- no special lines
- no special login screen
- doesn't feel legendary enough, just feels more like it might as well be his VU instead
I see. Admittedly, I was also rather peeved he did not receive a login screen, though I attributed that to the fact Arcade skins seem to be marketed as a whole, hence the group theme with Riot's Arcade event. I would say he is lacking in comparison to some legendaries, but there are others even worse off, such as Gentleman Cho'Gath or Demonblade Tryndamere.
Either way as of now being mysterious is great but it feels as if he's ignored by Rito in terms of lore and the like. Talking about yordles? It seems as if Veigar wasn't a yordle at all.
Yordles in general have very little information about them outside their individual personalities. We next to nothing about Bandle City, yordle culture, or even location since Riot is actively restructuring Runeterra. It could be argued that Veigar's character and backstory could apply to any champion, but I feel his particular instance of isolation-induced insanity is something wholly unique to yordles.
But the reason why he wasn't "rivals" with Tahm is rather intriguing... don't you agree?
I firmly adhere to the belief that Veigar is not Tahm Kench's rival, like most yordles, because the river demon already got what he wanted from Veigar; he wanted to see the world, and Tahm gave him that, the freedom to see Runeterra as a traveling merchant. The cost was years confined to a Noxian prison as the solitude slowly tore his mind apart. Veigar received what he desired, at the price of Tahm feeding on his misery over the length of his stay in Noxus. Now Veigar spreads suffering and terror wherever he goes in his bid for world domination, which serves to sate Tahm's particular appetite. They are not friends, since Veigar has no idea his actions benefit Tahm, but neither can they be called rivals.
