the biggest problem with Veigar is his kit's exceptionally weak early game spells.

you want to level up Q so that you get that juicy extra AP

BUT you want to level up E so that it has a reasonable cooldown and a good stun duration, since this is your only form of defense during the laning phase

BUT screw all of that, you need to level up W because its your primary source of wave clear and your strongest poke

Some would argue that this how a late game ap carry works, but there's a difference between having a 1 point wonder spell like Diana's E or Malz's W or Velkoz's E or Anivia wall and spells like Event Horizon that you have to let suck because you need levels in W or Q badly.

Riot mentioned that they would definitely look at him and reassess this particular problem... at the end of season one. He's kind of been left out in the cold since then.
