Is Veigar at all viable in ranked?

[quote=React]Is veigar viable in high and low elo ranked matches?[/quote]

[quote=GrimmFate]Other team has more than one AP char? He nukes'em dead. Ofc he is.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Depends really. He's like Kass combined with Nasus IMO. Strong niche pick with a specific role. Weak early game but strong late game. Kills other casters without blinking mostly just by using his ult and having a 1:1 ratio on an already high damage skill isn't bad either.[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]Depends on your skillcap with [[Veigar]]. In ranked, you NEED to land your jail on the enemy AT LEAST 90% of the time, or else you'll have a hard time. DO NOT pick [[Veigar]] if you are mid, and the enemy has a [[Kassadin]]. Kass is by far Veigar's worst ap champ to be agaisnt[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Every champ is viable if you can play him~[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Hes viable , just don't get frustrated if early on hes not blowing the enemy team away. But with his great CC ability end game hes a monster.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]He kills every one. (except [[Kassadin]])[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Veigar certainly has design problems. He isn't designed to compete well with traditional AP carries in the current meta game (by that I mean most other AP carries can fill his role better). However, he does do something the best, and for that he has a niche role. He is a godlike burst champion. Most of the problem, however, is he has a massive skillcap, and combined with design flaws, he's hardly played. If you play veigar to the fullest I would consider him viable, but that's very difficult and hardly ever happens.[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]He sucks. Might work in low elo, but at higher level play your opposing laner will recognize how shit veigar is and just stomp him early game. Sure, he has burst to kill a squishy caster. So does malz, annie, cassio, gragas, xerath, etc etc... People who say "BUT HE OWNS CASTERS" don't realize how many casters are capable of nuking other casters. He's like 75% of other casters late game and the worst caster early game. The only unique thing he has is a really strong stun, but other than that he's just outdone by other casters.[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]Veigar is an awesome champion, that requires a high skillcap. If you,re not a noob with him, you won't suck even at high ELO. To date, the only champion that were able to beat my veigar mid were Kassadin. No one other than him bested me. Veigar is hard to master, but when you do, he kicks ass. As I said above, the ONLY champion that can stop me from farming is [[Kassadin]]. Not even [[Leblanc]] can. But that is because I probably have around 250 game played with [[Veigar]], resulting in me being experienced with him. I know exactly what to do, when to do it, how to do it and how to react if it fails.[/quote]
