Veigar Rework Gameplay Video

I wasn't aware that the new E came with the added bonus of having everyone purposefully walk into it, that's pretty nice XD

Thanks for showing this. It gives a good impression of how Veigar can still wreck people with that cage, even though there's counterplay to it.

Look how completely destroyed and unviable he is.

Haha if that's sarcasm then unfortunately I don't think those two games can represent how he will be in terms of power. I do feel that a lot of people are underestimating his rework though. Also, thanks for watching!

If that's not sarcasm then awks :X

TY for posting this. It does look as if the delay isn't nearly as bad as I was afraid it would be. I'll still save final judgement for when I get to play it but at least I can see he won't be gutted by this change.

It doesn't look as bad as a lot of people were expecting, but it DOES look like he's weaker than live which is already weaker than when he had DFG. The nerfs don't change the fact that he's got a bunch of free AP and huge ratios, but where previously a good Veigar could all-but guarantee a stun with E against any target and follow it up with the rest of his abilities, his W is extremely hard to land reliably against a good opponent with enough mobility to dodge the stun, his Q can be blocked or dodged as well (though it's looking sufficiently effective at least, I find it pretty unsatisfying though), and his R has a substantially reduced AP ratio. The lowered cooldowns and mana costs won't be enough to create any kind of viable alternative to burst and aren't extremely useful FOR burst so aren't much in the way of buffs.

"Here's a pretty short preview of his new kit in action. Hope you enjoy!" Bahahahahah

While this is just one game I think it shows vei is still very viable

No problemo :) Thank you for watching!

Hey thanks this was good to see. I'm the OP of one of the threads on the front page right now complaining about the Veigar rework. I'm happy to see that the projectile speed on Q looks darn snazzy and that you can still manage to catch the likes of Zed (albeit more difficult now and this is only two games of evidence).

I am curious how laning would go against a mobile mid, not another immobile mage like Malzahar. This video has alleviated a few of my fears, but I still think it needs some tweaking, as several fears remain. How often were you able to last hit 2 minions with your Q on a single blast?

here's the thing I still don't get. why did veigar get nerfed? there was NOTHING wrong with him. meanwhile kallista...

Well then. Event Horizon still works. ........ ........ WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO :D

AS I SAID, HES FINE NOW STOP QQing

;) Your welcome

i saw it! i saw the new sona skin in there.

LOL

Unfortunately I must admit that so far my experience with the PBE has been a bit underwhelming in terms of player skill level.

It wasn't purposeful though (not that it makes things much better)! Who knows, maybe new Veigar will run into high elo syndrome - unviable in higher ranks.

While he is still viable, there were so many times in that video were I got frustrated because I knew that if the stun was as it used to be, that would be a sure kill.

In one particular instance, you could've got an easy triple if the stun had had no delay.

Was not aware the E walls had a gravitational pull to them now.

That's both sarcasm and a smart joke everybody.

lol dat zed

This cage looks worse than I expected...

I love how people like Trist and Corki think they could jump over the cage and not be stunned.

Is his q a skillshot now are am I just stupid

Doesn't look too bad. Still though, these were good ganks and such; solo q is a bit more butt hurt :/

I definately saw a few time where that stun missed where it would have hit before. Also Q missed... multiple times.

Still Veigar doesn't seem ruined or the like, though that Mordekaiser Siphon in the midlane looked weak - you didn't have any MR items that I could see, anyway.

Seems ok to me. What do you mid-mains think?
