These are the changes that are going to hit Veigar Veigar on PBE. As always are just as testing, but while i am not disappointed by their work the direction it goes does not leave me totally happy.

TL;DR of PBE, Q is a 2-hit skillshot and E has delay, plus balance stuff.

What i do mean is that i hoped the Q, that is becoming a skillshot ( apparently even a fun and farm-efficent one) , would have remained as a single target spell; don' t get me wrong, as it is live is bulls@*t both for him and the target but anyway i hoped for that because i wanted to see a more in-depth functioning for a single target skill. Skillshots are fun, but they are crowding the champion kits and are becoming annoying and Veigar was a good candidate to keep a single target skill ( because of farming ) but with a skill depth of sorts, same applies to R that got just "tolerated" and still has the enemy AP scaling, that i really loathe. However i was not expecting very much, since this is just a slight kit change/rework and they can' t resource-wise do heavy stuff, i wanted these E changes from along long time and i believe it will be fun to trap the enemy in a cage and looking at him struggle to avoid skillshots and meteors thrown in the corners, feeling like a evil sadistic magician it would be, but i can't shake off the feel of the missed opportunity.

Toughts? what do you expect from future pbe patches?

This "nerf" to hus stun was to be expected. And I think they managed it well.

Though Q changes are quite controversial. I agree with you that it seems more natiral for it to be one target spell. And this 2-hit skillshot seems nonsensical.

Also he got cooldown reduced on three of his abilities. (W,E,R) he will be dealing a lot more AoE damage now. I am afraid that he will be able to burst not one targets but two.

But otherwise I am not against these changes and I am really curious how it will turn up.

Me either, plus i always saw him more as a classic nuker mage ( nuker in the sense he generically deals lot of damage, in this case aoe ) with a single target skill for finishing enemies, and who was foolish enough to get the damage had to be aware of his burst. reality is far different from this, but with these changes might be nearer. Still, dat Q...

That Q skillshot change is huge. Everything else seems fine.

Sorta bummed they didnt rework his passive at all.

His passive defines his lane phase: he can ( could?) chain skills too much well, and with that passive he has crazy regen but only as long he has few mana, so he can' t chain very much but can farm a lot so he can either reserve for a chain or spam and go on reserve. Probably it was just too much overtuned in mana cost anyway, so they reduced them, so is fine to me.
