I still didn't tried Veigar so I won't say the changes are bad or not, but 1 thing scares me a lot

I still didn't tried him out, so I won't discuss the changes. I like having data and knowledge without only relying on paper when the changes are more than only numbers. However, after reading again I realized something and I'm scared about his Q-E synergy on his kit, when comparing the problems he had.

1 of the reasons he wasn't picked much was due to his squishyness in lane, along with hard skill cap of course. But the way he was changed with Q will make him push lane way more, since it hits 2 targets now, and the safety will be lower due to delay on stun. See my point here? It severes the cons he had before to be picked. It's like making a Xerath or a Lux push lane more while delaying their CC.

The Q seems great to scale and seems a great farming ability, but the combination of these 2 changes just increase the problems he had to not be picked. At least it's what I believe, but needs to be tested of course. I hope on the next week that I'm wrong, when most people get used to his new kit, and it actually turns to a good champion, because he needs love, like 70% of champion pool at the moment (lcs stop picking same champions pls).

Good thoughts. I feel like it just evens it out for you though, because you would normally get pushed into tower, so this helps push out a little bit.

Veigar was played in LCS. Since he's not a hypermobile ADC or assassin, that's unacceptable.

Pushing the wave may or may not be problematic depending on how it is looked at. Its problematic if it ends up leaving you further up in the lane to be an easier gank target. It is beneficial if the extra pushing power means you don't get shoved into your tower as much losing minions that way.

Of course, you are more than welcome to back away from your opponent if the wave has already been shoved.
