Trick question. He is a hyper-scaling, free chalice, point and click burst champ. Shoving the lane doesn't work, because his 'w' clears the lane almost instantly. Extremely safe at every point in the game (stun). Great objective control (huge stun box acts as impassable terrain, making in impossible to contest objectives). Nope, I got nothing. Veigar has literally EVERYTHING.
Lord Dusteon4 votesHis extremely short range, complete reliance on the stun (unless he's fed enough that a dfg RQ or just RQ one shots), an extremely telegraphed W that requires his stun to hit, and his extreme mana problems (that passive is almost completely useless most of the time). Unless he's leveling up W first he won't have good waveclear, and if he is, his stun and Q will both be weak, meaning he'll be easily dived and murdered (a level 1 stun can be walked out of before his W lands). Late game he can usually kill one person before dying (and if that person has a banshee's veil, zero people killed by him), and his only utility is his box (which you'll be lucky to hit more than 2 people with ever).

...okay? I don't play veigar often; he's completely destroyed by any mobility or range. But I HAVE played him, and as such have figured out some of his main weaknesses. If you really think he's OP, play him for free elo. Either you're on to something and get to Challenger, or you figure out how to actually play vs him.
Eli Big Gay1 votesI think the dude's just salty because he lost to a Veigar in a game. Happens.
jv21blU7oD4 voteseverything he does is at a close range, if you play an assassin and just wait for him to use his stun+whatever other skill on something else you can blow him up instantly for example
both qss and banshee shits on him
Bismuthinite3 votesOh, so that's why he had a 100% pick/ban rate at worlds!!
Kuroi862 votesBecause junglers never gank mid ever.
Not to mention he starts with his Q having already stacked over one hundred AP on him.
He starts with his stun maxed so he can land his big damage.
He starts with his ult.
Yeah, he's got it all. /sarcasm
TeemoJenkins1 votesHe has slow movement speed and if they juke his stun he's going to get caught or flash burned. Also like Nasus if he's farm starved he's pretty neutered.
yellowbricks1 votesHis weakness is you have to listen to his annoying nails on chalkboard ass voice.
They should accentuate this weakness by forcing voice volume to 150% when playing him, as it is his only weakness.
Cloud2731 votesBoots of mobility fix all of these problems. If he's smart, he gets them. Then it's point and click CC and burst.
Cale0171 votesHe has zero mobility options, one single AoE spell that honestly doesn't have the best area of effect and can miss pretty easily, absolutely awful range on his Q and his ult, his only utility comes with his stun, which has a significant cooldown even at max rank. If he's ahead he's hard to stop. If he's behind he's hard to catch up.

He's ALWAYS ahead because it's impossible to deny him
Cale0172 votesHe's ALWAYS ahead because it's impossible to deny him
Anyone who outranges him can deny him easily. Brand comes to mind almost immediately, able to use his W to easily punish Veigar anytime he tries to move in for some CS, and the burn will quickly bully him out of lane by reducing his health even more. Veigar caves when you apply early pressure.
Saevum1 votesNope, I got nothing. Veigar has literally EVERYTHING.
You could try to Stashu him.
yellowbricks2 votesYou could try to Stashu him.
I'm so glad this is becoming a term. Never forget the Cassiopeia atrocity.
Saevum1 votesWill never do. Will never do...
Truly Prideful1 votesI love Veigar, but he has a lot of flaws. Short range when compared to popular mids, is very slow, even with his passive his mana pool is garbage, bad waveclear because maxing W first will hurt your kill potential, he's extremely predictable, and there is probably a lot more. He can snowball really hard if he gets going, but getting going is the hard part against anyone worth a damn.
theragingnerd1 votesno mobilty squishy cds and HE LITERALY ISN'T A PROBLEM
Str8Ace1801 voteshis weakness is going vs him as an AD champ, his ult only scales harder when he's facing AP champs so someone like 
or 
should do fine as long as you know how to play it and engage on him when he's on his cool downs
Hex the FenFen1 votesIt is not really a free chalice, his passive only increases his mana regen itself it is not pure mana regen
Raptamei1 votesGet some MR so you don't die when he combos you. Then shoot back and he dies. GG.
360D3GR3SS1 votesHe is weak against everything and situationaly very strong. Pretty much any AD mids win against him and any semi mobile mid lane champions. You juke/dodge his stun and you win, simple as that.
