Veigar's new lore confirms what we suspected all along

That he's actually a big softie saturday morning cartoon villain confirmed An enthusiastic master of dark sorcery, Veigar has embraced powers that few mortals dare approach. As a free-spirited inhabitant of Bandle City, he longed to push beyond the limitations of yordle magic, and turned instead to arcane texts that had been hidden away for thousands of years. Now a stubborn creature with an endless fascination for the mysteries of the universe, Veigar is often underestimated by others—but even though he believes himself truly evil, **he possesses an inner morality that leads some to question his deeper motivations. **

Veigar's basically a Dr. Doofenshmirtz now. Which is actually hilarious.

I'm not sure I like this; he is essentially Institute of War era Xerath now. And Xerath is a mustache twirling villain. Ye gods, they've swapped archetypes! That said, this is a huge departure from Veigar's established character, which is evil for its own sake, a penchant for megalomania, and frightening power. Veigar is the card carrying villain of League, there was nothing misunderstood about him; he spent years locked up in a cell, went insane, and decided to conquer the world.

Judged on its own, this lore is actually pretty good.

However, being judged and compared to his old lore, it kind of demotes Veigar.

Yeah, I know Veigar is never really meant to be taken seriously in game, but his past lore was pretty dark.

I guess they're just trying to make in game veigar and lore veigar the same tho, so that makes sense.

Hmmm, I wanted him to actually be evil. In the grand scheme of things I don't mind this so much. He needs a VU urgently though, but probably won't get it for a long while

Hmm sort of a let down.

I don't know. One one side, it kind of fits him; but in the other, Veigar was like the opposite of Poppy before: While she was a more serious Yordle who didn't really enjoy being with her own people, Veigar was a normal Yordle who got isolated by force, and experienced the consequences. This bio hints that he willingly plays at being a villain now, rather than believing himself as one as a result of insanity.

What do you mean? It doesn't confirm he's a cannon minion is disguise.
