My personal view on the Veigar update.
For starters, I like the changes. They're exciting and I love the idea of his Q being a skillshot. Although, it starts to get a tad bit iffy. They say they want Veigar to remain as a quintessential burst mage, so I don't understand one thing-- why is it much harder to LAND his burst?
Okay. Another thing that I don't quite get. They want Veigar to trap people inside the cage and not instantly stun them, okay. But what isn't realized here is that Veigar can't torment them like Riot says so. Simply because he's like the squishiest character in the game and meta mids are bursty, so if he does this 'torment', he'd die instantly.
Honestly, at the moment, I see him more of a poke mage than burst because of his Q being so great. You're not going to be E >W>Q>R ing as you use to anymore, I forsee it just being spamming your baleful strike at the enemy team.
Overall, I feel as if he's been changed into a poke mage and not burst which riot wanted him to stay into. Further proof is that his ult's damage was lowered.
@meddler or whoever is concerned, I'd like to discuss this.
