Depends really.
He's like Kass combined with Nasus IMO.

Strong niche pick with a specific role. Weak early game but strong late game.
Kills other casters without blinking mostly just by using his ult and having a 1:1 ratio on an already high damage skill isn't bad either.

Depends on your skillcap with Veigar. In ranked, you NEED to land your jail on the enemy AT LEAST 90% of the time, or else you'll have a hard time.

DO NOT pick Veigar if you are mid, and the enemy has a Kassadin. Kass is by far Veigar's worst ap champ to be agaisnt

+rep me and you'll get good karma, wich means you won't be reincarnated into a rock! Isn't that awesome?

But yes this idea has been discussed more than Pam Anderson's tits in a plastic surgeons office.

Hes viable , just don't get frustrated if early on hes not blowing the enemy team away.

But with his great CC ability end game hes a monster.

Veigar certainly has design problems. He isn't designed to compete well with traditional AP carries in the current meta game (by that I mean most other AP carries can fill his role better).

However, he does do something the best, and for that he has a niche role. He is a godlike burst champion.

Most of the problem, however, is he has a massive skillcap, and combined with design flaws, he's hardly played. If you play veigar to the fullest I would consider him viable, but that's very difficult and hardly ever happens.

He sucks. Might work in low elo, but at higher level play your opposing laner will recognize how **** veigar is and just stomp him early game. Sure, he has burst to kill a squishy caster. So does malz, annie, cassio, gragas, xerath, etc etc... People who say "BUT HE OWNS CASTERS" don't realize how many casters are capable of nuking other casters. He's like 75% of other casters late game and the worst caster early game. The only unique thing he has is a really strong stun, but other than that he's just outdone by other casters.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

Veigar is an awesome champion, that requires a high skillcap. If you,re not a noob with him, you won't suck even at high ELO. To date, the only champion that were able to beat my veigar mid were Kassadin. No one other than him bested me. Veigar is hard to master, but when you do, he kicks ***.

As I said above, the ONLY champion that can stop me from farming is Kassadin. Not even LeBlanc can. But that is because I probably have around 250 game played with Veigar, resulting in me being experienced with him. I know exactly what to do, when to do it, how to do it and how to react if it fails.
