EPTEveryone tunnel visions on SO MUCH DAMAGE when, as Diamond correctly pointed out, a lot of people can one shot people while doing more. in addition, what peopel don't realize is that Veigar begins one shotting people the moment he gets his DFG, and sometimes a little bit before, and that continues all the way to late game. By the time late game hits, however, people have defensive items and QSSs and are grouped in team fights, when Veigar'a assassination is completely useless since he can't safely get to priority targets. What are you gonna do, blow your load ont he 200 mr 4k hp shen? Yeah sure you get him down to like 1/3 hp, but then what happens? You'r useless for the rest of the team fight and youtt team is effectively fighting a 4v5.

Veigar is weak in lane, very good early mid game, monstrous mid game, and just starts declining again down to late game when he's irrelevant. No one believes me though. They think Veigar gets stronger as the game goes on, when it's really he builds up, peaks, then falls back down. It's more like, viegar is weak early, good mid, weak late, and godlike in that super-long 80 minute game that never happens Also, isn't his stun instantaneous? If you're good at aiming it, you should get at least someone in it, I would think | ||

I really don't understand why a forum full of people who don't actually have more than 20 games of Veigar put together between them are trying to talk about how to play Veigar. I find it funny you call Veigar a non-traditional AP when Veigar is the paradigm for how AP used to be played (Veigar, Annie, old Ryze).

So if you blow up their AP carry, they might as well have blown you up too. You can shoot Q's and W's without wall (so scary...). Until your wall and ult are back up, you are a waste of space. Again, I can grab say Diana or Kat, nuke someone and STILL do stuff. In fact as an example with Diana I can blow up multiple people while providing a badass initiation that provides up to a 55% slow that you simply can't dodge like you can with Veigar wall. Even using a non-AP in Kha'Zix. Zix can poke well, provide an AOE slow, has an assassination move, and can run down teams with the leap reset like no other. He blows up one person HARD, but still has things he can do afterwords to take advantage of that man advantage. Sure Veigar blows up one person well, but that's ALL he does. He provides no utility and has half his kit that works once a teamfight. The game has evolved and that is no longer an acceptable thing for an AP carry mid I think. Remember people there is a reason people don't play Sion. Things that are good on paper are not always good in real life. | ||

If you're good at aiming it, you should get at least someone in it, I would think When everyone has 6 items Veigar is underwhelming. Yes, he -theoretically- scales infinitely - he gets 1 ap for every creep you last hit (2 for the big ones now, yay?) but have any of you guys actually sat down and thought about how much AP that is? I'll use myself as a personal example - I've played well over 1k games of Veigar. The Most AP I've gotten from his Q passive is less than 200. That adds ~400 points of damage to his full combo, unmitigated. When everyone has 6 items, you're realistically adding 200-300 points of damage depending on who you hit to your burst when everyone is rocking 3k+ hp. It's really quite insignificant. Stun is good, yeah, but it's hard to stun priority targets, and on the off chance you do, half of them can get out (think bullshit like Ezreal) and the other half have QSS. Then the team fight immediately starts and you're out an important CD :| | ||

RIP good old days, now we have all this overpowered shit that people think defines "traditional AP" zz, depends on your teamcomp if you have a support like leona with 2 bruisers mid and bot who just engaged who has time to react and insta gib you when you flash in afterwards and stun with your aoe amumu ult | ||

Maybe would do well against those double AP comps you see all the time? It's really bad versus aggressive people, but if you somehow get an earlya dvantage you can press the advantage forever. Again, it's more dependent on opponent misplay and capitalizing on it than anything inherent in support Veigar. 2 of his spells are just absolutely useless as support and his ult is only half-useful. Unfortunately this is not DotA where supports like Lion can one shot people in lane. (I've played a lot of support Veigar, but I would never do it in a serious setting) | ||

It's more Scip's comment that he runs into Veigar "quite often" which is obviously not true unless he counts running into a Veigar once a month as "quite often." The past three weeks saw a grand total of 7 Veigar picks in Challenger solo q. How many of those were Scip in lol? | ||
