625 is pretty good range (her q and w), huge was overselling it I agree. Veigar is not played that often (5.6% vs Annies 13.2%) I don't ever remember him being "flavour" though he was played in the LCS once or twice his play rate has always been well under Annie's. He can blow up other AP carries late game, which is his job, but he's really squishy, and is easily assassinated. Veigar's ult range is less than Annie's and his other 2 damage abilities are skillshots (his W in particular is very hard to land without first landing his stun)

QSS, Banshee's veil aren't really solutions to Annie unless you have godly reactions as she can flash and user her whole kit to kill you in 1 sec.
