I can understand why people think Veigar is broken

I mean it's natural, after his rework he was utterly poop until they gave him numerous buffs as an attempt to overload him because they wanted veigar to be relevant.

strong or not he is still pretty boring to me due to the fact that he became AP nasus since his q became a skillshot but that's just my opinion.

He's always been an AP Nasus though.

lol no he hasn't

pre-rework he was played as a lane bully and a roamer not a farmer. Well at least by competent veigar mains.

I don't think you know what the term overloaded means. His kit functions exactly how it did when the rework first came out, it's just stronger. I know calling a kit overloaded is a popular buzzword over here but overloaded ≠ overpowered. They often go together but a kit can very easily be overloaded and underpowered (Elise before her buffs) or underloaded and still overpowered because of raw numbers (Garen in 5.16).

actually his Q is being heavily overloaded in terms of what it gives and does for his kit/playstyle.

maybe I wasn't clear on what they were overloading.

errrr no

overloaded kits are basically kits that do a billion different things all shoehorned in to the limit of four abilities. veigar's kit is literally "this skill does this, and this other skill does this other thing".

his stun is the broken part. it's the strongest cc in the game. leona ult doesn't even compare to the zoning power of that shit and the cd isn't nearly as long

his stun was always meant to be like that.

the only logical reason that im aware of is that people dislike how much free AP he's getting because the rework and the recent buffs his stun has gotten tremendously weaker.

no, his stun is the only reason anyone plays him. banshee's veil makes his scaling pretty much irrelevant in team fights.

that's obvious but im talking about why people are complaining about him.

wouldn't make sense to complain about something that got tremendously weaker

I like how Veigar mains claim his cage to be hard to hit. They even sometimes call it a flat out bad ability just to defend their freelo, as if you needed to hit the stun lel.
