Event Horizon buff

What's proposed. After the spell is cast (0.25 sec). Some fraction of the arc facing Veigar is instant. I think 30 degrees would be a nice starting point. Then the wall builds up around both ends simultaneously at a rate such that it reaches the back point in like 0.75 second. The wall lives for like 2 seconds or so. touching the wall stuns you the same way it does now.

What's better about it Many stuns in this game have a trend where they are more reliable at close range, and harder to hit at long range. This allows Veigar to make defensive stuns while making offensive stuns still dodge-able. I think it would make trying to get out of the cage before it closes more interesting.

It might be harder to code, but hey, that's why you make the big bucks.

Been proposed a dozen times along with other interesting ideas. Ignored by reds everywhere. Upvote anyway because Veigar is still incomplete. Not bad, but incomplete. But hey, at least the boards got his ult size to scale larger. Veigar item 3070

I hope RiotRepertoir sees this.

I think a cool idea would be if his q stunned if you were inside the circle. I know its hard to dodge his q sometimes though so not sure that would be balanced.

What he needs is a buff to his Dark Matter, not Event Horizon. You can cage someone fairly easily if you practice leading your target, heck might even be a way to still land the stun. But hitting your Dark Matter is nigh impossible without an ally CCing the target for you.

I like it.

no one has mention how utterly devastating veigar e is in a team fight, when i land it and do my w, i pretty much won my team the fight if i caught 2 or 3 people in it, imagine this on old veigar when it was instant, and you wonder why support veigar had to go.

his e just seems like a headache to balance without it either sucking or being to strong.

Yes please, also many players made a thread requesting the exact same thing. This is the example I posted on my 1 month old thread: http://i.imgur.com/1vdJnzd.png Green is instant(no warning particles); Yellow spawns after 0.25 seconds(with warning); Red spawns after 0.5 seconds(with warning) the total delay for the walls to fully appear is still 0.75 since the cast delay is 0.25.

Very good idea since he has to get closer to get a better stun. But, I doubt people will go for it. :/

So, as someone who only ever played a little bit of veigar and is just pondering the current situation, I have a question for all you veigar players. With veigar's old stun cage, was the most important characteristic being able to spring a trap on your opponent(s), or was it commanding movement around a large area and punishing transgressors?

How does this change work if/when Veigar casts such that he is within the circumference?

What if over the duration of the cage it started shrinking? The cage is fairly large and doesn't really do anything to people if they are inside it. I'd say before it ends it would end up at .5 to MAYBE .33 radius at max rank if we want to go that route but it would still be interesting.

I feel like all of the "No Veigar instant-stuns" talk in here is biased. 0.25s windup time is negligible for someone who is inside your face.

keep the delay on the e but make it a slow until the thing pops up there you go counterplay plus veiger can now land his w done and done and don't tell me its op cough viktor cough cough

This seems like a decent suggestion.

Conturbatio9/11/2015, 5:02:43 PM1 votes

Riot please add this change to Veigar's E already! I'm sick and tired of dying just because I can't defend myself from annoying assassin. Must be so "unhealthy" to instantly stun someone who is right on top of your face!

Maybe lower the range you can throw the E by maybe 50-100 and i wouldn't mind this happening.

Still fucking hate veigar though.
