Used to be way worse with prenerf shieldbow and wits end. As long as you open on him you should always win. IF he catches you offguard you are probably going to die unless you land everfrost+ quick full combo.
Anivia
Laning phase is not playable. Neither is mid or lategame. You are completely outranged at all times. Consider dodging if you dont have a jungler or top that counters the anivia pick.
Annie
You outscale her the second your conditioning procs. Should a be a free lane, watch out for her flash r ignite combo if you dont have any mr yet.
Akali
Anathemas on akali is insanely good. You should have a free laning phase but if she catches you in melee without ur cage you are most likely dead.
Ezreal
A fed ezreal coming from botlane effectively works like scissors work against paper. He jumps out of your cage + he outranges you. Only saving grace is that hes build path doesnt allow for heavy mr builds = q+r him late game and his dead. (A fed Ezreal is a 5 while a starved Ezreal is a 1 funny enough)
Kassadin
After the kassadin % magic on his passive nerf, the matchup is slightly more playable. You have a free lane untill 6, where he starts to outscale you. Good placement of everfrost and cage is the only way you get to full combo him, SO BE PATIENT. Its very easy to loose your cool when he is voidwalking towards you, but all you need is a cc effect to one-shot him. Anathemas on kassadin is usually alot of value.
Aurelion Sol
No real threat in lane, but he effectively outroams you and outpushes you aswell. Make use of your pings and try to keep up with the pace. Hit hitbox is insane so he keeps getting stuck in your wall later on.
Azir
Outpokes you and keeps you under turret perma. Once laning phase is over though he will have trouble entering teamfights because of your cage.
Cassiopeia
A good cassio can cut you off from csing in early stages of the game. One wrong step and you are dead. Positiong is key, once laning phase is over however- she is at your mercy.
Karthus
Immobile+squishy+no cc= Free kills
Katarina
Very volatile matchup. Laning phase should be even if you know what you are doing. However you cant follow her roams or ever step into fog of war. If she gets a kill on a roam, your laning phase is now unplayable. YAHOOOO
Consider early game runes with full dmg (electro into inspiration splash) + ignite
LeBlanc
Wait for conditioning proc and shes outscaled. Just dont die and she will be useless later on. Dont follow her roams in fog of war or you are most likely dead, gently inform your team that you will be stuck mid early and that they respect lb roams.
Sylas
One of the easiest matchups to kill during laning phase. ignite is a must. That being said, if you position poorly and get chained far away from you turret- guess what you are now dead! :D
Fizz
Basically same as Leblanc. Survive early and outscale him. Try and bait him to ult in mid and then walk sideways to juke. Once his ult is down he has no real kill pressure in lane and matchups becomes ALOT easier.
Yone
Skill matchup. He scales harder than you though. You can snowball kills on him pre shieldbow but when he gets it you have to respect him. IGNITE is a must.
Yasuo
Harder version of yone. Laning phase is usually unplayable, but once you get out if, Yasou tends to stick to your cage like a fly to a spiders net. Keep procing his passive with your auto attacks.
Orianna
Outranges you during laning phase. A good orianna will never let you touch her while she pokes you down. Atleast you scale better than her.
Seraphine
Sera mid= free lane = free stacking = free roaming = free win
Twisted Fate
Hard outscale him, you can kill him in lane when you are 6 if he doesnt go mercs. Ping his ult for your teammates.
Vel'Koz
aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh fuck this guy fuck this guy fuck this guy fuck this guy fuck this guy
Xerath
Slightly easier version of Vel'koz. Saving grace in these matchups is that both velkoz and xerath are both very easily dealt with if your team has an assasin.
Irelia
WHY DID THEY CHANGE HER W TO BLOCK MAGIC DMG WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Malzahar
You both just push into each other, really boring lane. You scale equally hard and should be equally useful late-
Syndra
A good syndra with proper pacing makes laning phase unplayable. Atleast she is easy to gank and falls of after laning phase.
Qiyana
since qiyana players usually have such a big skill gap between themselves i just like to say that a bad qiyana is 1 and a GOOD qiyana is a 5. Champions is busted if you have god given hands for Olympus tier mechanix.
Ryze
So easy to gank and catch. Hes slighlty stronger in lane than you so you cant fistfight him. Just free farm and look to counter his roams.
Lux
Syndra but with longer range and lower damage.
Ekko
You need everfrost ASAP or its not playable. Once you get it, you just let him jump on you, everfrost him and full combo = dead
Zed
a big NOPE. Anathemas helps alot here. Everfrost works wonders aswell. He usually ends up behind you after his r. I like to put up cage when he presses R and then run straight into the right or left side of it. works 7 out of 10 times!
Zoe
Watch for her crazy early game. You hard outscale her. If you see her picking up op items/summoners in lane just back the frickkkk off. You cant match it.
Corki
You have kill pressure with ignite+ electro. Or you pick predator and answer his roams instead.
Rumble
this guy goes boom everytime u have your ult up. just done die to him early kekw
Bard
After his ults you can get a free cage that allows you to cc chain most of the people in the bard ult. One of the most broken combos in the game if done right.
Blitzcrank
If he lands a hook you get to chain everfrost+ur combo for free.
Zilean
Giving veigar one of his strongest stats, namely: Movement speed. He lets you catch people offguard with cage and if you position badly he provides you with one get out of jail free card.
Jarvan IV
Jungle jarvan usually can hold his own early game which allows for your scaling + you get free W's when he ults people.
Yuumi
Broken with the tank version of this build for obvious reasons. Move speed + heals + adaptive force bonus + cc setup: YES PLEASE
Soraka
Slightly worse version of Yuumi
Thresh
If your brains were interlinked this combo would be a 5. This is not the case in soloq. The wonky nature of tresh flay and hooks make for a unreliable way of setting up your W. More often then not i find my thresh players flaying out enemies from my W. Lantern and his R is still very usefull for veigar but doenst make up for the other anti-synergy in his kit.
Morgana
Her q allows for full setup combo if it hits and her E lets you escape CC that would outposition you. She and veigar on the same team will probably lead to mercs for most enemies, which is why shes a 4 and not a 5.
Camille
If you ever have a camille top, you can go perma roam for her. Her hookshot + R paired with your cage makes sure enemies will stay stuck for a VERY long time
