The new veigar

Arcade Andrew··3 votes·933 views

So I played one game before the patch yesterday as veig mid, and A: didnt need DFG I straight up dominated because I know how to farm my Q had +230~ AP on my Q B: With Full build (magic pen boots/ ROA/ mejais/ serpahs embrace/ deathcap/ pizza hourglass / sorcery elixer) with the 5 drag buff baron and blue had around 1.5k AP and was one shoting anything that dared fight me(including a kalista OH MY GOD I WON AGAINST A KALISTA VEIGAR OP MUST NERF VEIGAR CUS HE BEAT KALISTA)

and I was laning against a velkoz who holy crap hurts like hell

here is the game http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1742134714/46709557?tab=overview

I will come back sometime today after I have played new veigar middle with how good or bad I do, and see which one is better

my predictions: I will hurt like hell because I'll be able to farm Q alot easier now, so the ult scaling nerf wont matter to much, and even with the delay I should be able to lock enemies fairly easy (even with reduced range)

EDIT: What veigar nerfs?

The stun delay was meager lol

I hit it 80% of the time AT MAX RANGE

which got reduced (the only real bad part) Still one shot people with my ult and my Q farm was so amazing, ALL THE FREE AP from groups of minions.

Same (ish) build as before still did amazing

You aren't allowed to like Veigar.

It's against the forum rules.

Any joy you experienced playing him was an illusion.

That was yesterday before the "nerfs" Even without DFG TBH balance wise He needed a nerf, I was one shotting a hecarim with my ult around 25 minutes in, once I hit 120~ ap on my Q I was just rekting them

Just finished a quick little custom game with him and all I have to say is, large groups of minions are wonderful. You wanna recall and get items? No worries, there will be a swarm of minions ready to be made into AP. Top laner roaming and Mid lane is pushed? Walk on over to Top lane and bathe in that free AP. I can see enemy teams begging for some one else to take large swarms instead of Veigar. I didn't play him much before this patch but I think I'll start now~

You will hurt. But you won't be able to 1v1 and that's the whole point. Veigar has terrible AoE as a mage. If I wanted AoE, I'd pick Xerath or Vel'koz. You'll be able to do lots of damage, but despite that, you won't be able to kill people 1v1 anymore. Sure, you can kill 2v1, but anyone can get a kill in a 2v1 and it's not like he has the lategame presence to make up for things because of enemy itemization. Banshee's Veil is just going to hurt him even more now. No DFG to compensate for a spell lost on it. No E (meaning no W) so you're only left with your Q and R to actually pop it with. In other words, if your enemies are intelligent, they can make you burn your ult in order to do any damage to them whatsoever. That's very very wrong.

Yeah 'cause Veigar really needed DFG to blow people up... Yeah... How about no
