Veigar Build Guide by Melink422

Wow, you have got to be kidding me. This is the biggest troll vote I've ever seen. I checked your profile, which you just happened to make today, and I noticed that you down voted 9 different Veigar guides in one day with very little said everytime. By the sound of it, you are no expert and know nothing about playing Veigar. Zhonya's Hourglass is a great item on him. You probably didn't read the guide either. It's a shame that someone like me, who spent many hours typing up this guid, loses 5% on my overall guide rating because people like you think it's funny to vote a guide down for no good reason. Just look at the post above yours. That was CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. You simply down vote because you don't like one item. Why don't you just say, "Hey, I disagree with this item choice and this is why." That's acceptable and we can talk about it. But I really don't appreciate the fact that you down voted this guide simply for one item. Finally, if you would have read the guide, you would've seen in the introduction the following:

Disclaimer: Keep in mind this is not the perfect build, but one that has just worked for me and my play style. If you don't agree with something, please feel free to change it according to your play style and post a comment to let me know what you changed and why. Good luck!

Take a hint and quit troll voting to get your own guide up in the ranks. We aren't a jerk to your guide so why be one to ours?

I read your guide and there is not much that should be changed. I do however recommend taking rabadon's deathcap later in the game. Why? Because it's just flat AP, once veigar has DFG he has enough power to kill everyone for the first 30 min of the game. This is time where I like to get a little survivability on him so I can survive other harras/nuke easier.
On the skill sequence, you are leveling event horizon pretty quick and leaving the last few lvls for baleful strike. I prefer leveling Q first as once it's hits lvl you can 1hit at least caster minions, making it very easy to drop Q whenever you happen to walk across a minion/jungle creep to get 1 extra AP very easy, with lvl 3 you can do that. You only need a lvl 2 event horizon for hitting dark matter in your combo, that's why I suggest leveling your dmg skills over event horizon after it reached lvl 2. This may give you some problems if you really rely on your stun as you won't be able to stun as often as you are used to. Being selective with event horizon and using it at the right time only makes a veigar player a good veigar, master this spell and you mastered veigar.

Interestingly enough, I actually used to upgrade Veigar's skills more in the way you are talking about, by only upgrading Event Horizon to level 2 or 3 and then maxing out Dark Matter and Baleful Strike. However, I stopped doing that because people with Mercury's Treads or any other form of tenacity were taking the stun, but not the Dark Matter that immediately followed. So, I started leveling up Event Horizon with Dark Matter, which I got a lot more successful with because not only was the stun duration longer, but the cooldown was also significantly shorter. This meant that after I used Event Horizon in a team fight, it was typically back off of cooldown by the time I needed it to be if I was being pursued by an enemy. As for Rabadon's Deathcap, I don't know if I completely agree with you simply because if the enemy buys any kind of magic resist and you are holding off on buying Rabadon's, then you likely will struggle to kill them. Veigar's AP ratios are very good (even Deathfire Grasp scales off of his AP), so why not take the extra damage over another item that you would have bought first. I am curious as to what item you would have built before Rabadon's though, if you don't build it immediately after Deathfire Grasp.

99% of the people is stupid and does not know the meaning of magic resistance/armor ^^

After DFG I grab a quick abyssal, together with runes and boots it gives me 50 flat penetration very early game, that's all you need ^^

Yeah, glass-cannon Veigar is okay, but why not pick up some resistences while you build your AP? And the magic penetration you get is really good early game.

I build an early abyssal as it gives me ap + flat pen but most important mr against the one who I am laning mid against (mostly other ap carries (europe style)). Building armor early game is a bit stupid in my eyes as ad carries need to be fed to be effective (aka late game) contrare to ap carries (aka mid game)

Yeah, that's typically why I build my Abyssal Scepter before the Zhonya's Hourglass. Good points!
