What if Veigar's Event Horizon actually worked (sorta) like a black hole?

What if those caught inside would be pulled toward the middle but not necessarily stunned, knocked, or otherwise disabled unless they hit the center where they will be stunned. Like, if they were fast enough (Yi, Hecarim, or anyone with a significant speed boost) they could "outrun" the pull so to speak, but slower targets such as the mages he's supposed to bust get pulled toward the middle where he can drop some Dark Matter on their heads and finish them with his ult.

Just an idea I had, thought I'd share.

Doodle demonstration because I'm terrible at drawing (rito pls hire)

so it would swallow the rift, while it keeps on growing, eventually engulfing the entire planet and killing everyone?

i dont know if that might be a little strong.

Growing in size and duration with every minion and champion it swallows. XD

I've been in a thread that's talked about this before. It's quite an interesting concept, and I think Riot will EVENTUALLY get to reworking Veigar, and when they do, this will definitely be something tested if not added.

I sure hope so. It's much cooler than just a stun on the edges of a circle.

Yeah, his stun at the moment is really not well thought out, because Riot put a quick fix on it so people would stop complaining about it. It really angered Veigar players/mains, and though the commotion has died down a bunch, it's still an issue.

That sounds really cool! It would do what exactly, apply a flat movement speed towards the center, probably scaling up with proximity to the center? Then if your move > it's pull, you could slowly walk out?

I reckon it would make sense thematically and for balancing if it started out smallish and grew over time like Cassy's Miasma.

A normal black hole would pull enemies from outside and nobody knows what happens inside except that nobody ever escaped from there. Your idea is a nerf, because it allows dashes out of there, and fast enemies will also easy escape. Right now it at least counters fast enemies and enemies with dashes. What Veigar needs is prevent ALL MEANS OF ESCAPE FROM THE EVENT HORIZON. No dashes, no flash, no recall, no Morgana's shield and walking away, and no walking away after one stun. And no enemy projectiles can come out of it too
