Discussion: Tank Veigar (Support)

Hello LoL players. I have been reviewing some youtubers on Veigar as Support with his new changes. With my new idea, he could actually be played Tank mid and Tank top just swap out the 2 support items for tank items to fit your game. So here is my information to provide to you on the very basics of the champion (Stat Wise). Veigar Build (Support) Rod of Ages, Boots (Mobility or Luds), Warmogs Armor, Deathcap, Sightstone (Ruby as last upg), Frost Queen.

Full Build Stats at level 18 with flat armor runes and MR per level runes on seal and glyphs) Armor: 99 MR: 57 HP = 3687 AP = 311 (technically 310.5) CDR = 20-35% (Based on which boots you get)

Ability Damage (All based on 311 AP value) Q = 417 (3-4 second CD per boots) W = 611 (5-6 second CD per boots) E = (9-11 seconds CD per boots) R = 558 min. / 975 max [AP values only, missing health not included] (52-64 seconds CD per boots)

Assessment: The state provided above are only base stats with items. AP value is the raw form without including any runes or assumption of passive or Q gains of AP. Veigar appears to be a very dangerous champion as a tank. He has damage, he has one of the best hard cc in the game, and building tanky just makes him a meat shield. I think in the hands of a Duo bot lane, veigar support is possible. Solo Q is to be tested still.

What are your opinions?

I believe you will still get blown up if you look at true tanks in the game they all have some form of Dammage mitigation built into their kits. Veigar has no defense other than is stun and his range and trying to trade thouse for tank items would be less optimable. You could just play Leona give up a bit of damage and be a real meat shield. On top of that when you are playing support you have very little gold income so unless you have build in tank like Nautilus Leona Alistar you are going to be super squishy for most of the game. Finally looking at your build you dont seem that tanky you got nince hp but no resists so when you roll up in the front of the team to get that stun your going to just die and if you are playing a champ just for a AoE stun there are better option in where you can do more

I think you lack of resistances and utility. You're supposed to be a support after all, so I'd see better items like item 3050 item 3158 item 3060 item 2301

item 3027 is also very meh as a support, it takes a lot of gold and you want to have it early to stack it. I'd go item 3116 over it anyday, it provides a slow on your abilities too
