Veigar still doesn't feel like he fulfills his theme

When I think of Veigar, I think of enormous burst, scaling Q, and a large AoE stun that can lock up a teamfight

But in reality Veigar just really doesn't fit up to that, especially since his rework. Yes, his Q still scales, but his stun is now almost a non skill, since it requires enemies touch the edge of it, but they can either 1. Stay inside of it or 2. Walk out of range before it materializes. And because of his E changes, his W, which was reliant on the E stun to land because of its long delay time, now almost never hits enemy champions. And Veigar's ult scales off of enemy AP. But when I think of Veigar, I for one don't think of an anti-mage; he holds the power of the cosmos in hsi hands, he isnt reliant on the power of his target to increase his own power.

IMO, Veigar would be way better if he received the following changes.

W - Dark Matter: When cast on the edge or inside of Event Horizon, Dark Matter's AoE is increased to 140 from 112.5, and its delay is reduced to 0.75 seconds from 1.25 seconds.

E - Event Horizon: Enemies "trapped" inside of Event Horizon have their sight radius reduced so that they cannot see beyond the edges of Event Horizon, and they lose shared vision until they escape Event Horizon or the skill ends.

R - Primordial Burst: Range increased to 675 from 650, AP ratio increased to 1.4 total AP from 1.0 total AP. Enemy AP ratio removed.

I think that these changes would help clarify Veigar, instead of having him be this weird super-niche pick who only has 2 skills.

He doenst need to be changed so hard, only his stun needs to be tweaked a bit so its more reliable.

I think the dash knockdown needs to be instant, but the stun still delayed. Just my thought. If he is too powerful, they can decrease his base stats a little.

Hmm, then it would be even more unreliable, since good enemy dont try to dash over the cage.

For me it would be enough for now if EVERYTHING except Flashsummoner 4 could not jump out of the cage. Its quite annoying that Ezreal Fizz Katarina MasterYi Talon Vladimir Yasuo Zed Can just ignore Veigars Cage, because Riot thinks that this is in any way fair to nullify the only cc of a squishy mage.

Meddler (riot employee) also said that even Fizz and Vlad are intended to ignore Veigar Event Horizon, which seriously cant be really fair. Especially Zed shouldntb e able to go through his Cage, 2 of hils abilities are completly ignoring the cage. Just favorism on riots side, first give it a delay, and then every mobility champ can ignore it.
