Veigar isnt OP hes just an Anti-Mage just like Kassadin. His job is to cross out one of the main damage threats right before a fight starts or to show up in the middle of the fight where no one notices him and kill someone instantly.

I used to play him tons as he is insanely fun and I can tell you yes his damage is stupid but he is fairly simple to lane agaisnt but a good one wont let you trade with him without taking half your hp as a response.
