Veigar rework feels like Cassiopeia 2.0 all over again

Warning: Rage incomming. Huge concerns that Riot still hasn't learned ANYTHING from what we experienced with Cassiopeia...
Just wow. Are you serious Riot? You are nerfing all of his abilities?
- Lower damage on his ultimate? I mean seriously, not that the rise of ADC casters already took away most of its power....
- Longer cooldown on his Q?
- HIS CC GETS A FREAKING 0.75s DELAY?
The last part alone ist overkill enough. He's a horrificly squishy champion with low movementspeed and ZERO mobiliyt tools. Now you take away that one thing that keeps him out of the unusable-section of the champion roster.
"But they compensate with lower mana cost..." CONGRATZ, after nerfing all mana intems into the ground you realize that lower mana costs are necessary?
Do you think pushing has mana consumption to the same level he pre-item-nerf puts him in a better spot? Do you think it helps him against the assassin heavy meta?
No, he would actually stay the same.
BUT instead you decided to nerf him as well. -2 +2 =1 right? "1 isn't balanced so we gotta add -1." That's your logic. You take mana items away, you add lower mana costs. And suddenly you start reasoning "now that he has lower mana consumption..." BULL$#§7
Seriously. You might as well remove him if this is your way to go. You haven't learned ANYTHING from horribly wrong the Cassiopeia rework went.
Your whole concept is wrong AGAIN, for your horrible design you will have to make up with numbers. To make it work numbers will have to be overtuned. As a result he will be nerfed agains.
We've seen it with Olaf, Skarner, Soraka and PBE changes indicate a similiar future for Cassiopeia.
Just please! Don't do that to Veigar.
