Veiger definitely needs some love

First off, I love the nerf they did to his stun where you now have some counterplay against it. Counterplay is good and it is still a very strong ability that just takes some more skill to use now.

The problem is that his kit was so dependent on that instant stun, he is now underpowered. He only needs a small buff or two to be balanced. For instance, I think that his W should hit faster now.

I'm sure someone is going to say "He is fine, he can one-shot you late game." Yes he can IF he can make it that far. He is one of the squishiest champs in the game and can be one shotted himself. All I ask is for the field to be evened up a bit. Thanks for reading, constructive comments are always appreciated.

He just needs some way to defend himself. Right now his only defense is kill them before they kill you.

That pretty much sums it up.

His stun was fine for the kit he has.

Counterplay is more than "REACT! REACT! DODGE!"

yet other king of mobility champions remain untouched because of their high skill cap, high risk(hit or miss) super high reward, whereas all veigar needed was a change in area of stun, duration, cost, cooldown as opposed to a full on delay, but you know rito, least possible thinking involved.

His stun had gotten so bad in Korea that he was 1st ban worthy. If a team got Veiger support, they had like a 75% win rate. It was so broken Riot had to nerf it.

so than why not increase the cost and CD instead of adding a ridiculous delay? When it was his only means of escape/engage riot really screwed him over

I have been playing him a lot during free week. His stun is fine, you just have to practice it. He just needs the delay on his W reduced and he would be pretty balanced.

Honestly I think he's fine right now. He does have more risk to his burst, but nothing positioning won't help. The only thing I could see as a buff is slightly reducing the travel time of his W in exchange for slightly reducing the ratio on it (yes it's hard to land, but when you land it, IT HURTS. 1.0 AP ratio is definitely something you want to dodge, especially from someone that gets 150+ AP from himself.)

The speed on his W DEFINITELY needs increased. Cho'Gath can dodge it. LOL

I would be fine with the ratio dropped a bit. It's better to do less damage than no damage at all since everyone can dodge it pretty easy. In fact the only way to really land it right now is to hit them with your stun first.
