I Talk a lot about Veigar, but Rarely See Riot Discuss Him

A Superb Villain··13 votes·1,385 views

Mechanically he has received some attention, but little else.

How do you feel about his thematics? His design? How about his character; personality? What opinions do you have concerning his story? Past, present, future?

Ball's in your court, Riot.

I think that Yordles in general are in dire need of Riot's attention. Many could use a VU (Corki Lulu Kennen Teemo Veigar ) others could use a VFX (Kennen Ziggs) and lore wise, almost all of them are League related, so that needs change, other then the fact that some need more info on who they are ( Why is Lulu the way she is, all friendly with everyone, is she just really fun or is she crazy ? And Veigar could also use a lot more explaining on why he is the cutest evil in all of valoran, I think we could do much better then "Noxus drove him mad" ).

Most of them do need an update, some more desperately than others. That said, Poppy's will be arriving any week now, perhaps within the month! I am very much looking forward to that!

And you are right that the vast majority of yordles are closely tied to the League of Legends and the Institute of War, leaving many with lacking lore thanks to recent changes. We must know more about them.

Yeah, fingers crossed as far as Poppy goes.

Hey Superb, did you ever watch this vid ? As a fellow Yordle fan, I think that you will enjoy it as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1aZc4rNJBU&index=26&list=PL3iQPMo-F8uIRWiDxB3BpB2GlgAF82njO

I did. It is one of their older works, but still a pleasant one. I enjoy quite a few parodies from Instalok. That said, my personal favorite is Veigar's bit from Shadow Arcade.

I don't think many Yordles are really talked about often by Riot. Considering Veigar, this is hilarious.

I'd like it if he got a Heimerdinger-like VU, along with every other Yordle. Especially Lulu, considering her head is larger than Malphites.

They've been doing a fairly good job at constantly trying to delete him from the game.

If it's not for 5.4, or how little love they had for the Final Boss... (it seems rushed in terms of quality as compared to other legendary skins)

Veigar's must be THE threat to the removal of the IoW. What if he was the one who destroyed it therefore forcing Rito to remove lore completely?

(Also all hail our lord of darkness)

Can you blame them? Final Boss Veigar was actively corrupting League's code!

It seems fairly acceptable to me. What do you feel it is lacking in comparison to other skins?

I would not put it past The Tinay Master of Evil to plunge the world into chaos with such action.

Praise be to he who aims to conquer the world!

  • no special lines
  • no special login screen
  • doesn't feel legendary enough, just feels more like it might as well be his VU instead

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.

But the reason why he wasn't "rivals" with Tahm is rather intriguing... don't you agree?

I approve entirely of this comment line. Take a glorious upvote Veigar Lulu

I still wonder how Veigar and I are friends.

Or more than just friends.

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.

I'd like to know what he looks like under the hat. I bet he's adorably evil looking.

A Superb Villain2 votes

Consensus suggests the community as a whole believes Veigar is adorable under the hat. I would not mind if he is in the slightest; why should evil always appear terrifying or intimidating?

I'd love it if Riot talked about Veigar more. I have so many questions about the master of evil that i need answered!

There are a lot of champions to talk about, many that require more attention. However, I would like to ask them, directly, for their opinion on Veigar, one of League's oldest characters.

I would say Cassiopeia's circumstances are more along the line deliberate neglect than simply forgetting about her.
