1. If galio goes MR/lvl blues + athene's unholly grail + abyssal scepter + merc treads + banshees veil he will have 222 MR, and a 111 AP bonus, spending 9515 gold, while spending 3600 gold on rabadon's would give him more AP, so I dont get the " ridiculous amounts" part. Besides, an AoE taunt for 2 seconds fucks everybody, not just ap carries, and a slowed caster does more than a AD carry with a slow and a AS speed debuff (AP carries tend to be kind of tanky thanks to itens RoA, Rylais, Abyssal scepter, hourglass, while AD carries need to go glass cannon in order to do heavy damage and carry the team).

2. Everybody knows that the expression "veigar one shoots enemy casters" is an exaggeration. If he doesn't land his full combo EWQR successfully his damage alone will not be enought to kill the full health enemy AP carry, unless he is very fed and the enemy severely underleved. If what i'm saying isn't true, nobody would care to build DFG on him. Also, tenacity itens allow you, when caught by his Evente Horizon, to dodge his Dark Matter on early and mid game, since it has a 1.2 sec delay to hit, and it makes a 2.5 sec stun lasts only 1,625 sec. About his AP farm, well, if you let Veigar sit on a lane easily farming, you deserve to be crushed like who gets crushed by letting Nasus farming freely. Besides, Nasus get 30 damage for each 10 minion farmed, while veigar get 6 AP on his Q (0.6 AP ratio), his only spammable skill, since his ult got 90 sec CD and his dark matter got 10 sec CD.
