Poor Veigar. Team Builder's just adding insult to injury.
Veigar just can't get a break.
Veigar just can't get a break.
I just played my first match with New Veigar. I wish I'd streamed it. It was so hilarious. I seriously felt like I had no reason to level my E or W.
There was this moment where I threw my stun in lane, and Kat and I just laaaaauuuuuughed. As in, she literally paused to step out of the stun and /laugh.
Then there was this time when I ran into MF. I caught her roaming around with half health or whatever (actually, maybe she was at full?), while I was hidden in the bushes. My old instincts kicked in, and I threw my stun right on top of her...and, of course, it had no effect. She then proceeded to quite casually kill me from inside the stun. She didn't even bother to walk out of it.
It's true that you now get to passively Q-farm and rack up tons of AP. I feel this has to be considered a negative change; before, the whole point was that you had to finely balance farm and harass to stay alive. Now, it's clearly optimal to just AFK farm. Of course, it doesn't do you much good, because you can't actually inflict AP damage on anyone.
This is the sort of thing I don't like to say, but honestly, I no longer believe Riot was even making a good-faith effort to "compensate" him. This was not only a nerf, but a nerf that was obviously going to render him completely useless.
Veigar was once a Champion whose kit revolved around a very powerful stun. After these changes, his stun is no longer capable of actually stunning targets, unless (e.g.) layered on top of other teammates' hard CC.
or she pressed ctrl 4 i press b a lot in lane

If you still died to MF in that situation, then that's your fault, not Veigar's changes. All you had to do was press Q and R... OR just one of those. You said she was low.

Maybe she wasn't? I know I hit her with Q and R. It just didn't matter: it was Veigar and MF trading damage back and forth. That doesn't end in Veigar's favor.
Really, that's my impression of him now: he just sort of stands there and lobs damage at the enemy. There's so much less strategy, because he no longer has different options to weigh against each other.
You said she had half health though, and what Veigar excels at is burst. Just a Q and R wouldve easily killed her before she could lifesteal back. From my matches as Veigar, I've never had trouble bursting squishies without my stun.
How dare you disagree with the anti-Veigar-change circlejerk! Most of these people probably never actually played Veigar and are just bandwagoning.
Agreed. Less whining, more adapting!
That's funny, because in a couple Veigar threads you were celebrating the fact that "riot finally eliminated the little runt from viable play" but here you are claiming "Veigar is fine, you guys should just adapt lol".
Wait, if you're lvl 11, why are you even talking?
This forum is open for all players of LoL, regardless of level.
Ok, I'm sorry.
No matter their level, they can have opinions. Instead of using their level as a reason to discount them, just show they are wrong with a counter argument.
I think his name sums it all up, Infinitely Delusional.
I'm pretty sure all of the Veigar mains are delusional though. Very sad to see that they can't kill squishies from half health. This why I think that their whining is pretty sad right now.
I mean, OP wasn't sure about what health the mf was at. More than likely she had some kind of life steal item and as soon as the box is cast, she got vision of the Veigar. She is bound to do more guarunteed damage than the veigar just by right clicking on him. Veig's w probably missed [I mean, it really needed the box to land], q is easy enough to dodge, then all that's left is an ult....which she can easily heal enough health to negate. Most any other mage would absolutely destroy people from that position [being in the bush, and having the jump on an opponent] but veigar really sucks right now.
Well, in the comment, he said half. Dodging Q is pretty easy, I know, but not when you're inside the box.
It's so large you can dodge almost any skill shot
Its like the same 4-5 QQ people in every Veigar thread.
InfiniteDelusion LyraSonna Foxmxwolf etc.
Hey guys, how's it feel to be at the bottom of the voting abyss in every thread?
It's actually fine. I don't mind saying my opinion. I'm not even QQ'ing, I'm actually replying to QQ threads, big difference. People just like to complain, and I find it pretty funny. Veigar still does what he does best; burst. These people still complain, so I find it pretty funny.
People aren't just complaining, they're stating the fact that Veigar had no problems whatsoever before and after DFG removal, and now Veigar is actually worse, despite the DFG compensation buffs, or whatever you would like to call them. And you can't really burst anyone if they can just walk around it...
Then most people are horrible at stating that Veigar is weak now. If you look on the boards, most of the people just QQ about it, instead of opening up reasonable discussions. I just played a match as Veigar, actually. I was able to burst people fine, land some good stuns, and later won the game. He's not as bad as people make him out to be.
All of the Veigar players I've gone against haven't been able to do anything right. I don't know who you're going against in your match ups, but the other person must have been lagging pretty badly to still get stuck in the box that takes a second to actually be made.
In lane, it was almost impossible, I will admit. In teamfights, you just put in front of where an enemy is going, it's easy there. Also, they had a Shaco, and whenever I saw him poof away, I would put the stun around my adc in a few seconds. Then guess what? Easy stun! Just gotta be a little smarter with placement now.
LIES, unless u are in range of them this is a lie , the stun is like 375r , somewith close to the middle will be able to made it out or just stay inside. Thats what happened to me on the Veigar game i played. Was i totally unable to land stuns? nope , i landed a couple , but it was meaningless and they mostly walked into it.
I was in range, but I had a decent team comp that was able to protect me. I think that your team comp really relies on how well Veigar can do now. Also, the stuns I did land gave me a free W on them!
W has effectively been rendered useless by the massive nerf to E. Can't possibly land either of them on a competent opponent unless they're already CCed by someone else.
IS THAT A SHORT JOKE?!
Yes.
Oh. Okay. 
Here's how you fix Veigar's stun. silence and blind anyone inside it YOU'RE IN HIS CAGE YOU DON'T FIGHT HIM WHILE YOU'RE IN HIS CAGE, AND YOU DON'T GET TO BLINK OUT OF IT
I also tought about that. But you could place it in a middle of a team fight and it would be an 95% won team fight. Of course, it would compensate for his lowered damage on his ult and the fact that you it is very har do land the q on the enemy champion
How about just a blind?
Now THAT would be sufficiently scary, making people try desperately to get out before it went up.
Posts like this make me glad that Riot doesn't listen to the community.
I feel like a silence and a root would be really stupid.
Blind is good. AoE slow is good.
Riot said that they will be making the cage stun enemies who dash out of it.
But a silence? Hell no. A root would cause everything else in his kit to be nerfed, you could aoe 5 man root an entire team for 2.5 seconds. Fuck that,

