Why doesn't anyone play this in LCS
Putting the Video here to show what he can do... but seriously he is so strong why isn't he more meta. There has to be something I am missing.

reason: playing on 40-90 or so ms ping makes it harder to dodge veigars stun, on the LCS stage its alot easier because theres 2-5ms ping
plus he has no escapes, only his stun.
Veigar is a close range mage that is strong late game. LCS games don't last long enough for him to stack enough AP also, him needing to use his Q to farm puts him at a disadvantage in pro play. If you use your Q to farm and the enemy laner harrasses you, you won't have your Q to harrass back, meaning you'll los the trade. No mobility makes him an easy target. He offers only Damage, with his only utility being his E. Having a short range, he has to put himself at risk in order to use it effectively. Being squishy doesn't help.
If you Compare Annie to Veigar (2 burst mages), you'll see that, while Veigar has an easier time bursting someone down, annie offers way more utility (more versatile stun, Tibbers, ect)
