He is going to be harder to play but power wise he is going to be better when you get used to it.

The q change makes it so that you can potentially get 2 ap per cast by just weakening 2 minions and firing a quick though both (which kinda makes up for the ult nerfs as he will in theory be getting a lot more ap than he was before and it still has the 80% of targets ap scaling so it will still let you burst the enemy mid laner just as fast.

The E nerfs are quite big (but still deserved considering how long the stun and how little people can do if you are good at landing it) but it won't be impossible to land (cho'gath's Q has a longer delay and smaller radius but it isn't difficult to land if you practice so it's probably going to be the same with veigar). I'm going to guess that the best way to use it will be to either put it down so that they are in the middle of the area so that they get trapped by it (either with the stun or being caught in the middle) unless they have a dash/flash/God like reactions or you can buy a rylise and use your Q to slow them down (or use pretty much any cc in the game) long enough to land a stun.

So tl;dr not a horrible nerf but veigar is going to need a lot more skill to play effectively.
