Not raging, but simply asking why he is better. Ranged chars often do not get MR per level to offset that they are ranged, while melee commonly do. Nor does he have any special abilities meant to neutralize an AP's damage apart from his Ulti, which is countered merely by health and MR (Rylai's, RoA, Abyssal, Lich Bane, FoN for Vlad and Morde). or delayed by a silence or stun (Kass has his Silence, with decent ratio and base damage).

Kass himself has early game advantages over most ap due to his passive, and his silence. At level one between Veig and Kass, both get their common first ability (both Q).

Kass Q's first, Veig has no option to retaliate beyond AA due to silence.

Veig Q's first, Kass retaliates with Q, silenced. Kass took reduced damage and gained extra AS. Fight would remain with AA until both abilties are off cooldown. Kass out Dps'es due to passive.

Late Game, both fed.

Veig ulti's kass, Due to his passive Kass would gain a massive bonus to AS temporarily since it's based off the ignored damage, and does not state a limit to this. Kass QW's to stop any further spells and deal damage with his AS.

Veigar Stun<Kass Blink through. Uness of course Veigar uses it with Kass at the edge of the ring. which either means Kass is right at Veigar, or he's far away enough for him to escape.

I will admit however there would be a point in which Veigar's AP would be far too high to be stopped. Such as it is with Snowball passives. However Kass, if competant at all, would have been capable of harassing Veig to a point that Veigar does not have such AP (unless the gamne lasts for 3 hours)
