Concerning Veigar: Nice Nerfs, Riot >:)

So as many of you probably remember, Veigar received some pretty harsh nerfs a while back, shortly after the removal of DFG. In case you didn't, his previously targeted Q is now a skillshot with slightly greater range, and his E has a .5 second delay upon casting it before it a appears. Oh noes, counterplay!

My thoughts: ~ Q is now even BETTER, as you can stack almost twice as much, assuming you're good with it. The range also allows Veigar to deal with some characters that he previously couldn't (such as talon, who is not only AD rather than AP, but has an instant gap-close), allowing him to farm more easily in lane. ~ W is now much harder to land (not because of any range nerfs or delays or anything, but because of the E nerf). ~ E has counterplay now. You can't just instastun any fool who wanders too close, you actually need to catch them in it and hope they get spooked into the wall. ~ R is just like it was before, stupid point-and-click damage that kills most mages in one hit. Kappa.

My Summary: He can still delete people, but his box is now pretty exclusive to teamfights and escapes. In lane, people are (hopefully) smart enough to avoid the walls, and in addition, the meteor. All-in-all though, he never needed DFG, he never needed the insta-stun, and he never needed a point-and-click q. He will still nuke you and make you release your BM right into your pants.
