Veigar, the Master of Evil and Trumping Two Ultimates with One Normal Skill

Okay, we all know the little black mage known as Veigar . He's seen a good amount of professional play and I believe is starting to get into solo que as a power pick. And it is easy to see why. Veigars kit is very powerful, his Q is a skill shot that grants permanent AP on kill, his W calls down an ungodly amount of damage as it scales off 100% of his AP and his E creates a zone of perfect crowd control for 3 seconds. Finally we have his Ultimate skill that not only scales off 100% of his AP but also uses 80% of the targets AP resulting in it almost always one-shoting any AP biased champion that the skill hits. While I do believe that no champion should be allowed to have 100% AP scaling is excessive, especially when 2 of his 4 skills have that level of scaling, that is not my main point. What I wish to point out is that Veigar get a Crowd Control effect that has very little chance of escape and is potentially a hazard for up to 5.5 seconds after its casing. Veigar's Event Horizon creates an area of crowd control that trumps all other skills of its type, including supposed "ultimate" skills.

The first example I would like to bring up is Leona . Leona's ultimate skill Solar Flare creates an instantaneous burst of crowd control that scales off 80% of her AP and only stuns targets that are in the center of it slowing all others by 80% for 1.5 seconds. In comparison Veigar's E creates an area slightly larger then Solar Flare but units cough within the skill can not pass the perimeter with the singular exception of the Flash summoner spell. While Event Horizon dose no damage it compensates for this by lasting a minimum of 3 seconds and leaving victims stunned for a minimum of 1.5.

The second example I will go in-depth with is Thresh . Thresh's ultimate skill The Box, is a very similar skill to Veigar's E, in fact their animation is eerily similar. The one big difference is that Thresh's box can only harm one target and deals at most 550 + 100% AP with a 99% slow for 2 seconds while anyone past the first only gets the slow. While Thresh's ultimate can be quite powerful it still lacks the zone control of Event Horizon as The Box at least can be thwarted by one member of the team biting the bullet and soaking up the damage allowing for the rest of the team to either proceed through the newly broken side of The Box or only take a 2 second slow.

In short concussion Veigar 's E, a skill a player may take at first level should they choose, out performs the ultimate skill of 2 other AP biased champions who, while having very different play stiles from each other as well as Veigar, are still easily comparable. Should Riot see the validity of this argument or at the very least seek to humor the idea of making things seem a bit more fair, I propose that Veigar's E be maid so that if the edge lands on a unit they are stunned, but if they walk into it after they are silenced for the same duration as the stun would have been. As many of Veigars typical lane opponents are skill biased the silence would force them to flee from The "Master of Evil" rather then try to fight him. At the same time if a Veigar player was particularly skilled they could land the edge of the Event Horizon on their target resulting in the stun. This would open up opportunities for counter play as well as add another method of inducing mass silence to the game.
