Damage
970Vladimir
1,446Vel'Koz
Vel'Koz heavily out-damages Vladimir by 476 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vladimir should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vel'Koz's sustained damage advantage take over.

Utility

Vel'Koz brings significantly more crowd control than Vladimir, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Vel'Koz far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
