Veigar can't stay like this!

Hi, I used to be a Veigar main and it makes me sad how bad he got since the dfg removal and now the 5.4 patch. The 5.4 patch had some good changes for veigar no doubt really, the lower cd and mana costs are awesome and the double stacking Q farming is godlike. BUT: his stun is now absolutely useless. Everytime you cast it the enemy will just walk in the middle of it and kill you (Lane opponent). And the extra range doesn't do anything since they can just run out if you hit them on the edge. :(
AND: without a proper stun his W (dark matter) becomes almost useless aswell. Almost every mid has an instant cc spell and can combine it with flash to engage, Veigar cant, he can only farm...might aswell go farmville huehue This makes him 0% viable compared to others midlaners or even supports! SO: My first idea is a to give the stun a lower range but to make it instantly appear again. Now since you guyswill probably never go back to old things, my second idea is A COMPLETE REWORK of the champion. The new Q mechanic can stay but the rest is really outdated and does'nt fit into the game anymore since it has become way more dynamic since veigars birth. Please do something Riot :) Greetings, Black Reap0r

Well, creating a champion based FULLY around one CC that you would either hit or be dead/useless otherwise was questionable to begin with, but surely, now Veigar is worse. Before, you could aim the cage to get people on the edge of it, and that would amount to a skillshot, still more fair than a full point and click stun...but now, pull this off it's impossible. If you try to aim the skill like before, people will have plenty of time to more either in or away from the cage, and possibly near enough to kill you with ranged or even melee skills. Now, Veigar should be "happy" if he manage to just get people in the cage without stun them...which makes his dark matter even more difficult to land.

Was Veigar really such an issue in the game to deserve this nerf? I frankly doubt it.

Old veigar was mediocre. Weak early game, average in late game. Quite unreliable to play in serious games unless you were really good. A lot of tough lane matchups and many counter items.

New Veigar is just such pile of crap I don't even..

Change anything, reduce his damage by 20% (which they did by the way), increase his cooldowns, sturn everything into skillshot but for gods sake - his stun MUST be instant.. Make it to tun only 1 person that walks through or something but don't add delay..
