These changes are definitely going to give Veigar a stronger laning phase, if only because he'd be able to accrue twice as much AP. He's also getting more range on it, better mana costs on the rest of his abilities, and overall much lower cooldowns. He's becoming less reliable, for sure, but then again literally all of his kit right now is undodgeable in the hands of someone who knows how to use his E (his main nukes being point-and-click also don't give him that much room for skill expression).

Overall, though, I feel like this mini-rework, along with Mordekaiser and Zilean's, is a bit incomplete. Veigar's W is still overly dependent on his E stun, his mana restoration passive is crap, his Q AP generation on champion kills ramps up per level when it should be constant, and his ult still has that 80% enemy AP ratio that doesn't do much in the way of gameplay or clarity. He could be perfect with a few more tweaks, but these changes just seem to be there to make him less toxic (which is still good, though).
