What I think Veigar's event horizon should do.

Viegar- event horizon- Proposed change: The event horizon takes longer to form. As the dark obelisks slowly rise from the ground It creates an area that slows enemies starting at a 1% penalty, and steadily increasing to 50% over the course of 1.5 seconds, at this point the singularity is complete and enemies who begin in, or move into the area of effect are pulled into the center and have their movement speed reduced by 99% until the event horizon disappears 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 later. Enemy projectiles that pass through the completed singularity are destroyed.

I think that this effect fits the name of the ability better than the current one. The increased delay should balance out with the powerful effect, while the slowly rising obelisks reflect the ominous nature of the spell. Any balance issues I'm overlooking? What do you think about this, Riot?

Let me offer a slight variance of this:

Upon cast a singularity forms at target location starting out small and growing bigger over the duration of the spell. Initially the singularity slows by 1% ramping up heavily to a 99% slow over [duration]. If an enemy (excluding epic monsters) movement speed is reduced below 100 they are pulled to the center of the singularity. At the end of the [duration] the singularity explodes?/implodes? and enemy's are stunned for [duration] and dealt [damage].

Size of the aoe, duration of the ramp up, stun duration and damage would have to be carefully tweaked to balance the overall effect of the spell. Additionally (if possible) skill shot projectiles could have their missile speed and direction altered by the singularity as well.

I would ACTUALLY make this his NEW ultimate as I really feel this is his iconic ability and more focus/impact on this one spell would be nice.

I think it should suck everything in the Rift in, all minions, players, and monsters, crush them to a singularity, then explode dealing 500% max hp true damage and permenantly disconnecting them from the game
