Introduction
Steps to mastering Veigar:
1: Being able to last hit effectively with Baleful Strike
2: Knowing when and where to place your Event Horizon/Dark Matter Combo
3: Knowing which Champion to use your ultimate on.
I am writing my guide to try and help remove Veigar's cons from the equation when considering whether to enter a team fight or not. Building Veigar as a tank is viable due to baleful strike because it allows you to recieve 1 AP per minion killed with the ability, and (1,2,3,4,5) AP per enemy Champion that is killed. Baleful strike takes a lot of work to master, however, because it is hard at low levels to last hit the minions due to its weak damage output. The best way to get a feel for how much damage baleful strike does at level one is to practice. If you dont want to take the time/are looking at this guide while you are queued for a game, the best way to master baleful strike is to target the minion, and only attack with baleful strike if you know they will die. Last hitting is very important but such a hard thing to master that it is key to practice with baleful strike and work on your timing.
Knowing when and where to use your E,W combo is vital in being a menacing Veigar. You always want to land the edge of your E ability on an Enemy Champion, if you are close enough and they are fleeing land it so he has to run through it again to escape, if you are not close enough or are chasing/being chased but he turns around to try and finish you off, land it so he has to run through it to get you. That way, you can get him stunned in place for your W ability, or if you are escaping, allows you to get away relatively safely. For your W ability, at low levels particularily, lead them with your nuke. If you see that they were running away from you before you dropped your E, place W a little in front of them. That way, if they get out of your stun your nuke will still hit them.
Finally comes the WTFOMGHAX ult that you have, if used correctly. You always want to target an AP champion like Vlad, or Lux, or Ryze. Rarely ever, until your AP is high, do you want to target an AD champ like Ashe, or a tank like Cho'gath or rammus. That is because it deals damage based on your AP AND[ the AP of the opposing Champion. That meanss when you ult a Ryze who has 150 AP, your spell is buffed by a percentage of that 150 AP, as well as buffed by your AP as well. When you have high AP ~200+, start using it in combo with your other spells on AD or tank champs because by then you will be able to do some serious damage.
