Veigar Support? Troll or late game carry?

Herobigs··1 votes·8,998 views

(FIRST POST SO IF I GET THE BOARD WRONG IM SORRY) I was Veigar support and had saw nothing wrong with the idea, until a couple minutes ago. I went into a Draft game mode and got flamed by 3 of my teammates 5 minutes in. Two of these players were queued and decided it'd be a good idea to just mock my gameplay and the fact I was "trolling" because of my champion pick. Trying to assure the team that I have played Veigar support in the past, they proceeded with the salt and claimed that our team had lost from the beginning because my choice of support. I did report these players at the end of the game, with the enemy team leaning on my side throughout the situation. However, I wanted to know your guys' opinions on Veigar support. I have read a few threads to why Veigar support isn't entirely a bad idea, but why is it hated so much? Or perhaps, were these people just trolling me?

I will be leaving a poll here, although you guys can continue to post your inputs.

Thank you guys.

[slayer-jinx-wink] Any champion can play any role as long as you know what you are doing and you are not in friken lcs master tier where they will instantly prove to you why veiger shouldn't support. Use it if it works and if you have fun with it.

Just joking I think like season 4 or 5 veigar support saw a good amount competitive play before they nerfed his stun. although i dont know why you would play vei support when you could play someone like zyra, blitz, malz, janna ect. who in my opinion are dominating the current meta. but that being said if the enemy team has a heavy ap and poke comp then you could pick veig.

LCS players have run Veigar Support before. It makes more sense than Miss Fortune Support in most instances.

His E is so much easier to walk out of than it used to be in the past because of the delay. The delay is only 0.5 seconds but thats typically all the time it takes to walk out lol

I play veigar support. If you are GOOD at veigar, then he's a good support. btw:, no you cant just "walk out of the stun ring". It's large. If you're in the middle, you cannot make it out. you are effectively zoned, even if you dont get stunned. someone claimed bad for draven, but veigar is PERFECT for draven. Because even if they dont initially get hit by the stunring.. they are stuck inside it, so draven almost cant miss his knockaside... which also then knocks them into the stunring :-D

its ok for a passive farming lane but not necessarily w/ an adc like draven who wants to snowball, veigs E is much better for stopping an all in than hitting an offensive stun

it depends on how you play it. if you took Dring and are stealling your adcs farm, then troll. if you took a gold gen item, are harassing enemy laners and setting up wards/kills then support.

His only form of CC is a cage that can be easily avoided.

Ult is basically a kill stealer.

Needs to farm to scale, shouldn't be farming as support.

So................................yeah, it's troll.

It depends on how you play. If you play a midlane veigar (item 3165 item 3089 FARM), then yeah, its not a great supp. However, if you build tank veigar (item 3110 item 3027 item 3065 item 3742 item 3047 item 2301 ), and acquires stacks through harrass, I would call it 100% viable. You don't end up with the legendary 1200 ap, but you do end up with 200-400 ap, and a fair amount of tank/cd. You also shouldn't use your ult, as it becomes more of a panic button to save your adc in a duel, or pick up one that'l get away (no cast time woot).

basically, its all about your mindset

buy sightstone and a gold generation item and i don't care what else you build. Also your ult is reserved for cowards.
