Veigar Rework is in the right direction but....

Veigar is underwhelming in his current state. His new kit is good but needs to change in order for him to be viable/consistent. He is just too easy to out play.

His Q is his biggest issue right now. It is a relatively long cool down for his only source of reliable damage. Top that off with being blocked by minions and undesirable targets it basically becomes useless. My fix: Lower the cool down to similar to Karth and Cass Q. Lower AP gained to 0.5AP per kill of minion. Still a chance for him to gain lots of AP making him scary but still dodgeable and skill needed. Possibly lower AP ratio as this wouldn’t be your major kill skill but a harass/buttering the targets up.

His W is strong. Would function as kill skill in terms high skill/luck but still dodgeable. Open to counter play. Want to keep this with the high-risk high-reward mentality.

His E is awful. Don’t get me wrong, instant stun at the uber range is unacceptable. The current problem is that if you do manage to get them in the ring the only ability that is a sure thing is his R. People can still dodge your Q and W. My fix: Make the cage size smaller. This will make it so if you do get caught you either get hit by W or get stunned by cage. Your choice. Q becomes easier to hit and allows you for more reliability on both Q and W.

His R is needs to be the Nuke of all Nukes. If it takes a target down to ¼ health… Its doing its job for something that can only be used once a fight. Late game if your get caught by Veigar with 3 skill shots you should be dead.

Overall I think Riot is heading in the right direction with this Veigar but as he has long cool downs on most of his abilities and unreliable damage output other than his ult.

Let me know what you think. Please excuse spelling errors.

Edit: Removed the word unplayable from the post as it seems that is all people were able to read.
