Lowering Veigar's burst is the wrong way to go about balancing him.
I'd much rather see the cool down on his game-winning e increased at later levels; He gets it down to 8.4 seconds most games.
He can just fish with it non-stop. Its real hard to capitalize on that 4.9 second window of down time when he misses.
I feel it should have at least a 16 second CD at ranked 5 for its level of impact.
I posted this on PBE forums, and someone commented with this -
