Veigar is not the problem

The real villain:

But isn't the only one, players mentality and riot's metagame are also to blame. No one builds defensive, because isn't worth anymore, and even if it is no one builds because everyone is so focus on damage.

You sit on 15k gold by the end of the game, but when we look at your build:

*Thanks the Lord for GA, but that MR and AR won't help you without HP or any other resist item.

Really guys, game will be more healthy if you build full damage and still take a lot of hits to die? That's what balance?

I am not saying Veigar is perfect, or fully balanced. But his status is only a reflection of the way League is heading, and nerf him won't change that. Someone will find some other champion that will 1HKO you, maybe Rengar, maybe Riven, maybe Brand..

HOW TO FIX IT: At least nerf or change and . Then rebalance the items so counter building became a thing.

A large part of the reason that people think veigar is kinda op right now is devourer. It seems unrelated but champions like veigar THRIVE when the enemy jungle does nothing but farm his own jungle, which is generally what happens in solo que. People pick yi or udyr or shyv or xin and just afk farm in the jungle for the most important part of the game. by the time they are ready to gank veigar he can 2 shot them. When will people understand that while you may have really good dps, it does you NO good if you die instantly.

More like the unnecessary buffs.

He can now freely roaming and pick up 5-15 AP from just assisting and basically, trapping someone in your cage without flash is guaranteed a kill. Usually the trade off was he missed out stacking Q, but no longer is punished for leaving lane.

Removing Dark Matter cast time also improved his reliability.

If Devourer was the reason he became strong, he should've been stronger earlier and any other time Wriggles/Feral showed it's ugly face (based on that logic)

"A large part of the reason that people think veigar is kinda op right now is devourer." - I leld I think its more because hes one of the best mid laners with summoner 12 , beats juggernauts with his broken E, has easy to get infinite AP scaling, a point and click nuke,...
