Veigar attack speed is so slow it hurts

I was playing Veigar for a long time, and farming was super super painful. I don't mean I played him a few times, I mean that I mained him a few months. It really sucked until one day I changed the rune to make his attack speed on his auto a bit faster. It was a game changer. I honestly think this is a problem because Veigar basically always needs that rune to be attack speed, and anything else is kneecapping you if you don't. I think this kind of flies in the face of what runes are, optional selections since there is ultimately one good choice and the rest are mistakes. Furthermore I think even with the auto buff he is too slow on autos to make much sense for a champion that will never build attack speed but needs it for farming/procs etc. I would like to see a list of all the champion attack speeds but either way that's my two cents.

Veigar doesnt need to become more oppressive in lane given how strong he is late.

I know what you mean that the attack speed rune feels good but it really has zero impact outside of the very early game and autoattacking towers. CDR rune is much better imo because with transcendence and cosmic insighr you can go hextech glp striaght into deathcap and still get 40 cdr

Imagine having a better auto than illaoi (definitive worst auto animation in the game, longest animation time and time you have to let it go to not cancel it with another input, at least it does decent damage), aatrox (passive auto is pure and utter garbage fire that screws up combos), maokai (trying to cs with passive up outside of tower is committing to getting all inned this auto takes so long to go off lol), and anivia (just pitiful base ad) and complaining about it lol. I'm not disagreeing with you, veigar auto definitely sucks early, but this game has worse

have you ever even played Leblanc? Not just her auto sucks but she also can't wave clear at all unless you invest in leveling up her lowest damage skill.
