Should Veigar's Stacks be Visible like Nasus'?

T4R, I realized last match that when you click on an enemy Veigar his Q stacks do not show up on his stat bar like Nasus' do. Should this be changed, or is it irrelevant?

He doesn't have Q stacks. He has AP. Nasus has it so the enemy can see how many stacks he has and how much of a threat he is. For Veigar, just check the AP.

It's not really relevant. Each stack is just 1-5 AP (depending on if a minion (1) or champion (5) died). Just looking at his AP is better, as knowing Veigar has 500 stacks isn't as important as knowing he has 1000 AP. His AP is determining all his damage still, unlike Nasus where his Q stacks determine all of his damage. It could be shown, but there is not much of a reason to show it.

I don't think I would mind a counter. Doesn't hurt anyone to know that 400+ of Veigar's AP is from stacks. I mean you can't do anything about it and he is already at 1.2k+ AP. I think it would be better for clarity, especially for newer players.

No.

You can see Nasus's stacks so you know how much damage he's doing. Veigar's stacks are flat ap and you can see that without knowing how much are from stacks.

This would be nice

As others have said, you can see how much of a threat he is by looking at his AP.

One potential downside of showing them is that allies might start flaming the Veigar player if they could easily see how many (or few!) stacks he has.

as a Veigar player, this would help me out a ton. I gage how far ahead and behind I am based on my AP at given points in the game, and having to check my Q tooltip to find out makes it very hard to do so when I'm focusing on surviving lane, avoiding ganks, and managing the minion wave for last hits.

I definitely wouldn't mind it, but not super high priority. Just have it for convenience sakes (not sure how hard it would be to make a self-buff that simply displays how much AP your Q has accumulated.)

Well.. they are.. kinda, by clicking on him and looking his stats and Items... but yeah, you´re right directly showing it would hurt noone and would serve **"#Clarity" ** :P

They don't need to be.

The amount of AP he has is all that matters.
