I would have to agree with Odaswifteye here. There are reasons why Veigar doesn't see any play in the challenger+ scene, and one of them is his immobile nature as a mage relying on his E. Just because he is a "mage-killer" doesn't mean he will always 100-0 a mage. His ultimate alone falls in power late game ironically from the stackment of Guardian Angels/Banshee's Veil, along with the Hourglass if the opposing midlaner knows what they're doing.

You know what is the best way to counter a Veigar if you can't stop him from snowballing? Simply tell your team to rush the aformentioned items, then Veigar can't succeed his purpose as a combo mage to kill anyone. Health stacking helps pretty much too if you treat him damage-wise as a LeBlanc. Better yet, if you're playing ranked and you see an opposing Veigar, tell your teammate to get a champion that can bypass CC, such as Malphite, Vi, Sion, Nocturne, etc. Coordination is what makes Veigar very weak in the professional scene and ultimately left unused into obscurity.
