Why does Aurelion Sol not have taunts and interactions with Veigar?

Veigar is a Cosmic Mage and has the most space themed abilities in the game yet a COSMIC DRAGON WHO MAKES STARS has nothing to say to a guy who TRAPS PEOPLE IN A BLACK HOLE CAGE or BLASTS THEM WITH A GALAXY

okay Rammus

The thing is that Veigars magic doesn't really look that cosmic,it is easily possible that veigar(or rather the rioters who designed him) just named his abilities after cosmic stuff simply because it sounds cool.

Also if anything veigars space magic centers around the 3-dimensional space,not the outer space,so its something entirely different.

Same for Xerath. He taunted all of ascendeds expect Xerath. I really waited for something that teases about Shurima update.

Both would make much more sense than Miss Fortune, Graves, Caitlyn.

Well, his lore is quite old, perhaps Riot will want to take him in a different direction.

...Though I fear that they may either make him into either a complete joke or a serious grimdark edgelord. What I like about Veigar is the fact that he's hopelessly incompetent at being evil while at the same time being one of the most powerful beings in the world.

Ive always thought Veigar used gravity magic, he is heavily themed after FF characters after all

Theory time: Aurelion sol fears veigar, thats why he doesnt taunt him, he doesnt even want to acknowledge a being possibly greater then he is

As for xerath... uh riot forgot?

Tbh I expected aurelion sol to have a short joke for our tiny master of evil

Why would he? Veigar is insignificant compared to Aurelion Sol. It is much stranger that he says nothing to Xerath.

I think riot want to rewrite yordles lore, if i remember correctly Aurelion Sol don't taunt any other yordles (we are not sure about what is amumu ) and Illaoi refer then as spirit, tahm kench is enemy with all yordles expect veigar. I really like veigar and i hope his lore can be updated.

It's because Aurelion won't stoop to that level.

So, I am pretty sure the reason why neither Xerath nor Veigar got taunted was because the lines weren't good enough. Our previous champion, Jhin, had a few lines crafted against Vi, but they were scrapped because it wasn't "good" enough.

They have a bar and quality filter to go through for voice lines. If the joke or taunt isn't good enough, it's trashed. That is most likely what happened to Xerath and Veigar. Whatever references there were weren't good enough.
