Now it's an execution ult.
"I MUST KILL THE ASSASSINS!"
Riot: "NO, VEIGAR. YOU ARE THE ASSASSINS!"
It seems like it'll do way more damage to more than just mages if they aren't at full HP. So, yeah you won't be able to "Press R" 100-0 them with just R. However, that isn't really fun for anyone but Veigar. ;)
That being said, it should be a lot easier to farm up stacks! so maybe it'll still be there when the patch is released (before they nerf it)
It was stupid to reward him for how well the enemy mage did anyway. This new ult still does incredible damage if the target is low enough. 750 + 150% AP is no joke.
I have to be honest, I never liked how anti-mage on Veigar was supposed to work. His 100-0 burst I actually don't mind, it's how uninteractive his enemy AP ratio is.
Kassadin and Maokai, their anti-mages in that mages use abilities, which makes it easier for their kits to function with the number of spells used in their vicinity, which can be played with and around by both sides.
Spell shields are cool because they are reactive or premptive means of battling mages, but they are brief and must be used wisely.
Veigar's anti-mage status is basically the laziest form of anti-mage you can do. I could make champion XYZ have a simple, basic enemy crit scaling on his/her/its basic attacks and call him an anti-marksman (or anti-Yasuo), but how interesting is that?
I'm actually curious. Since Veigar's E gives him assists even if the enemy is only within it, does he gain AP just from trapping somebody in it, or does he actually have to stun them?
More than anything I wish they normalized the damage (no enemy ratios or missing health damage) and increased the range a bit.
is Veigar still an anti-mage?
They took out most fun reason to play Veigar. Welp I wonder where this will go.
What good does hitting 1k on someone with 100 hp left
Not even against mages. It's been turned into a generic clickshot execute. I miss the days when I could ult a full HP ADC and bring them to 30% essentially removing them from the fight.
They basically gave him Garen's execution ult. Gonna miss the nukes
not like hitting anyone with a Q won't make your ult do more damage than it does now tho
silver linings
I mean it was stupid that it punished the ap mid laner for getting ahead
I'd much rather see Veigar rewarded for farming well than his enemies punished for farming well. He'll still delete people with his R, as long as he stacks enough Phenomenal Evil.
Hmm well his kit make him more powerfull by simply hitting champion with his ability so idk wht is the problem ................ oh yeah now he doesnt require skill .[slayer-jinx-wink]
but then you realize how much free ap he's getting from his passive and now the first image applies to everything he does to everyone (ps i have no idea how much ap he's getting for free, i haven't seen gameplay)
