Gameplay guide to Viego
Hi Everyone, I am a Master Tier Jungler and Competitive player. I have played league since season 3 and peaked rank 50 so far in S11. I enjoy playing Viego, Stream on Twitch, and Make Youtube Videos. I have loved Viego since release and believe that if you learn this champion he can be extremely effective at taking over games in all elos.
Viego is a strong jungler because he has one of the healthiest clears in the game and wants to abuse that to win a scuttle fight after clearing 5 camps to get level 4. Viego wants to path to his strongest lanes and fight with them. A standard clear will look like:
Blue Sentinel
>
Gromp
>
Wolves
>
Raptors
>
Red Brambleback
>
Scuttle
> Gank/Reset/
Krugs
Or
Red Brambleback
>
Raptors
>
Wolves
>
Blue Sentinel
>
Gromp
>
Scuttle
> Gank/Reset
In general, there is no one best way to build Viego; however, the
Goredrinker into
Sterak's Gage build ensures that he is able to survive long enough to get his ultimate off. Viego thrives in fights where he is able to get resets and abuse his passive.
If you are against a squishy team the best items are
Goredrinker or
Galeforce if you are really ballsy you can also go
Eclipse for the montage highlight plays. Just be careful because you will be significantly squishier.
If you are against a lot of tanks you can still go
Goredrinker but you can also consider
Kraken Slayer or
Trinity Force to help you deal with their high HP.
If you need help gap closing you can go
Stridebreaker. This can help you lockdown hard to hit champions like
Lillia or
Ezreal.
Now, how do we play Viego?
In the mid game Viego wants to play around his 1/2 item spikes with
Kraken Slayer
Blade of the Ruined King to find fights where someone dies quickly. Look around the map to find lanes where your team has advantages and force fights around them.
Viego wants to find fights where he can Burst an enemy by using
Kraken Slayer
Blade of the Ruined King and his passive on his Q to heal himself. Use
Harrowed Path on nearby terrain to gain movement speed and attack speed. Finally utilize
Viego's Passive to take over other champions. With most champions look to use one quick rotation of their spells and quickly use your free reset of
Heartbreaker.
Once you make it to late game
Viego performs very well in fights. By combining reset after reset on
Heartbreaker from
Viego's Passive he can take over a fight entirely. Try to let your team engage and play to cleanup the first kill and use
Heartbreaker resets to win the fights.

TL/DR: Take

Viego Lane
There are a number of ways to play Viego in lane, here is the quick guide for the three most prevalent ways.
TL/DR: Take
Conqueror
Triumph
Legend: Tenacity
Coup de Grace and
Taste of Blood
Ravenous Hunter with Attack Speed, AD, and Armor/MR
Build Options:
Bruiser (Most consistent):
Goredrinker
Plated Steelcaps OR
Mercury's Treads
Sterak's Gage
Blade of the Ruined King
Spirit Visage
Guardian Angel (Can go
Death's Dance if vs heavy AD).
Burst:
Galeforce
Berserker's Greaves
The Collector
Infinity Edge
Mortal Reminder (There is so much healing in the game its rare that this item isn't worth it)
Guardian Angel. Can replace
Mortal Reminder with
Ravenous Hydra or
Blade of the Ruined King
Consistent Damage:
Kraken Slayer
Berserker's Greaves
Blade of the Ruined King
Sterak's Gage
Wit's End
Guardian Angel.
Kraken Slayer works extremely well with the Passive of
Viego's Q to proc faster similar to
Lucian.
With builds you generally want to go
Goredrinker or
Galeforce if the enemy is easy to kill and go
Kraken Slayer if vs. a lot of tanks. You can also consider
Stridebreaker if the enemy is extremely hard to get on top of.

I have loved Viego since release and believe that if you learn this champion he can be extremely effective at taking over games in all elos. I made this laning guide by watching Vods of the best Viego players and talking to my high elo friends who play mid/top.
In general, Viego will always max Q first and then E second. This is because the CD reduction and attack speed increase from more points in E is well worth the trade off of less damage on W. The only time this will change is if you are on a heavy AD team and then enemy team is stacking armor. W max second is then justified because it does a decent amount of magic damage.
Early Laning:
Viego want's to abuse his Q's passive to sustain in early laning and take long trades against his opponent. Basically if
Viego is not bursted in a fight he can sustain back to full through using his abilities and auto attacking minions. Play lane to push advantages in extended fights but be aware that
Viego's strength comes from teamfights.
In teamfights make sure that you are participating in an early kill and ensuring you can use your passive Soverign's Domination to take an opponents soul. Once you have taken an enemy's soul you should be looking to get one rotation of their abilities off and then instantly use
Heartbreaker looking for resets and another enemy's soul.

Tips and Tricks
You can't use
Heartbreaker for 1.5 seconds after taking over someone else's soul
Viego Can use his Q to animation cancel his empowered auto attack which can do a surprising amount of burst damage quickly. Here is a video of this being done. Learning to do this is absolutely necessary to maximize burst damage and surprise your enemy.
If you take
Annie's Soul you get her stun stacked immediately
DO NOT TAKE
Sion's Soul, its a huge bait because it spawns you on top of his passive with no movement abilities for 1.5 seconds.
Sion's death passive does 10% max damage on each auto so he will kill you before you can use
Heartbreaker again.
DO NOT TAKE
Kled's soul as you spawn with extremely low HP.
Currently if
Viego take's
Ornn's Soul past level 14 he can upgrade his teammates items. Abuse this before it gets patched.
Keep track of your
Goredrinker's cooldown when you are possessing other champion's souls, once you're back to
Viego
Goredrinker can give you a surprising heal to keep going in fights.
