Or easy to play hard to master? Or just a Easy champ in general?

He has 2 skill shots His q is pretty easy to land His w is only easy if you stunned the opponent His e is pretty easy to use but when facing skilled people they know to avoid the sides

His ult just a point and click nuke

Low mobility

If he misses his combo he pretty much dead or going to get punished for it.

Alot better late game then early because of the stacks

So based on the facts (might of missed some)

What do you guys think?

He's fairly simple to play mechanically and thus has a both low skillfloor and cap.

However, with how immobile and late-game oriented he is, the difference in actually good Veigar players and lesser skilled Veigar players will be how well they can deal with assassins or other champions with gapclosers or otherwise ways to easily circumvent his kit/stun.

Also the consistency with getting a good cage/stun, because good players can avoid it quite easily, but good Veigar players can also make it very hard to avoid or otherwise put them in between two bad choices (go into their stun or something else bad like the rest of his team, or leaving a teamfight for an objective, etc etc).

Pretty much like Nasus, you need to stack to become stronger, but your low mobility makes it hard for you to either catch up to foes and if you miss your E on enemies trying to catch you, you're fucked.

I tend to take stormraider's surge since the insane combo you do makes you run really fast to make up for lack of mobility.

You can always take TLD if yo still want the one shot, however, you can't one shot the entire team unless farming for over an hour.

I think he's easy overall. As long as you can get a good E, you can easily wombo your enemy. As you mentioned, W can be hard to land on an opponent who isn't debuffed. So really, you only have two skills to learn well and neither of them should take that long to practice.

Veigar is a pretty simple champion. He only really has one burst combo: E > W > Q > R which is pretty easy to land if they get stunned. He's very strong late game if your team can peel assassins and divers off of you. Landing a good E onto a few squishies and using W immediately after can easily chunk 80% of their health, and it's hilarious to be able to burst down a tank with a fair amount of MR as though they were a squishy if you have 1000+ AP and a void staff xD.

Because his kit is rather straightforward there's only so much he can do with him compared to more complicated champions, so he can be difficult to win games with if the enemy team knows how to deal with him (merc. treads, banshee's veil, focusing him in team fights, avoiding his E, etc...)

Easy to play true. However, most immobile Mages require more knowledge of other champions than of their own since they mainly just need to know a few rotations and positioning. They more need to know what range can Zed engage from and such. Immobile mages require more game knowledge than personal game knowledge.

It's usually a pretty easy to see OP Immobile Mage if they require little game knowledge to perform extremely well.
