Iterate on the Veigar Changes that are about go up on PBE

I will try to make this quick of what I think of the changes for Veigar (I love my little evil yordle, and glad that support Veigar is getting stronger with the changes, but so is solo lane Veigar by quite a bit):


Baleful Strike (Q): YES! I love this ability getting more range and being a skill shot, Veigar will be a lot more fun to play and more rewarding for dealing damage suppose to a point-and-click and take more skill to play. The thing I do not like about the change is that I like the current 8/7/6/5/4 seconds cooldown and a lot more than the changing cooldown of 7/6.5/6/5.5/5 seconds- if the cooldown stays the same then I feel the ability will be perfect. The sudo AoE factor with the double hit is probably the most massive buff to this spell. Something I would like to see if his Kill Ability Power to become Kill / Assist Ability Power as this will encourage team play from Veigar rather than a farmer.

Event Horizon (E): Overall this ability is getting buffed through range and cooldown. The thing about the 0.75 second delay is that this makes instant teleport (blink) champions more overpowered than they currently are, I recommend making instant teleport champion abilities to interact with his stun wall the same way dash and jump abilities do; we need to tone down mobility creeping and not increase it further. As far as counter play goes the delay is great and the delay makes Veigar a lot more difficult to play and more rewarding for landing a good stun trap.

Dark Matter (W): Currently the only ability with the counter play, loving the cooldown buffs.

Primordial Burst (R): Glad to see the cost no longer goes up with ranks (which is dumb) and Veigar's ratio damage goes down slightly but keeping the enemy's AP ratio the same keeping the spell as an anti-mage ultimate, the cooldown buff is HUGE having the spell up more often.


This is all I wanted to iterate on and by the way support Veigar is one of my mains, and I do welcome these changes that will be going up on PBE. ~ Stacona

For some reason, I thought your title was "Irate on the Veigar changes" and was wondering why you were so calm and rational lol

lol good

Making baleful strike a skillshot so Veigar can't last hit minions with it, therefore directly nerfing his ability to stack AP.

Its a buff to Veigar making it a skill shot and sudo-AOE

I don't understand why this is being downvoted. You have, in a moment, summed up what Riot's intentions for the ability changes were. I am in fact looking forward to testing this on the PBE. Would you like to receive news of my post-play impressions?

Also, thank you for keeping this post calm and rational, it's not often you find that here. Honors to you.

I don't know why it is being downvoted either - it is just me talking about the changes Riot has already implemented - the only thing I want them to keep is Baleful Strike's current cooldown--- a hopeful wish is grant event Horizon the ability to stun instant teleport champions because this was one of the things that a great Veigar player can do was land the stun on a instant teleport champion and it is easy to disclude Flash so that Event Horizon doesn't affect Flash and only Champion specific instant teleports
