New spell effects on Veigar, Lee Sin, Jarvan and Vi old vs new compared.

I won't judge too harshly since the very fact Riot is doing something for Veigar that isn't tied to a skin is a blessing.

Baleful Strike is good. It's a little indistinct being mostly black fog, but I suppose it better outlines the spell's hitbox than a single, solid projectile. It needs audio feedback for when it hits a target though.

Dark Matter is much better thanks to a few embellishments. The windup is a little grating though. Maybe lower the pitch or remove that sharp whining.

Event Horizon could have been a wire fence with wooden posts and it still would have been an improvement over the original, so it is definitely better than before.

Primordial Burst looks good, but it's size is very underwhelming. People will confuse it for Baleful Strike until he builds up a lot of AP. A bump in size - at least bigger than his Q - would go a long way to improving it's presentation.

Otherwise, well done, Riot. It will hold me over until his inevitable visual update. Oh, and I guess the other VFX updates are alright.

kinda don't like what they did with the ults

veigar ult looks less flashy, and it's kind of important cause if you see veigar use his ult (the bright blue explosion), then you know he just used it so he's not going to have it for the rest of the fight, which changes your game strategy since you no longer fear getting instakilled.

Lee sin lost the blood from his kick which is lame

J4's ult looks a lot less cooler without the red glow.

Vi just looks much worse overall (since this change is purely to make things easier on lower end PCs, can it just be a graphical setting please?)

I can barelynrecognize Veigar....Vi's shield ilis awesome, J4's ult is awesome and Lee's effects and smooth af ult kick is awesome. Now if Veigar and Lee could have their models updated, and J4/Vi's repolished(with Vi's splashart getting extra polish since uer loading screen splashart is all sketchy unlike the store/log in splasharts).

About Veigar: I don't mind about the visuals effects, it's almost fine. But seriously you should improve the sfx (or reverse to old ones), we used to have a big BOOM when using W or R and now we have little farts less impressive than a random auto-attack
