My Thoughts On Veigar Update

Virgin Ray··1 votes·682 views

Phenomental Evil Power (P) New passive: Hitting Enemy Champions with a spell grants Veigar +1 stacks of Extreme Evil. Takedowns grant +3 stacks. Each stack grants +1 AP. More AP on everything! Passive went from meh, to god

Baleful Strike (Q) Passive AP gain on Takedown removed Instead, grants +1 Extreme Evil on kill, increased to +2 vs Large Monsters/Large Minions. (Now only grants +1 on Champion kill - though bear in mind it also counts for +4 from the passive, so an actual total of +5) Mana Cost lowered by 20 **You will get 5 AP if you kill a champion with your Q, plus the mana cost lowered. **

Dark Matter (W) Mana Cost lowered by 10 Shadow on cast emphasized to show AoE Radius (it's shockingly large) Tiny buff with mana cost, I still don't understand the shadow thing

Event Horizon (E) Mana Cost lowered by 10 Again, tiny buff with mana cost

Primordial Burst (R) Enemy AP Ratio removed Damage rescaled from 250 / 375 / 500 (+100% AP) >>> 175 / 275 / 375 (+75% AP) to 350 / 550 / 750 (+150% AP), increasing based on target's Missing Health Percentage. This scaling caps out against targets below 33% Health. Mana Cost lowered by 25 The most interesting change imo, ult went from a one shot to an execute. I guess it's a buff considering how his kit is empowered more, but a nerf to the ability overall without the enemy AP scaling and the one shot potential.

_Overall, I'm going to say his ult one shot was nerfed entirely to empower the rest of his kit. His ult is now an execute which means it's kinda nerfed. He is more or less the same tiny wizard who just plays safe and stacks AP until late game. His AP scaling mini-game is buffed and using your full combo of spells on an enemy champ and kill him/her means you will get a hefty 8 AP (without Rabadons passive) He is rewarded a ton more for landing his spells with the AP, so poking with him could be a lot more prominent. _

They removed his identity of a counter ap mage, also since riot ruined my 2 mains in same patch and canceling prized tourneys riot income i guess its time for me to go back to dota 2 again

Counter AP champ means mobility and inherit magic resist to dodge spells and take less damage with AP. The fact that Veigar has 1000+ dmg with his ult and 800+ dmg with ulting an equally powerful mage is unhealthy.
