he doesn't like burst assassins and enemies with stealth like rengar, khazix, shaco. Yasou is a good counterpick but be careful not to dash into the edges of his nope circle. You will die.

He has decent range but can be outranged and this can prevent him from getting alot of stacks of evil, basically don't let him cs or trade, good picks for this are azir, velkoz, xerath. He also doesn't like mobility champs so if you can bait out his e, he probably can't fight you unless he's very fed since his 1 shot combo early requires w. Since he's not especially mobile and usually will go q first then w, then e or maybe q, camping him early can stop him from murdering everyone. Engage comps work well since he can 1 shot, 1 person reliably but then he has to wait for cooldowns and he's squishy. Blitzcrank/Thresh are also a good counter support for mid to lategame. Cait is a good adc pick if you don't like veigar lategame but in low elo high mobilty adcs won't work well so go with stationary adcs that can kill him from inside the e nope circle. It might help to practice with a friend avoiding the e, since it's a cruical part of veigars combo and has a fair amount of counterplay avaliable. Also remember you can flash to get out of the box.

My favourite counters/ least favourite matchups are: Yasou mid, Shaco/Rengy jungle, Blitz sup, Cait adc, Fizz top/mid. Banshees and Zhonias can be very effective when used well and maw works well early but can't save you lategame.
