Good start to
the guide. I'd like you to add some
VEIGAR BUILD

more content to your team fighting section and laning

section. I'd also like you to clean up a few things with
your itemizations, and masteries. Let me know if you have
any questions :)

AP mids usually do 9 utility as

opposed to 9 defense. I'd
personally move to 9 utility. -2
Also, your defensive masteris are
off ~ Enchanted armor is one of
the worst masteries in the game,
and those two points should
instead be put into something like
unyielding. Enchanted armor will
give you like, .5 MR from the MR
you get from athenes. It's
REALLY bad.

Be more specific then. Exactly

How much mana do you need to
keep stored in case "the need
arise"s??? -2
So EXACTLY how far is your Q?
I'd like you to take some
screenshots and quiz your readers
on whether a minion will get hit
by a max range Q based on where

But you just told me to use W for

trades only!! This point conflicts
with that. Also, i'd like you to go
further into detail about exactly
how you use this in trades. With it
having such a high delay, there is
a lot of counterplay your
opponents have to dodge the
meteor; I'd like you to go further
into detail about why this skill is
so goo for trading

Show us an example of how you

used this to initiate a fight. The
casting range on this spell is still
quite small compared to other
catch spells like ahri's charm, so i
think that this is a little
misleading. With the way this is
worded right now, I think that
this is kinda telling veigars to be
positioned near their front line
and initiate fights - Which isn't
always the case as tanks may be
able to initiate on veigar and
instakill him. Try rewording this
section.-4

I really don't think you need the

increased stun duration to
successfully land a dark matter. I
strongly disagree with having two
points in event horizon. With
smartcasting, you should be able
to drop down all your spells
before your opponent can react.

See comments regarding baleful

strike above. Additionally, i'd like
you to talk about how you factor
in your opponents zone control
while positioning for baleful
strike. Again, this is easiest done
by teaching through example,
like having screenshots of your
own gameplay.

So you're saying that if your

opponents roam, you never
follow their roam? If that's the
case, shouldn't you tell your
readers to push your opponents
minion wave to their tower and
punish them for leaving lane? -2
How can you tell that your
opposing mid laner is trying to
bait you in for a gank based on
their change in playstyle? -2
This one is important to me:
How do you position in team
fights to give yourself safety from
tanks and assassins looking to
flank you, while still dishing out
DPS? I'd include some pictures of
gameplay to show how your
positioning gave you enough
safety to win a fight. -7

Add a section to the laning
