Community on Veigar, are you out of your !@#$ mind???

Veigar is now FOR SOME REASON "OP".

You gotta be !@#$ kidding me, HIS DAMAGE IS NEARLY THE SAME.

The 0.25 cd reduction ON A 1.25(was 1.5) CD SPELL, HOW DARE YOU CLAIM "I have to always flash to escape it" "Really hard to dodge"

I CAN WALK OUT OF RANGE AS ASHE FFS.

Oh and get this, the "Solo Queue tier list " (which I've increasingly realized is pointless) put Veigar into one of the "strongest champs mid -lane" and "god-tier" from his previous TIER 3 with THIS !@#$ reasoning:

"His previous level of burst damage just needed a bit extra to send it over the top, and here it is, over the top."

"The new Veigar buffs are an absolute boon to him as he now gets approximately half a needlessly large rod EXTRA in AP each game. "

OMG GUYS LOOK, 30 MORE AP!!!!! BOOM HE'S INSTA-GIBBING PEOPLE NOW !!!!

Don't mind the average ~1k AP that I get...with 4 AP items or so.....THE 30 AP IS SO OP RIGHT? MUST NERF VEIGAR!!!!

30/1000= 3% AP increase over the entire game.

Holly shit guys, that damage buff! It's so OP !

Just like the 2 AD nerf on vayne!!

IMO learn to !@#$ : a) not walk into his stuns b) stand still while he W's you c) go at him when you have 50% hp and his CD's are down d) fight a fed veigar 1 v 1, unless you're Vi or some other bruiser

My opinion of what the general community knows about the game just hit rock bottom. Honestly , learn the @!#$ numbers before you start saying he's so OP.

Well, let‘s be real, those bonus AP mean nothing. Even when he gets 100 AP out of it, he already has 1000+ AP, so +5-10% DMG isn‘t that much of a difference. He doesn‘t need it to instagib people. But those 0.25 seconds are a big deal. Before, you had to put 1 point in E to reliably hit people with E+W combo. Well, not anymore. But that‘s not what made community scream “OP“. It‘s the fact that people actually started playing him after buffs. Before, well, no one bothered playing immobile, mid ranged, burst mage. Guess people forgot 4000+ DMG combo and AOE stun. Well, not anymore

After playing him and against him multiple times, yeah, he is a bit over the top. His W is a bit faster (not that impressive) and his Q passive gives him a bit more AP (not that impressive), but combined with his design and all the little buffs it makes him a terror. He can sit back and farm AP with Q from 950 range away which means unless you are Ahri or a long ranged siege/poke mage you can't even try to stop him. He's still the same dude he was, but all the little buffs he got have made him horrible to play against. Q gained 300 range, double strike, and a faster speed, W lost cooldown, mana cost, and some cast time, E lost mana cost, cooldown, cast time, and gained some range, and R lost mana cost and cooldowns. The only nerf he got was E's delay and 20% AP on R (made up for by a MASSIVELY safer Q farming from range and double strike).

So the recent buffs didn't break him, but they were enough to tip more people on to play him and realize you can Q farm from range and outscale everything with no risk. Veigar is the only infinite stacking champion currently with no real risk to his stacks: Nasus is melee and immobile and gets stacks in melee, Sion is melee and immobile and mostly gets stacks in melee, Bard has to travel into rather dangerous areas to get most of his chimes, Thresh has to get into melee or put his W on cooldown for souls, and Veigar...Veigar has to press Q from almost an entire screen away. And all of Veigar's skills scale with the AP he gets and can be used for some poke.
