Veigar has almost no way to punish your poke since Baleful Strike is short-range and Dark Matter is heavily telegraphed, so you should be freely trading Noxious Blast into him on every wave while denying his CS with Miasma zoning. He wants a passive lane where he just stacks AP safely, so keep applying pressure and never let him sit comfortably under turret.
