Random Veigar buff idea: Steerable W
I was trying to think of ways to make Veigar stronger while still maintaining Counterplay, and had an idea.
When first starting LoL, I played Veigar because he was damn funny and he felt powerful. Obviously I was not playing him very well, but one of my favorite parts of his kit was using his W to poke in lane-you know, like nobody past level 10 does because anyone can dodge it-but since I was so early level a lot of people would not notice the shadow and sound and they'd get hit. I always envisioned it almost like a Looney Tunes anvil falling from the sky.
Now, in Looney Tunes there's always the recurring gag where they try to step out of the falling anvil (having learned their lesson from last time) and the shadow follows then around until they get hit.
What if, while W were cast, Veigar could re-cast it once to cause it to move in the indicated direction, allowing him to follow people trying to juke and turning a somewhat dull skill (I have to cast when people CANT PHYSICALLY DODGE) into a fun little mini-game (was that a short joke? Maybe) for a champ who's kit is simple enough to accommodate one and not have it be overwhelming.
TL;DR: Allow Veigar to torment his foes by adding an optional re-cast to his W, causing it to move in the direction of the cursor. That would allow the tiny master of evil a response to jukes and mobility while making sure W isn't TOO reliable.
