Beside this, is Veigar support viable?
Veigar is definitely a semi-viable off-meta support. It's somewhat similar to Brand, with weaker laning for better zone control and scaling. The cage is such a unique ability that warps gameplay that it alone is enough to make Veigar a useful support.
One may also ask, how good is Veigar? Veigar is probably THE champion with the highest damage potential in the whole game, but being extremely squishy and having no escape methods hurts him a LOT. Though, with the new items, maybe he has a better chance at surviving.
Likewise, how do you beat Veigar support?
Most Veigar supports don't max cage, so just kill him pre 6. Alistar is one of the best choices to completely rekt him actually. Once you bait out his cage you win, simple as that. If you give Veigar time, gold and stacks, you're dealing with another carry later in the game.
