Anyone playing Tank Veigar....

Chimp Joker··5 votes·815 views

....Is a sick twisted and sadistic individual who hold no regard for life. In other words, I am tilted hard. How in the hell is an adc supposed to deal with a veigar with item 3143 item 3102 item 3025 item 3020 item 3083 item 3089 ? I dare anyone to try this shit out. With his continuous ap scaling and sheer annoying tankiness, it causes nothing but a splitting headache.

It also does absolutely nothing in damage until complete lategame, and even then not that much.

And you're not supposed to deal with it. You're an ADC. Get over it.

I don't follow what you are saying. Do you mean "you are an adc, you can't fight against tankgar" or "you are an adc so you should be able to deal with a zoning/nuking tankgar"?

You're an ADC so you shouldn't be able to deal with Veigar by yourself.

How is an adc supposed to deal with an Akali with item 3146 item 3157 item 3100 item 3020 ?

You are not.

That's the point.

As ADC you require your team to initiate, protect you and tank for you. If they don't, you are done. Of you try to be the solocarry-playmaker-herooftheday, the enemy frontline will just say thanks for the free gold, unless their team is amazingly behind. Its as simple as that.

And if you think Tankgar is annoying, wait until you see a competent Maokai, Nasus or Tankarina.

You are 100% correct about everything. I can't be upset as an adc when an assasin can just close the gap towards me and just 100-0 me in a flash. That part I can deal with. However, when I see something off meta as much as tankgar just soaking up so much of my damage and stunning me and ultimately me so much, I will be frustrated beyond belief. I'd much rather deal with Maokai than veigar. Nasus....nah he's still scary af late game.

So only meta champions/builds are allowed to get things done well?

Why?

I'd replace that frozen gaunlet with frozen heart, sorcerer boot with ionian, and maybe spirit visage instead of warmog just for the mr stat. That's assuming veigar's opponent doesn't stack mr though, and if that's the case I'd replace rabadon with void.

If I were to go "Tanky" on him I will probably go similar of how I play Annie or Diana (battlemage style) with item 3001 item 3027 item 3020 item 3157 item 3742 item 3285 or something like that

I think you can put him into an intentional 0 dps role as a half tank with full cdr, in other words a support, and then just use him as a stun bot, zoning tool. I tried it 2 games. got 40 or so stuns in one of them. if you count corpse stuns i think you can add a handful more to that number. Kind of fun way to do it that don't rely on dmg.

Veigar is in need of a rework or should get rid of his ult.

MissingKayo2 votes

Or you could just stop being bad at the game.

or u just get a new "main" or "love" and stop cry.

Coming from the one QQing about Veigar?

VelvetCrotch1 votes

Nope, thats just pure reality. Facts that make Veigar kind of broken and antifun. I dont know u but i follow this game more or less since S2. And there are too many old champs fairly untouched - like Veigar.

MissingKayo1 votes

He is perfectly balanced though. Stay bad. :)

VelvetCrotch1 votes

I yawn boredly about ure tries to defend him. Sry.

Ah and btw: a Ult that can oneshot a mage lategame seems fine i guess. But e.g. a Zed, too? Or nearly destroy a bruicer? Nope. A Darius needs to get at least his stacks on his target - and is melee. Veigar not, or am i wrong? But stay in ure limited room. ;)

Stay bad at the game. :)

It can't ever oneshot realistically.

Bye! And gl by trying to be a better person.

Mildly Off topic (not tank veig, but is a mage tank) but watched a youtube main tank karthus, only non tank item that had any ap was seraph's embrace. murdered everyone got 20 kills and always most dmg on any team. Think watched 2 of his games because its surprising how effective something like that can be. Obviously the ult suffers :)

You know those other 4 people you qued up with? Ask them to help you, it's that simple.

With enough MR to survive his Q-R? And then you just melt him with classic ADC itemization because tank items are garbage lategame anyway? item 3031 item 3046 item 3006 item 3139 item 3036 item 3102

Have fun against that build, Veigar.

(and you don't even need banshees tbh; unless he's like 20/0 and the only dangerous guy in his team, you can swap it for more offense (item 3085) or more generalist defensive item (item 3026 or item 3022)
