During the mid lane mages touch up, can we do something to Veigar?

I don't want to nerf him to oblivion, but I don't think he is a healthy champion right now. If it's hard to keep Nasus from getting stacks then imagine how hard it is to keep Veigar from getting stacks, when his Q is a ranged ability that can hit two targets and passivley increases his AP whenever he gets a kill OR assist? Combine this with the scaling on his abilities and your left hanging there with your jaw open like "wtf" This guy's only weakness is that he is squishy...which is awesome...if you are a ranged burst mage, but even then if he catches you in his sight he can tap R and kill you.

Before his ult was like "huh, thats kinda cool" cause he wasn't such a freaking jerk that he is now. He has a 100% scaling AP on his ult....plus 80% of his TARGETS ability power.

Im tired. It's hard to make a complete in depth argument against Veiger right now. But let me say that the only thing it seems that you can do against a Veigar is to just not let him farm....period... And even if that is an actual thing, this does not seem like a fun thing for either the person laning against him or the Veigar himself

Yeah but he's really not that strong these days. And I don't mean just because he's not top tier. There was a time his EVENT HORIZON was instant, and in those days you may have had a point, since he could E-W-Q and basically 1-shot you and even if you lived he could just press R (or press R n 1-shot you, if you're squishy). Now, outside the clustered teamfights, his W can be hard to land without his event horizon, which you have to cast at the right time to get them stunned long enough. Sure, late game he can nuke you. But generally speaking, you shouldn't be losing lane against him (1v1, without junglers or roamers). and if you're winning lane, you can freeze the lane. Then if he tries to farm, you kill him.

Veigar takes practice. If the player(s) who play veigar are good with him, you can't really complain and ask for nerfs on a champion who doesn't deserve them. I'd rather be nuked by a Veigar than a Katarina

I remember those days when viegar had an instant cast stun. But Viegar's weakness doesn't come from his kit really, it comes from how quickly towers fall and how quickly the game ends. Because of this, Viegar doesn't get TOO much time to farm. However, this is likely to change and when it does and late-game actually becomes a thing again then Viegar is going to be REALLY potent.
