My thoughts on the new Veigar

So Q...nerf. First off, they made it a skill shot. With all the dashes in league, this just made his Q pretty hard to harass champs at all with. They are acting like it hitting 2 units is a buff. Not even. In lane, how many times are two minions lined up in a row with low enough health to kill them both? Pretty damn rare. So, you aren't going to get the 2 kill thingy they are trying to sell. I also see no "killing an enemy with any source of power grants AP thingy".

W. With the E nerfs, this is a straight nerf. Sure, it's mana got reduced. The problem is that Q farming alone runs you too low on mana to even try to combo the lane enemy. So what about after lane? Veigar doesn't have mana troubles at all. So the mana change did nothing.

E. Da fuq? "In a time where mobility creep is a thing, we are going to give all these mobile champs time to get out of the way of his stun." Makes no sense to me at all.

R. Nerfed. But, will still be powerful.

Overall: They took another unpopular champ and nerfed them because they don't make #LC$BIGPLAY$. Didn't even address the mana problem he has that stems from Q, not the other abilities. They didn't "change/rework" Vegiar, they straight up nerfed him after DFG was already taken out of the game. It is bullshit how they are nerfing these champs and not even touching champs like Zed.

Edit: Oh yeah, want to last hit that minion in the middle of the wave with Q? Lol, nope! Yeah, that will really increase his AP from double farming lolz.

Lets face it, they removed Veigar's CC.

What I would love to see is a larger version of Jarvan's ult that prevents dashes/blinks from escaping and have that be the cage. Do you still have trouble with people not being stunned? Yes, but you get to laugh at mobility champions panicking as they can't get out. With today's mobility creep, that feels like the correct, and truly evil, thing to do.

I just am trying to understand Riot's logic. Veigar was perfectly balanced. Then they remove DFG and Riot goes, "Hmmm...this makes Veigar weaker. We should probably nerf EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS ABILITIES."

Riot wants to remove burst mages. First one was Syndra, other will be Veigar. Also Ahri got a massive damage reduction on her single target burst. Mordekaiser will get too. What is wrong with burst? Meanwhile ADCs can deal 1k critic on their AA nearly as Veigar ult.

I think the only way we will get riot to stop stupid reworks like this is if we stop using champs like Zed who riot refuses to deal with entirely and stick to champs riot has forgotten like Urgot Yorick TaricPoppy (only saying poppy because she was saposed to be the next rework and we gotTristana instead).
