Don't worry, it's just a small buff. He'll only get a little stronger from this. His playrate may rise, but it'll be short-lived.

I hate to admit that I stooped that low, but it is a little bit of a short joke...

WTF!

VEIGAR GETS LIKE 200 STACKS PER 30 MIN!

TheLastShadow4511 votes

Calm down, it's a multiplicative increase. So it takes a lot of stacks to get 100%.

Fairyfleur17 votes

Apparently it takes something like 2,560 stacks.

Primaquarius9 votes

This is if you CS well and hit a lot of spells on Champions, so stacks are varied

Spoofghoul1 votes

It's easy enough though

i mean all you need to do is poke enemies and make assists/kills to get a ton of stacks And ofc you will want to cs well

But i play full tank veigar for a reason

I mean i have like huge ap ratio's on pretty high base damage abilities ill be slinging 700 spell damage from range with my tank

and i have an ult on my E and a fu button on my R it's kinda funny

Yeah, and if I'm having a really good game I can average 10 stacks/min.

I saw this & started chuckling at this change. No doubt this is going to make Veigar Veigar alot stronger, However I don't think this will break him (At least not right away). Sure He'll be able to Rain down Projectiles that deal Precisely [100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300] (+ 100% AP), but he does have Mana costs. Currently, those Mana costs are as follows [60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80]. Assuming Veigar does not opt into buying Tear of the Goddess item 3070 (which would give him a much larger Mana Pool & Mana Refunds), Veigar could drain his entire pool before he knows it. Now if they do decide they want him to have this, but it ends up being really strong to the point he needs a nerf, they are going to do one or two things;

  1. Increase Mana Costs
  2. Reduce either base damage or AP Ratio.

can't agree. Viegar needs stats now, not later. If you're concerned about your regen you should pick up item 3165 or go right to your item 3285 to go for murder

I don't know about any of you, but I personally think this is EXACTLY what Veigar needs.

Dark Matter has felt lackluster since the delayed Event Horizon from the rework. Now, what you can do is throw down Event Horizon and then drop a barrage of meteors all over the caged area to try and maximize your damage. Isn't that exactly what a final boss like Veigar would do?

Combine that with the Sorcery keystone Meteor and Veigar is an incredibly dangerous, bursty champion even without his ultimate.

That's certainly an interesting way to look at it.

I mean, he can't just endlessly drop them; you need a TON of stacks for the 100% cooldown, but I don't mind him having it simply because it's such a tough shot to hit.

Votable Jester6 votes

Did you try getting to 110%? You can cast them into earlier parts of the game. [sg-syndra]

Into earlier games as well. Guess who just reached Diamond in season one, bois.

What the actual fuck. Veigar is unfun to lane against because of that ult PLEASE DO NOT BUFF IT MORE THAN IT ALREADY IS.

Skelenth6 votes

Thats not his ult

Nasus can have a 1 second Q, but Veigar pretty much can't have a 1 second W?

Hypocrisy at its finest.

notice me Sin pi4 votes

Nasus 1 sec Q only during highs, to be precise. Plus, he's a melee as well, unlike Veigar so it's pretty justified.

I Main Swain1 votes

as someone who very much loves veigar (my first mid laner) i can agree that its entirely justified

Bârd6 votes

It's the wrong kind of change.

Veig is meant to be deleting people, but this encourages him to mindlessly spam.

veigar in urf lol.

Solari Fortune1 votes

Oh Vandiril tried this already just that when he did go to test it, it was bugged

Athenes Lulu1 votes

Except that was a tooltip error, because the CDR has a soft cap at around 90%.

Not too sure about the exact numbers, but it does sound pretty misleading.

CrazedPorcupine1 votes

So, Quick calculation at how many stacks that Veigar needs to get to 100% CDR for his W is close to 10k stacks on his passive. NOW, to get to his W to under 2 seconds, at 40% CDR, you only need close to 600 stacks on his passive... OH WAIT, that's still insanely unfeasible. In most cases, this only reduces his W to about 3 seconds. even with 40% CDR.

close to 10k? sir, are you okay? it takes about 2.56k-3k stacks

deadlychuck1 votes

I might be confused on how Veigar's stacking works now, but i'm pretty sure it's just 1 stack per champion hit or minion kill with Q.

But assuming it's still a full stack, why would he need a few thousand stacks to make this work?

Shouldn't he only need a few hundred stacks? 500 if he has no CDR. 50 x 10 = 500 : 50 x 6 = 300

mrgiraffeweevil1 votes

The effect has some sort of multiplier each time you hit the cap needed for another 10%. You need like 2,500 stacks to get 100%, in which case Veig is probably 1 shotting anyways.

PrinceOfStorms1 votes

It's multiplicative. 50 stacks reduces it to 90%, 100 reduces it to 81%, then 73%, then 67%, 61%, and so on.

deadlychuck1 votes

It's multiplicative

Awe, ok. They should word it as "base cooldown by 10%", because it's one of very very few cases of non-additive CD in the game.

LadyRenly1 votes

Veigars W is useless before like, 30 minutes anyway. I usually forego W in exchange for a couple early q level ups anyway. It won't change the fact that Veigar has to pray his team doesnt lose the game before he hits the 30 minute mark
