So I'm not one for complaining champions are op, but the other day Veigar's literally one shot our adc. I wouldn't really have an issue if it wasn't a point and click.

Has anyone else had similar issues or was it just a veigar was fed incident?

That's late game Veigar for you. Not even "Veigar was fed", but rather "Veigar farmed up for long enough that his Phenomenal Evil stacks got so high that he had sufficient AP to one shot your ADC". There is no limit to his passive -- at 100 minutes into the game, he's got over 400 stacks of his passive. That's an ADDITIONAL 400 AP on top of his items that then gets multiplied by Rabadon's Deathcap. Imagine that an Annie or a Ziggs or a Lux had a full six item build and then four Morellonomicons on top of their regular six item build. That's what Veigar is like. The best counter to him is to win early before he can reach that point.

Manage to cc him, then blow him up. Otherwise end the game before like 30 mins. I highly doubt in a game that isn't 60+ minutes long veigar can't ult and kill an adc though. His ult doesn't have much range btw.

First of all, even if Veigar had 1000 AP, his ultimate alone cannot one-shot any full-health target, no matter how squishy they are. The damage it'd do to a full health target at max rank (before calculating MR/MR pen) is 325+75% AP, which results in 1075 damage. No one has that little maximum health at lategame.

Second of all, ADCs are one of the squishiest champions in the game. Veigar is a burst mage. He's also a late-game scaling hypercarry. Put the two together, and it's usually bad for the former's healthbar.
