I personally don't like of what is expected to happen in the following patches. With the removal of Deathfire Grasp, we are likely going to see Veigar buffed in compensation for a core item removed. What bothers me though is that he will probably be on the road to being nerfed from overtuning, despite showing apparent weakness in the early game - late game (yes, I believe Veigar eventually falls off late game from the typical Guardian Angel's/Banshee's Veil fortification). Of whatever the replacement NLR item it will be, I hope that is alone for Veigar to compensate with. He mostly excels in the mid-late phase of a match ONLY if he gets kills through laning and roaming early on, then it is mandatory for him to finish the game while the enemy team are behind in gold (unable to burst counter).

With the removal of DFG, I'll probably start rushing Tear more often with the usual Flask in lieu of DFG. I've been trying the ArchA and Frozen Heart combination against AD assassins in lane, but I find it rather mediocore. Don't get me started on the spell vamp. items either, they require you to go in so deep in the mid game that it is rather counter-productive with your short ranges.
