Omega Squad Veigar's ult (and possibly q)

I am a veigar main and have been waiting 2 1/2 years for a new veigar skin. Finally riot has introduced a new veigar skin, Omega Squad Veigar. I loved the skin spotlight video (link below) of the skin, but I have a complaint about the ultimate animation. I don't want to seem ungrateful or anything, but i think the ult is a little underwhelming for such a cool skin. It seems to me like a big blue bolt, it holding back the cool effects like his e and w, also the interactions with his eyes, his q is like his ult, but that isn't that bad due to it being a q animation. I usually expect veigar's ult to be interesting at least for a 1350 skin. For instance, bad santa veigar throws a present, i find that one cool. Instead this one is a bigger pulsefire caitlyn Q. A suggestion i have is to make the ult a big nuke or missile or even a big grenade. This is supposed to be an Omega Squad skin, the ult should be more military like, instead of magical. Isn't that the whole point of these skin? They are supposed to make them in an alternate identity instead of strictly from their lore. Anyways, thanks for hearing me out and upvote this so it can reach Riot.

I'll agree that the ult is a problem. Not for reasons of satisfaction though, but for clarity. I had to watch a few times to realize when he was ulting. Visually, it looks exactly like his Q. Slightly bigger and with an odd jump animation; but both are small details that won't be easily noticed in the heat of combat.

It's going to turn into Project Ashe ult/Hawk all over again. (>_>)

For veigars ult i expected something that goes BOOM u know? I mean yes the Omega squad theme is more about realistic-themed things but guys... this power could shatter the fking universe just look at its icon or name its pure power! In the skin its just... it could be easily a basic abtility like kassadins q or sth... ESPACIALLY the moment when it hits the enemy is just... meh

I agree with you, I don't like the ult animation much either. Everything else is perfect though.

The ult itself looks real nice really, but that's not really the issue I have with it...

It just... Doesn't really have the "BANG" you expect from Veigar's ult. I think part if it may also be because of how loud the cast sound is. There's no buildup for the impact, it's just sorta deafened out by the cast. I think the same goes for the visuals too, with the projectile being so "Noisy" that the explosion becomes less visually impactful.

The first thing I thought when I watched the spotlight a few days ago is - "Ok now show us the ult !?!? "

Its really almost identical to his Q animation, if not even smaller and less obvious. They MUST change this for the sake of clarity.

It definitely shouldn't just come out of nowhere like it does.

My one major issue with Veigar is always his Ult and Q feel to similar. That's why his Final Boss skins is so amazing because that ult is just amazing. Seeing this ult, I really wish it was something more than just a bigger Q.

Yeah, I looked at it and thought they could have done a better job with the ult.

The ult was the most disappointing thing ever. Was expecting something grand and fitting for omega squad veigar but I was getting confused if it was another version of his q until replaying it.

Welp...Too late now....Why do we even try ;][zombie-nunu-bummed]

I honestly hope they do something about the ult. The skin overall is pretty good but man the ult feels completely underwhelming. I never comment on upcoming skins but I do hope this time around a ton of people share my thoughts and RIOT ends up changing it to something more appropriate.

I agree, they could have done something like a rocket or a missile.

i also find the animation for him sending out the ult is weird, it looks like he is pooping it out

i love the eye effects

the actual ult effect on the other hand has me conflicted, for all we know it might actually look incredible the more ap you get which unfortunately they haven't shown yet

Giving feedback is fine: helps Riot know what we want.

In this case, I agree with you. At most it's a slightly larger Q. Firing a nuke/ missile etc. would be ideal but at the very least maybe fire it from his gun?

I said this in another thread, but why isn't his ult the rocket launcher featured in his recall? It would flesh out the theme a bit more and be more appropriate for what his ult does.

Agreed, the omega squad theme has so much potential, why didn't they take advantage of it for the ult? At the moment it's just a slight bigger version of Q... Extremely underwhelming.

LordBrasca7/16/2017, 9:10:16 PM1 votes

Also from what i've seen he's throwing the ult with... nothing? He does a little jump and the spell comes out of his body? Doesn't veigar always use his giant glove to throw the ult? :/

I have to say that it's extremely lazy by their side this time...

I totally agree, pretty much everything else about this skin is pretty cool, the sounds the animations. The little way his eyes change is adorable! I really hope the ult is changed, maybe it would feel better in game, but atm it doesn't look as good as I feel like it could be.
