Can Veigar Get A Tooltip On How Much He Stacked With His Q?

Virgin Ray··12 votes·1,784 views

Simular to Bard and Nasus and Thresh , I'd like to know how much AP I've stacked with Q without having to keep hovering over my Q icon. It should say something like

Veigar has accumulated 50 AP. It could also change depending on how much he's stacked. Like saying " Lord Veigar has stacked 200 AP"

Veigar's stacks fall into the category of things we realize some players want to see, but feel ultimately are more of a clarity cost than a benefit. Whenever we add any new source of information, whether spell indicator, warning visual effects, audio cue, buff icon or whatever it comes at some cost to all other information we're trying to communicate. Conveying everything's not the right approach as a result. If it's something that really needs to be shown to all players then that's a clear case (e.g. Nasus' stacks). If it's information where the key parts are easily available elsewhere (such as how much AP Veigar has) then we don't feel the benefit outweighs the cost. That same principle's something we use in other situations too, like how much information to convey on champion tooltips (missile speeds for example are easily understood when you see the actual missile, so listing them on the tooltip's just an unhelpful number for someone trying to figure out what the spell actually does in the first place).

But you could at least add it when you click "C" to view full champ stats?, same could apply to Bounty Hunter mastery (or you could just add an option when we tab to see whom has killed us and who have we killed / assisted.

can you see my custom item? I've made an icon for it! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/buOIBEzA-the-phoenixs-talon-icon-made-by-me-3

dude, please for pete's sake, shut up. You're just spamming boards with your idea without adding meaningful conversation.

It's probably a signature from FEK.

This topic has been done several times before. Knowing the number of stacks does not help Veigar's enemy as much as being able to see his total AP, which is readily available already.

-Bard gains different abilities depending on how many chimes he's collected -Nasus's Q scales directly off how many stacks he has, not so much his other stats -Thresh is kind of a mystery for me, because he gets plain old stats from it, but anyway, it was a weird design choice for Riot. Honestly, last I checked, I didn't notice the counter, but I'll believe you and assume that it is actually there.

Also, Sion stacks health when he farms (as a lot of the community doesn't seem to notice for some reason), but I don't see anyone asking for a count of his stacks to be shown to other players.

While souls provide AP and Armor, the bonus damage dealt by Flay's passive also scales directly with souls.

Ah, I didn't know that Flay scaled directly with it. Guess you learn something new every day about some champs. :)

Yea, this would make him more accustomed and not just lonely. Kindred, thresh, nasus, bard, all the infinite stacking things except for veigar.

No one should care other than the Veigar.

And you as the Veigar shouldn't be so lazy as to not want to hover over Q every now and then.

Besides, you shouldn't distract yourself with such a petty detail.

The only thing you need to know about Veigar is his AP, which you can see by clicking on him. It's just redundant if you ask me

Im with the majority of the people here. Although it would be nice for braggin rights, its not really something that is necessary. Just being able to say, "Hey! I finished the game with nearly 1300 AP!!!! OMG~ is good enough for me. I know at that rate I have between 300 and 400 AP stacks.

Aside from that, the only time you need to check it is when you have died. Alternatively, check it while walking out of base after clicking the minimap. You werent doing anything then anyway. :)
