Well... it was fun playing the old Veigar while he lasted and I'm honestly really upset about how his rework turned out. His Q is terrible now because it makes CS'ing much harder. It puts Veigar in a LOT of danger by forcing him to go through or around minion waves to poke. Enemy champs are fairly safe as long as they have at least 2 minions between them and Veigar AND every one of his skills can be easily dodged aside from his Ultimate...
I thought Veigar was fine the way he was and a knowledgeable enemy team could either shut Veigar down early with plenty of ganks, or build items to counter him (Quicksilver Sash or a Banshee's Veil for mostly his stun), or simply play smart and CC him. I can honestly say that this "rework" has obliterated the character that was once known as the Tiny Master of Evil and I no longer feel like his Final Boss skin carries any meaning to what his character has become. At this point I just want a damn RP refund for all the skins i bought for him (especially the Final Boss skin) because this rework SUCKS.

Just got handed Veigar in aram, I was excited until I realised he went from a squishy burst that relied on his stun to be able to burst, to a squishy target with a stun that a mentally retarded child could accidentally avoid... Now he is just an extreamly squishy target with no way to do damage with out dieing horribly before he even gets in to range... R.I.P. Veigar you where once one of my fav champs like 5 or more years ago, I already miss the angry little midget :(

I rolled him for ARAM and went 11/2/16.

I just stayed in the back and would position the E around a champion so that it caged them in.

And yes, inevitably most of the time they ended up running into the walls and stunning themselves.

Riot plz change Veigar back, his abilities were what made him fun to play. Now i can even stand to look at him. i could learn to play with the change in his skill shot and what not, but the 7.5 secs on his e is just a deal breaker. Plz I beg of you restore Veigar to his former glory, because if you deny the darkness in your soul, you deny your power.

veigar is about as useful as a blind minion now, nerf every other champ in the game because if they get fed they can be a problem.

Veigar 2009-07-24 - 2015-02-24 I mained you since I started playing in S1... Riot almost never toutched you in all these years... I guess it's some kind of vengence or personal grudge! I have a feeling that what happened to Evelyn in S1 wasn't that bad compared to what they did to Veigar.

Let's see how his rework affected him. First his Q. This one ain't THAT bad but it obligates Veigar to only farm and forget about poking but makes his ap farm a bit better. Next his ult... -20% damage, why Riot, why? Anyway this ain't the worst. Finally removing any chance to land E unless you build move speed and tank considering they will just dash on you seeing how close you need to be to land a stun behind your target. The best part is that without the stun, it is nearly impossible to land his W. So W basically is only of use to farm if you're too lazy to do it with your Q.

Let's look at his ratios now. First his Q, still 60% but you need a bitmore skill to land it (might get used to it), his R, 100% and that's it cause you can't land stun so no dark matter... New total burst ratio : 160% + 80% of the ennemy ap. Old total burts ratio : 280% + 80% of the ennemy ap.

Riot gotta do something about it item 3070 I own almost every veigar skin but the only place I can play him now is in coop vs AI... Here's how I feel about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNQC2ruFSEg

Sorry for the long post but I had to let it out... May you rest in peace Tiny master of Evil, I will never forget you item 3070 item 3070

Veigar Riot, please understand, we the people of the league of legends community extremely hate the current version of veigar and would like to request that the old veigar come back, this is because the new veigar isn't capable of doing anything all game and is just a bad champ as of right now, the game was much better when veigar was a good champ, and i cant use my final boss veigar skin anymore if i cant use the current veigar effectively, please bring the old veigar back, thank youVeigar
