I wont vote this since it is yet untried, but i like the idea, the only thing i would replace is banshees for abyssal personally, i think itll be great with this, and APs dont usually give veigar much problems, (R) and i hate getting 3 shotted by Tryn >.>'

I like the idea very much, you could also consider to buy more AP at first, but sell them later on for tank Items, when you have made up for the lack with your AP farming.
Veigar is capable of killing squishies within 1 combo anytime and while its nice to have the ability to 1 shot tanks as well, it doesnt always go that way and if you fail to kill these targets with 1 combo, you´re left vurnerable.

I had a nice game yesterday, where the other team had a Veigar and he pretty much owned us hard.
I was playing Singed and even when I got my FoN, he still managed to kill me very quickly.
However as the game proceeded and we came into lategeme, I was just too nimble and tanky for him, he couldnt really stop me, and I also had enough dmg with RoA and Rylais and Abyssal to bring him to very low HP once I got him, which wasnt a problem either.
So Veigar scales into lategame like few others, but still he becomes very weak against those who manage to get close to him.
I just like your idea, I will do this everytime from now on to see how good it can be.

This needs to not be expired! Tank Veigar right along side jungle Veigar! It's the new OP!

IGNITE??!!? are you serious? As Veigar?

you should not be playing a tanky dps as a veigar. he is a squishy burst, and his job is to nuke down someone and run. there are champions that can do the job youre giving veigar much better.

unconventional viegar ftw

1) Your job is to kill, not to act as a DPS. Your job is not to be an offtank. Your job is not to be a stunbot. There are champions MUCH better suited for each and every one of those roles.

2) You want to be an offtank DPS? Play a Rumble. Play a Javan. You know why they're good at being tanky DPS and Veigar isn't? Because first off, they have much higher natural health. Second, they have a skill that grants them tankyness. Sure you can build tanky on any champion on make them a tank, but there are champions much better suited to be an actual tank.

3) You want to be a tanky stunbot? Play an Udyr. His job in a teamfight is to just get inside their team and stun/whack the hell out of everyone. And Udyr serves as a much better stunbot because his cooldown is 6 seconds and has a reliable on-click stun. Oh, and he also has naturally high health and a tanky skill.

4) Veigar's job in a team fight is to do either one of two things: Destroy their initiator, or get behind and destroy the carries. You shouldn't have to worry about dying because you should either be in the back or be going around. If you're really in a situation in a teamfight where you're being targeted, get a Zhonya's.

The point is, there are champions much better suited to the role you're giving Veigar right now.

Also, you should NEVER target an Irelia because she WILL have Merc Treads to stack with her passive. You'll never land your combo she'll just bladesurge on your face and you'll be dead.

By building CDR, I don't "just combo", I have a lot of sustained DPS, as well as being a stunbot and offtank (which makes survivability relevant). This allows me to be useful past my combo. Also, I am able to get both damage and survivability, for not too large of a penalty.

I'm going to rate this down because of the following:
Veigar's usefulness in team fights often does not extend much past his initial combo. Therefore, survivability is irrelevant. Veigar builds need to focus on his damage output.

oops forgot to vote!

Like the guide, tried this guide and it and find the stun a lot more useful especially earlier in the game. Like how it gives more survivability, yet also gives a good amount of AP. +1
