How the conversation about the Veigar changes went down at Riot HQ.

Riot: Alright everyone who are Veigar's biggest counters in lane right now, and what is he good at? : I'm AD, energy, and teleport, his only hope is to instantly stun me and nuke me down. : I passively resist 15% of his damage, teleport, slow, and am granted a shield when I attack him. He has to stun me first and then attempt to nuke me down even with my passive. : I teleport everywhere and get damage on him almost without retaliation. If he doesn't stun me I can push him out of lane constantly. Riot: Alright thanks for the input! We've decided to not only give his stun a massive 0.75 second delay we've also given it warning particles so he can never stun you guys again! : Thanks Riot, I can always count on you. I'll keep making those #BigLCSplays.

Riot: Alright what else can Veigar do competently? : Well his whole identity is to nuke people down. It's his only real valid playstyle. His ult looks pretty good. Riot: You're right, Ahri, his ultimate is pretty powerful. Let's compensate him for the removal of 20% extra damage by removing 20% of his ratio on R! : Wait, how is that-- Riot: Carrying on! Hmm how should we compensate him for these changes? : Well he's an immobile mage, which in this meta is pretty bad. I already had mobility and you gave me even more so why not give him-- Riot: A double hit on Q? Hmm but we'd have to make it an unreliable skillshot. : No, actually I was going to say how about giving him some mo-- Riot: More damage? Nah, how would giving him more damage compensate for taking away an item that gave him damage? : Actually I think she was talking about mobility, you know, like an escape? Maybe movement speed while Q is out or E is on the field? Riot: But what about MOVEMENT CREEP? I mean, it's not like your three biggest counters in lane have any significant mobility. : B-But they all teleport... Riot: So just stun them! : ... but you just gave that a massive delay... Riot: I can't hear you you're too short! Go have some negligible buff on W and go hang out in the corner with Cassiopeia.

: It happened to you too, huh? : Yeah...
