You acknoledged that veigar is weak, and you have some "compensation" for him. For those who don't know, Veigar's E had a delay of 1.00, they reduced it to .75, and that dashes are now stopped AFTER the wall is up.

IMO, this will hardly fix any of his problems, you can STILL dash away before the walls were up which used to be the problem in the first place. In fact, the new ideas they have in mind seem very "messy" and looking at community ideas, it seems like a total 180 change of veigar's playstyle into a poke mage

Now, Riot acknoledged that Veigar is "weak". Now, you don't change a champion unless they're either "Too strong" or "Unhealthy". No one in the community complained he was either of those ( Maybe your e-sports proffessionals QQ'd we don't know). But we do say that he's "too weak" and you also say he's "too weak"

Why not just revert the changes for 1 cycle and see how it goes? Why not admit that you made a mistake like you did for many others like, The jungle, mana regen, Mordekaiser etc ( The jungle is getting it's damage reduced btw, something that should've been done waaay back)

We want our evil little yordle the way he was. You might say change is "unwelcomed" but mark my words, these changes are hardly gonna bring his power back

tldr; Riot is changing veigar's playstyle. No longer can he catch out someone and burst them down. He's now a poke/ zone mage without reliable poke ( q range is too less) and pathetic zoning ( compared to viktor's stun)

Who? I've never seen this "Veigar" champion you speak of in the LCS. Is this a champion in the works? Let's try to keep focused on the 30 or so champions they've released so far.

Veigar wasn't particularly strong before, and certainly isn't strong at all right now, but because of the way his E worked (instant AoE stun) Riot could never allow him more power. Zilean was on the same boat with his Q. I'm glad they've changed the way his Veigar's E works, and I'm looking forward to what's on the PBE for him. Maybe he'll end up seeing more play than before. That said, I'm very dissapointed at the way Riot has been handling nerfs lately (Azir Kassadin ) and also a few of the reworks (Zilean Veigar Cassiopeia) , but those I can somewhat understand. That isn't to say I don't like the reworks, I just don't like how under-tuned they are at release.
