How to balance Veigar with DFG removed.

Oh DFG, how I will simultaneously miss you and celebrate your disappearance.

Veigar is a yordle of very simple means. He can do one of two things; stun you or kill you. Usually he tries to do both, but if he fails one he usually ends up getting killed. Veigar was married to DFG, it was his absolute most core item. Without it he's going to suffer greatly (but still not as greatly as the suffering he wishes upon all of you). Luckily, as if to avoid the Master of Evil's wrath, Riot has stated that upon the removal of DFG both Ahri and Veigar are the top candidates for buffs to compensate. So how should this be done? Look no further, I've broken down several viable possibilities here that directly help to mend the hole that DFG will leave behind.

1. AP ratio buff to Q. Currently at 60%, Q is almost solely a farming tool and isn't very useful for combat except for a bit of extra damage. Simply put, currently it's lackluster. Buff it to 80% and watch the magical bolts fly.

2. Make enemies take %bonus damage from Veigar while stunned by Event Horizon. This one is simple, just give Event Horizon a +10%, +12.5%, +15%, +17.5%, +20% bonus damage from Veigar for 3 seconds (the length of time the ability stays on the field, the stun is shorter). Lookey there, that fixes things rather nicely.

3. Lower the early game cooldowns on Q. Currently they're pretty large and this would speed up his inevitable "farming period" that can take a numbing amount of time.

4. Make Event Horizon ignore tenacity, or at least some of it. Someone gets one tenacity item and boom your W will never land again and you can't escape them.

5. Lower the cast delay of W, it's currently 1.25 seconds long, which is LONG. Make it 0.75 seconds (Still 50% longer delay than Karthus's Q)

6. Buff his passive. 1% more mana regen per 1% mana missing is nice, but underwhelming in today's meta. We now have the technology to make it scale 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.75%, 2% so let's make that happen.

7. Give him some sort of escape, but a fair one. Example: Add on to his ultimate that upon killing an enemy champion with Primordial Burst Veigar can activate the ability again within 3 seconds to dash in the direction of his cursor a short distance (while laughing) for an evil getaway.

There are 7 non-gamebreaking ideas for Veigar's compensation of DFG's removal. One for you to think about every day of the week.
