Because it doesn't instantly kill a selected champion. As mages you don't have scaling magic resistance. If you know that you are playing against Veigar you should manage the ability power you build or if it's ranked. Change the champion you are playing period (Ryze and Galio completely ruin Veigar's advantage in blowing up mages because Ryze scales from mana and Galio scales from magic resistance and has magic resistance scaling) Get the two magic resistance ability power items. Scepter and Athenes and you'll want lots of health too and Zhonya's hourglass and Banshiee's Veil hampers Veigar's extremely essential combo.

Don't get Rabadon's Deathcap. Get lots of magic pen instead. Veigar doesn't have scaling magic resistance either so you'll have a better chance of killing him if you build that making the damage you have more impactful without having a huge amount of raw power that he can exploit.

Runes in magic resistance help espescially scaling and not just for Veigar.

For the record, Marksmans also have no scaling magic resistance. Veigar rarely kills a tank or a bruiser with his combo and in fact is a waste of that sort of damage. Assassins have more than enough mobilty to make not getting stunned and rushing Veigar an easy option. Hexdrinker softens the blow alot and a well timed Zhonyas can again can kill any part of his kit.
