EPTDue to Veigars passive you have mana to keep on harassing with Q. Stun and W takes too much mana early on.

I don't understand how this makes sense. If you want to maximize AP, shouldn't use try to last hit as much as possible with Q? I mean yeah if there's no available minions to farm with Q, then yeah I understand using it to harrass... but really? | ||

NYjacky style is only for very high level games or tournaments where people play very safe and there arent opportunities for lane kills and winning lane while Q farming. I would never ever play this style in soloque, as you can easily farm your Q and win your lane at the same time with a bit of skill. Its like Reginald Karthus maxing wall over defile in tournaments. Its a very specific strategy where he knows he wont have any opportunity to get kills in lane without serious ganks, and is sacrificing damage for added teamfight utility and support of these rare big plays. Playing like this at anything less than a top level is just dumb, you will have many many opportunities to win lane and get 1v1 kills in soloque. | ||

After level 5 or so, if you CAN hit the enemy champion with Q, you'd obviously choose to hit them with Q instead of farming a minion with it. Chunking an enemy champion better than 1 AP. | ||

More than GP's Parrrley ever was. | ||

like at the very least you want to start trading at level 5 if not earlier so you can prepare for level 6 burst farming with Q before first buy generally doesn't result in significant AP gains - like 15 at most? - while it will open you up to extreme harass every time your Q is down - its not so much for the damage as much as you will be extremely vulnerable TO damage, making you unable to hold lane control | ||

Ever since I have adapted Nyjackys style, I win more lanes and more games in the few games of Veigar I play. I'm not saying it's the key to Veigar, but if you never played him like that you should give it a try. It makes Veigar a whole lot more fun for me.

I don't really want to turn this off-topic, but I thought maxing wall on Karthus second is pretty standard? Karthus is pretty much one of my main champions and I see little reason to max defile early when the slow and magic pen goes up nicely on wall (80% slow imba). Catching the opponent in lane with wall is the best way to get some good and safe damage on them and maxing it makes that way easier. I'd put less points in Wall when I can't catch my oponent out with it (Kassadin for example blinks and/or silences me so i can't use the effects of the wall) or I don't get blue buff and am in need of the mana regen on defile. | ||

Its not standard, Defile gives you huge damage and better sustain while 40 from wall is usually plenty to do what you need.

Still lacks pushing power. It's also a sacrifice in terms of your burst. | ||

It seems like a decent option for more free AP. Still lacks pushing power. It's also a sacrifice in terms of your burst. Press W -> best lane shove NA? | ||

My problem with max W is the relatively longer cooldown on W and the fact that it is difficult to land. Even with the stun, people running merc treads, cleanse, and QSS can escape you. | ||

you don't have to rigidly adhere to maxing one over the other... | ||

I know, but in this meta, you know how the matchup is going to go based on the picks. Mid pushes you to your tower, you have to max W, you can't kill anyone until mid game when your Q starts getting maxed. That's why Veigar doesn't get picked. | ||
