To address those three points:
 * 1) It is pretty much the penalty of all late game bloomers that they need to spend a good deal of the early game just trying to make their late game pop up. Since Veigar has no cap on his power if he came out the game able to do that he'd be grossly OP.
 * 2) I like solo mid although I spend most of it tower hugging, or just running up to hit Q and running back. I personally get boots of Mobility as soon as possible so that I can run fast Q run back fast. If someone is trying to zone me out of the lane, I will just use my Q on them. (and run back) since with his passive you can use your Q everytime it is on cooldown, you might as well, whether it is a champ or a minion, although I prioritize minions over champs. I do take a certain satisfaction in farming my Q amidst someone trying to harass me. They attack me, I Q a minion, They try at me, another minion. I enjoy the little dance until around level 4 when it is stun, W, Q. . half health gone. Ussually you can get a little space at that point and start farming Q again.
 * 3) I think this is more of a mental block than anything. His ult does substantial damage without needing an AP carry to hit. 1.2 AP + 500 magic damage is one of the biggest nukes in the game without using 80% of your target's ap. 80% is just icing on the cake to take out those AP carries. (Much more defensive as those AP carries will probably melt poor little veigar before he can do much.) Also most other AP carries start eating kills sooner than Veigar so that 80% helps even up Veigar's slow start.
