Views: 1201 A Question About Veigar
|
I have a question about Veigar. I am aware that Veigar is a highly unplayed champion, and even more so since the DFG nerf. But is he any good? It's odd, since he's the champion which I consistently get Legendary on. It doesn't happen with any other champion I play.
I get that high mobility burst-type AP assassins or poke-type APs are the meta right now, but I don't 100% get why Veigar isn't picked so much. Can someone clarify this for me?

In fact it's probably too high if you ask me.. :/
I said it needs to drop faster. Atm you NEED to cast E in order to cast your W which is silly. It's like if you couldn't cast Urgots Q without lock on.. :/
Veigar isn't viable anymore in higher level play. The DFG nerf allows most opponents to counter him with a Rod of Ages and maybe a little magic resist if necessary. He can't insta-burst people anymore in the early and mid game which pretty much makes veigar a lot worse compared to other ap carries. His job was to blow someone up and then probably die himself but now he can't do the former part anymore so he's no longer viable.
I know I will get a lot of responses to this that he really really pwns and roflstomps in your games and things like that. However he is no longer viable on higher level play - he has become the Nasus of the ap carries.
OK, it won't work in higher level play. What about lower level play, then (I'm only a lowly bronze leaguer)?
I remember one game where someone was going mid as Veigar. The opponent rushed QSS as part of their build and suddenly, Veigar couldn't rely on Event Horizon to kill him. I suppose high level players have this common sense to take Cleanse or QSS, or maybe even just Mercury's Treads.
I might as well give it a try in this last day, seeing as the soft reset is tomorrow.
No. W base damage is big enough, it'd make your level 3+ a nightmare to anything that doesn't poke from 1000000 range.

His passive is being buffed, so I feel that'll help a bit with his mana issues o:
Imo, he didn't really NEED dfg anyway, unless people started building tanky. I've had multiple cases where I've killed carries with just EWQ, didn't even need R let alone my dfg o.o
I feel like he'd be pretty viable actually, if they made his W come down a bit faster, and buffed his base MS, and maybe decreased the mana cost of Q a bit. His Q, E, and R spells are all really good, and his W is incredibly strong, just not reliable o:
