EDIT: This post is now outdated. I gladly eat my words, and am grateful for the changes to E
Veigar: Baleful Strike (Q ) [missile speed increased to 2.2k from 1.7k]
Seriously? I recall a red rioter posting a list of tentative buffs, all of which sounded amazing. So why are we getting this buff that solves absolutely nothing?
I'd imagine that that baleful strike buff is probably in addition to whatever they decide to do to his E (I think meddler just talked about E buffs again on reddit yesterday, so its probably still happening)
I think its a neat buff on its own, certainly makes Q a bit more reliable at last hitting.
Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we have 3 days still until the end of this PBE cycle? Plenty of time for things to happen.
Another thread that OP lies to us. Here are the other changes listed that OP "forgot" to mention.
Event Horizon (E) [now stops dashes early (such as Graves E, does NOT include blink/flash) that try to go through the wall vs letting them complete then stunning] Event Horizon (E) the warning particle/delay now begins at the start of Veigar's E cast time (.25 seconds) rather than at the end.
What that means is that Veigars stun now has .25 second less delay and you can't dash through it once he has started casting it
It's the first change, and it isn't even the mid-week. Just wait.
Hey, at least its an actual buff.
Lets wait for to see what else happens. The update isn't even finished on S@20.
That said... I feel like Riot owes me a refund for this Veigar "rework but we won't say it's a rework".
Edit: Nope, it wasn't all.
Event Horizon (E) [Now stops dashes early (such as Graves E, does NOT include blink/flash) that try to go through the wall vs letting them complete then stunning]
What were the other buffs Riot mentioned?
He is gonna be so op now!
Said no one ever
You gotta wait. The whole patch isn't out yet. There's minor stun buffs that you didn't post because you looked into it early and concluded that was all.
W sucks dick
better buff Q
still pretty shit overall. Until they give him a completely new W he's either going to be shit or have insanely OP numbers on the other 3 skills, because W is basically nothing but wave clear now.
biggest buff i've seen so far
Ok , that buff is a start... Now they need to either do something with his E to actually make it powerful or buff all the other abilities (you just can't delete a champion core ability and item and then act like a small buff can fix it)
And...changes to his E were added.
See what happens when you don't wait until all the PBE changes go through?
You underestimate how significant a buff like this will be.
With a Q missile speed that fast, he will almost never miss.
FFS Veigar is fine. I like the changes Riot made much better than his original play style.
