Vel'Koz games against Thresh carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Vel'Koz's standard build instead.

  • Vel'Koz usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 13.3 min (median of 117 games).
  • Thresh usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.6 min (median of 150 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
