On today's PBE patch you guys reverted Veigar's Baleful Strike range buff. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2016/08/811-pbe-update.html Are you still planning to buff him in another way or just believe that he's in a nice spot right now?

I don't think they can afford to buff him any more in his current state. Basically veigar is a time bomb, if you can't destroy him early, he scales into an opaf monster which often can happen outside of pro play.

I don't think they can really buff his damage or range until they nerf his stun zone a bit, because placing a zone basically still causes whoever is in it to die whether or not they get stunned because of the range and area of his other abilities.

If it were up to me, I would either increase the size of his stun zone, increase the setup time by .1 to .15 seconds, or decrease the placement range of the ability. Then he can afford a buff.

That's my opinion anyway.

Why would they buff him? Imo after the Mage rework he became very strong (I played home to mastery 5 after the rework)

IMO, I love him just the way he is right now. No buffs, no nerfs.

he isn't really in a nice spot. he struggles if he can't land a stun. his ult isn't a nuke anymore. and his skill shots are easy to dodge.
