Could Veigar's E have a 0.5 Second Silence in the Cast Area Before It's Up?

Not saying he should or shouldn't, just a question.

It would give him more safety against highly mobile champions that can currently completely ignore his E.

I could see how it could be considered too good having an aoe sililence for team fights, but Chogath has one. This one would only be half a second while Cho's is is between 1.5 - 2.5.

To be clear, this is only in the targeted area of his stun before the walls actually come up and only during that time. This would just improve Veigar's safety, which he needs right now given his immobility and the fact that his current E can just be ignored by so many champions.

Edit:

Another benefit this COULD have is that it would make his W more landable. Instead of casting E then W you could cast W then E which might make it harder for some champions to dodge in certain situations. Just a thought that i figured could be worth mentioning.

The main problem with Veigar is that even the most immobile champ can just walk out of the trap, and even if they don't they can just wait until the until his e is over and dodge your w while staying in your E.

Offensively yes, but that's why Riot nerfed it. What they could do though is give it some extra defensive property that actually does something. Stopping dashes was a nice idea but they dash you Veigar before the walls are even up making that useless as it is. Something to stop that would at least make Veigar safer.

And dont forget that you can easily flash out of Veigars stun. Or jump/blink out (More than 17 champions can do that with ease), which makes Veigar useless aginst certain champions (with no means of counterplay for Veigar)

Riot nerfed Event Horizon for its defensive usage. It was being used to shut down LC$ big plays on the Korean end. Since Rito must perserve healthy gameplay like leblanc and zed, this was why Veigars kit was soundly nerfed.

The "burst" angle being too strong being the reason they nerfed it is snake oil they're trying to get you to drink so they can further nerf control in this game to allow high mobility characters their chances to make flashy plays for their easily amused audience.

Ofc, no. League is not needed another broken Soraka's E.

Its a good thought, would definitely repair some of the damage riot did to him.

soooooo whoever you press E on can't flash or jump out if veig Es them rendering them probably guaranteed dead when veig Es around them? yup yup.... sounds like a great idea.
