How to play it

✓

Bait his E

His E is his self-peel: after level 6, the moment he uses it you can all-in him.

✓

Punish in E range

If he ever walks into your E range, punish him: that's the mistake you're waiting for.

✓

Dodge and farm

Learn to dodge his abilities and you'll be fine just farming: this is a winning lane.

✕

Never commit an all-in while your own E is on cooldown: that's the only time Vel'Koz gets to punish you.

Katarina vs Vel'Koz in Mid lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his E is his only way to peel you off, respect it, then pounce the moment it's on cooldown.
