The funniest thing about veigar from a relatively new perspective

So I had been playing dota 2 for years, and back in around febuary my friend was like "hey man you should play league of legends with me" so i decided to play. I played Veigar, and i was like "Holy fuck, this is the most broken champion in any moba ever, why doesn't anyone play him?" He said that veigar was nerfed into unviability, and that he was total garbage. I checked the boards and this seemed to be the general opinion on veigar, that he was bad and "unviable". I played veigar so many times in normal games I can't even count, and he was always just 100% BROKEN, it was just so much stupid fun to Q-R somebody and instakill them 30 minutes into the game. So he gets a QOL buff on hiw W where theres no annoying cast time (I have actually missed a dozen or so kills by pressing W and then doing something during the cast time >:\ ) and the AP buff on assists that does virtually nothing because he can literally press Q 3 times and get more AP than that gives, suddenly everyone is saying he's broken and that he needs nerfs. And yeah, I agree, but I'm more confused as to why everyone was thinking he was unviable and suddenly after small buffs hes broken?

it's cause at first they turned his q from point-and click to a skill shot, and then e used to be a stun the instant you cast it but they got rid of that. so I guess that's too much of a nerf???

it was largely the reduced delay on his E that brought him back into the spotlight. A now-reliable AOE nuke with high base damage and a 1.0 ratio? Yes, please!

It was just Veigar mains claiming that tbh. They saw they had to aim a skill shot and got pissy. Even though his farming safety was massively hiked with his rework.
