I feel Veigar is being buffed in the wrong directions

Not the wrong directions, per se;

He certainly doesn't need more damage, so that's fine. But Veigar doesn't need all this range, either. I figure that's for safety in lane so he can scale better to late-game, but if there's one change I feel would be good, it would be lowering his Q's cooldown to 4 again.

I scream internally whenever it's up 1 second too late just because of the double hit; when an ability is turned into a skillshot, it's cooldown SHOULD be lowered to 3 or something, but I know this is a special case, because Veigar's Q can farm AP.

But a higher cooldown on a skillshot is a direct hit to Veigar's reliability that has nothing to do with his counterplay issues. I think if a 4 second cooldown was added with all the other changes currently in the PBE, Veigar would be in a much better state

Why are they turning him into a poke mage? :/

I don't see how AFK farming until you can lob pseudo-AoE Nidalee spears is healthy design

riot doesn't see it either, they just added the Q change so it didnt look like it was a direct nerf for his dfg compensation.

I feel like they're trying to buff him in random areas he's not necessarily bad in to try and make up for the massive shortcomings introduced with the "rework" but that is honestly a really bad direction. Making his Q and R amazing while leaving his E and W to rot will not in any way make him satisfying to play. It's the exact problem with Cassiopeia - nobody wants to play with half a kit.
