There are a couple problems I run into when playing Veiger that prevents me from just maining this guy. First off, and this a simple to fix issue tbh, he needs farm. A lot of it, and not just for items. He's like Nasus in that to really get as much damage as you can out of him, you need to pretty much spend the first 20 or so minutes of the game farming with his Q like a mad man.

2nd problem is somewhat related to the first. Since he needs farm, he generally needs a solo lane. And Veiger is amazing squishy, so if you go against anyone else with a high burst combo, it's a nerve wrecking waiting game of who gets their stun off first. (Followed by the occasional moments of "oh crap I don't have enough MP for my ult =(" )

3rd, and probably the biggest hold up for me personally, is that to reach his full damage, there has to be another farmed and/or fed AP carry on the enemy team. Yes, Veigar CAN still do massive burst when targeting none AP champs, but it's just so satisfying to throw your ult onto that fed Brand, and watch his entire health bard flash red. If you end up against a Bruiser heavy team, Veigar's damage potential is severely lessened. Which makes on sad tiny master of evil.
