Just tried this build and was 6-0 by 15 min mark. Raped trist in mid. Only died b/c our trynd was bad and wasn't in half the teamfights later on ;o
Definitely liking this build.

I gotta say, being able to walk up to Mord and shoot him in the face repeatedly and with impunity is pretty damned funny.

Yea this is exactly it. People are used to seeing you blow your cooldowns then run away, but now you just stand there unloading nuke after nuke on them.

Seems like these locket first builds are becoming quite popular, been seeing them a lot this week on various casters (im at ~1450 elo on europe). Lost a game vs a locket mejais kassa, had a lot of trouble vs him. In that game, I was like 'how can locket be better than RoA?' but it rly offers a lot more survivability and allows you to run over ur lane.

I tried this and it was hilarious. At one point i was 4-0 up and tanking 2 of them / taking hits off the tower to get a double kill. Ridiculous.

this build is so funny, its really funny to be practically invincible in lane and have the potential to farm literally forever. I used to have awful mana issues with veig, but locket pretty much remedies that completely.

SoS will bring you to 13 hp/sec

SoS gives you 13 hp per second? Wow that sounds OP.

Only if you open sapphire crystal which gives you probably double mana almost.

I highly doubt SoS is giving 8 times as much regen as a Doran's Shield.

That probably should be Hp5.

SoS gives you 15 HP regen every 5 seconds, for every 1000 max mana you have. HP regen is usually measured every 5 secs, so what was meant was most likely:

'With a Mana Sapphire, SoS will increase your base HP regen (4.5 health per 5) to 13 health per 5', which amounts to a net gain of 8.5 health per 5 from SoS.

Indeed, that was a typo. I've corrected it.

SoS gives you 8.5, for a total of 13ish

Due to an unreasonable team-mate, I laned bot with my friend who played Janna and just let me take all the last-hits. I didn't actually check what time I got my catalyst or locket, but it didn't feel tooo much later than normal. We stomped all over our lane anyway and went on to just push our lane all the way to the inhibitor turret with no problems.

bout time ppl realized locket was insanely good. great buildup, cheap, provides a TON of stats that are useful to almost any caster with a spammable nuke.

dunno why people kept building RoA or Archangel's on Sona after the locket change

I just played a game and had reasonable good stats with the Veigar Locket build. It's really a lot of fun and makes him much more durable against nukers. On the other hand people will really try to poke fun at you for building it on veigar. If you live to cast your ultimate against a heavy caster, they will drop pretty hard though.

What's the best way to build laning Veigar?

Dorans Ring -> Catalyst -> Boots -> Locket?

Skip the D-ring. Go mana crystal + hp pot => catalyst => locket => boots.

Just won a 4v5 with locket veigar. I actually was just screwing around since I figured we lost. So went locket -> boots -> RoA -> rylais -> zhonyas. It gave me like 3.4k hp so I could nuke 3 people dead by the time they killed me if they focused on me lol.

They called veigar op.

I tried this today and they refused to give me mid so I was top wasnt very effective but I still managed to get a locket at around the 11 minute mark. Team played like shit but everytime I managed to walk into a teamfight I made it a living hell for them, the game dragged out into an epic 50 minute game where we slowly turned it around on them Veigar building up to 700+ AP with zhonya rylais etc.

Lategame I was a little blue walking deathbomb that made them run in fear I found out that deathfire's grasp is kind of disgusting on veigar though with the extra 3.5% per 100 AP if I threw a deathfire at a tank they took over 50% of their health if they got caught in the E>W wombo combo they were almost entirely dead. This plus the cooldown reduction was just sick, their carries ran in fear of my R. Had 3k health... it was just wrong very very wrong.
