Veigars infinite ap scaling is useless because often times hes over killing.
Syndra also is over killing but has more consistent damage but more importantly Waaaaaaay better range than veigar.
So is there any reason to pick veig? its not like he does really any more dmg to tanks than sydra.
Cocho3 votesHis cage alone is a pretty disgusting spell. I could see why someone would pick him just for that alone.
In comparison to syndra, imo he's safer than syndra outside of lane. Better at seiging too
Tormentula1 votesVeigar has a bigger radius he can control with his cage, does a ton of burst damage, and infinitely scales to become a one shot monster.
Syndra is required to hit several skill shots, have the appropriate setup to get a multitarget E stun, and needs setup inorder to get a maximum damage ult, and does DPS damage over straight up burst (lots of fucking DPS at least.)
There are benefits to picking vei over syndra, such as being harder to catch out, easier to punish player mistakes as, and more teamfight control with one shotting somebody and having the rest CC'd. With syndra, she needs to get some DPS off for 7 spheres, land a good stun or find a decent follow up, kill 1 target and then DPS the rest of the team which may or may not kill her since the team can likely turn without the huge ass cage.
CannonLordFreed1 votesBecause Veigar is a First Order Optimal strategy, whereas Syndra just isn't. Essentially, Veigar is a lot easier and you have a lot less room to screw up, and you can still do a lot of damage.
Dominick Destine1 votesOne of the most powerful AoE stuns in the game and infinite scaling.... are reasons to select Veigar over Syndra.
Laxfan521 votesVeigar is easier and his wall thing can be great at zoning or picking off a champ
LadyRenly1 votesveigar has 1000 ap at 30 minutes
Archlord Aatrox1 votesbecause veigar doesn't take skill, and skill takes work, and that isn't fun
Slack King1 votesHis infinite scaling can come in handy, allowing you to build bulk in bad games. And still do tons of damage
Sinful Sorcerer1 votesNo, Veigar sucks. Syndra is better. Who the hell plays Veigar anyway? Just a noob champion for pressing R.
Frightning1 votesVeigar's scaling means he's eventually stronger than anyone else in the game (hitting 1000 AP at 30 minutes isn't even hard if you build properly, 1500 AP in a long game is also achievable). Seen Dark Matter 1-shot a chunked ADC from like 70% of max hp, no ult required. Syndra would've had to R to get that.
