Veigar's useless E, and how to fix it. [@Riot]
The Problem: When Veigar's E was nerfed, I feel there wasn't enough thought put into it. It was OP, and changing it is probably for the best, but I don't think you took the right approach. Veigar's E is probably one of the most important parts of his kit, and by adding a delay, it ruins his sustain in lane.
The Solution: I think his E should be changed so that it traps somebody in the middle, but not stun them instantly, like you talked about. Adding a delay won't fix this. It will only make it so you can only land his stun if the enemy isn't paying attention to their screen. At that point, you wouldn't need to stun them, now would you? I propose that his E isn't a stun, but a circular wall instead. You could make it a little smaller, and while you're at it, add some fancy new textures, because why not?
Pros of E:
- The area will be just small enough so that if you W right in the middle, it will hit any enemy inside the wall, no matter where they are
- There's no delay, so you can surprise enemies
- Enemies trapped can't escape unless using flash/abilities
Cons of E:
- Enemies with teleport abilities can escape, leaving more counter-room for Veigar
- Enemies can still attack and use abilities
- If there's no way out, you can at least die spamming your laugh
One final thing, if you're not gonna change Veigar's E, at least let me refund my skins for him. KTHXBAI