I just wish there was a way for trapping them in the cage to actually help Veigar. Invariably my suggestion would break Veigar lol

Silence and blind might be a bit much though when team fighting happens. How about no particles (AA and champs included) can leave the cage once it comes up. That way people inside can still try to fight in their own way. But they're trapped within it, kinda like the 'Event Horizon' of a blackhole

I thought of that, too. No projectiles originating from someone inside the cage can leave the cage; but that might be too complicated.
At least it's not Very Short.
Is that a short joke?
Hilarious and ingenious post, you are so rare, I am glad I found you.
I never really knew how he was changed. so how exactly? :P I thought it was a basic drop his stats thing.
Not gonna get into specifics but here are the primary changes:
His Q is now a skill shot which operates along the same principle of lux's bind. It doesn't bind but it goes through the first target. It also has ~200 range increase. Very large hitbox. Like if two minions were standing right next to each other and he was facing them, it hits them both.
W does slightly more damage, which is irrelevant due to
E now has a .75s warm up particle AFTER a .5s cast time [total time before ability takes effect 1.25s]. This basically makes it impossible for him to get his combo off before dying against any competent opponent. He can't land his W [again, against a competent opponent or without getting lucky].
R has decreased damage
Q sounds like a big pain. he still stacks with a skill shot? or was the stacking part removed?
W doesn't have to be used with E, but yes it is the most common combo among Veiger players.
As said above, it makes him a little harder to use. to me, that's a good thing cause now the true Veiger players are determined. the ones that can play him with the changes are truly good at him. Its like making Lee with lower stats. People who stop using him did it cause now he's 'too hard'. The true Lee players can do good despite the changes.
Eh. don't care much about the R change.
Top level Veigar players have already said that he's unplayable, at least if you want to win.
You've got about 1s delay before the stun goes off. Now that may not seem like much, but if you have no pairs of boots you can still WALK out of the stun even if you're near the middle. It becomes absolutely impossible to land his w at that point with such long reads.
I never really knew how he was changed. so how exactly? :P I thought it was a basic drop his stats thing.
Yeah, I think part of the reason things aren't as bad yet as they could be is because people aren't fully aware of the changes. In other words, people are still scared of Veigar, because they remember him as that mage who can burst them.
The old stun, if you lined it up right, would instantly stun the target. The new stun has a .75s warning animation that politely advises enemies to step out of the way. Remember that his stun is really just a ring, not a filled circle. All the target has to do is step half a Teemo away in any direction to avoid being stunned.
That isn't too bad... Now he has a little more skill to him.
Sorry you can't 100-0 people at level 2 anymore. I know it sucks.
what the hell can Veigar do at level 2?
He can't even land W because level 1 E doesn't stun long enough
Veigar needs his ult to do that...which comes slightly after level two. Leblanc on the other, can do that at level two.
