So, the Veigar changes.

Salt Miner 49 Er··3 votes·441 views

Veigar, one of the squishiest and immobile champions in the game with a position heavy stun had it nerfed by giving off a .75 second delay to let enemies know "WALK OUT" before it even pops up. A champion who's entire existence has only ever been to punish AP mid champions for building AP and letting him snowball out of control.

Sure, he was probably the strongest burst mage potentially in the game for the longest time, but here's the thing. Mobility and LC$ now rule League of Legends like an iron fist. Veigar was nerfed because he was big in Korea as a Support with his playpen, which is pretty irrelevant as far as NA players are concerned because we operate on a seperate meta. Kassadin was nerfed because he was "too mobile" even though each consecutive use of his Void Walk ramped up the mana cost.

Honest opinion?

Veigar got nerfed because of his ability to shut down the "BIG PLAYS" that Riot keeps going for with the LCS since they don't want League to turn into a "boring farm fest". Yet ironically, Irelia hasn't had meaningful nerfs in 3 years. Good job Morello.

"buffed" and "still not as good as his old 47% win rate" have 2 different meanings. what riot is "buffing" still wont put him back up to what he was. veigar cant stay safe and lane properly, what they're doing is preventing dashers from leaving the ring AFTER the wind up. that still gives people a whole half second+ to press their escape in any direction and kill veigar. even still, name all the mid lane champions that have dashes.

and as usual, anyone can flash out and not be stunned.

akali, corki, ahri, nidalee, azir(lol), and diana. thats it, newsflash, still a ton more champs out there who still wont give a crap about the "no dash" change.

champs like zed, katarina, lissandra, and leblanc who have teleports still wont care and will continue to destroy him.

veigar has zero chance against poke champs like ziggs, xerath, syndra, lux, velkoz, and viktor who have way more range.

so that raises the question "who is veigar good against, or who will he become good against with these changes"

currently veigars only good against karthus (so is every other champion who decides to go mid) brand, and heimerdinger

leblancs W is a dash, its recast is a blink but veigar's new E will stop her initial W cast

Veigar who?

Veigar was nerfed because they could not let him be good while keeping that spell as it was. He was one of those champions that when even decent made such a huge game changing impact on the game.

thats only because players refused to build QSS GA or BV to completely counter a major source of damage on the enemy team. players still didn't grasp that.

anyone who actually believes in LC$ conspiracies is a dumb nerd
