Introduction
Hello everyone and welcome to "My Veigar's Build" guide. I am EUNE League of Legends player and my name in game is Hektor Ulmer (not my real life name, it's just what I added). My rank in other account was Diamond III, but I don't remember my old account name because I took a break from the game for a several years but I really don't mind that and now I created new account to play for fun, nothing else.

Electrocute or Predator on Veigar?

So people are started to thinking which rune is best in Season 12 on











ELECTROCUTE
|
PASSIVE: Damaging basic attacks, abilities, item effects, and summoner spells, as well as the application of crowd control and damage over time effects, generate stacks against enemy champions, up to one per attack or cast per champion. Applying 3 stacks to a target within a 3 second period causes them to be struck by lightning after a 0.25-second delay, dealing them 30 − 180 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) (+ 25% AP) Adaptive damage. Cooldown: 25 − 20 (based on level) seconds |
PREDATOR
|
PASSIVE: Boots gain the active effect PREDATOR. ACTIVE - PREDATOR: After a 0.25-second cast time, gain bonus movement speed for 10 seconds, ramping up to 45% over 1.5 seconds, while moving toward enemy champions within 3000 units. After ramping up, your next damaging basic attack or ability against an enemy champion deals 40 − 120 (based on level) (+ 20% bonus AD) (+ 10% AP) bonus Adaptive damage after a 0.25-second delay and ends the effect. Cooldown: 90 − 60 (based on level) seconds Range: 3000 |
As you can see, these 2 Rune Keystones are different.




So which Rune Keystone is better? Both of these Rune Keystones are very good on











What I choose? I choose






Abilities




Skill Sequence
Always put point at lvl 1







Items
Starting Items:
DORAN'S RING A standard item for any the mages. It gives you Ability Power, Health and a passive that restores mana when you damage an enemy champion. Take this against easier and safe matchups. |
CORRUPTING POTION Another good start that gives a lot of sustain. Since ![]() |
TEAR OF THE GODDESS Some people are buying this because they usually find out mana problem early or if they wanna spam a lot of abilities. This is good start especially if yu are playing against manaless champions such as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
STEALTH WARD You must ALWAYS start with ![]() ![]() ![]() |
First Recall:
LOST CHAPTER You must get this item as soon as possible. This is very important item for every mages to upgrade into mythic item of their choices. |
SEEKER'S ARMGUARD If you are facing against AD assassins especially against harder matchups, then get it to survive their burst. Without that, you will be easily killed and they will start to snowball. |
VERDANT BARRIER If you are facing against AP burst, then this item will help you to survive. Later upgrade it into ![]() |
CONTROL WARD Buy this often when you are going to recall. It will help you to reveal location and invisible wards so you can clean them. This also reveals invisible champions such as ![]() |
Mythic Items:
EVERFROST This is probably the best mythic item for ![]() |
CROWN OF THE SHATTERED QUEEN Another very good mythic item on ![]() |
LUDEN'S TEMPEST If you are playing against a squishy enemy team, then this item is good to go because of the flat magic penetration passive. Most of the ![]() |
Boots:
SORCERER'S SHOES My standard boots for almost every game. It gives you flat magic penetration which is good for early and mid game. |
IONIAN BOOTS OF LUCIDITY Very good for CDR. With these boots and summoner CDR, you will be able to spam abilities a lot. |
MERCURY'S TREADS If the enemy team has a lot of CC or that deals o lot of magic damage, then these boots are must to buy. |
Core Items:
RABADON'S DEATHCAP Probably the most important and ultimate scaling late game item that every mage buys. The passive gives you a massive increase of Ability Power. |
VOID STAFF Another important item for mages especially if the enemy team are building magic resistence. Pretty cheaper than ![]() |
ZHONYA'S HOURGLASS Very good item especailly if you are facing against AD assassin or full AD team. This item will save you a lot especially against some ults such as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Situational Items:
BANSHEE'S VEIL This item grants you a spell shield that blocks champions ability and it's very good against heavy AP team or against burst mages such as ![]() ![]() |
MORELLONOMICON This item is good if their enemy has a lot of team or if you are facing against healing champions such as ![]() ![]() |
COSMIC DRIVE Another very good item on ![]() ![]() |
SERAPH'S EMBRACE A late game upgraded item from ![]() ![]() |
RYLAI'S CRYSTAL SCEPTER Since ![]() |
SHADOWFLAME I would only take if the enemy team has a lot of shields from their abilities or if they are squishy and has no tanks. It's no really advice to buy it as ![]() |
Elixir:
ELIXIR OF SORCERY If your build is full, then always buy ![]() |
Early Game
Early game, you should focus on farming with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you have at least ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Mid Game
If you have at least 150 stacks from your passive, then you are good to go. However, that still doesn't mean you can win this game in you think you are strong. Enemy champions can still quickly kill you fast enough if you are not careful. You should still focus on farming with ![]() ![]() Be sure to stick with your teammates and not go first. It really depends when and how you will place your ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Late Game
Now this is where really depends how ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Use your ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

How to farm and freeze
Farming
Farming is the most important thing in the game. You have to make sure to always last hit minions when they are close to death. Simply use your basic attack to last hit minions. When under your turret, make sure to wait for your turret to hit them before last hitting them. Use your




What does freezing mean?
Freezing is a technique that lets you deny your opponent exp and cs. Freezing a lane means that you kite/tank the minions without letting your tower hit the creeps. Always make sure that enemy minions beats yours. If you are keep doing this, you are completely safe from ganks while your opponent will be afraid of ganks and will eventually lost a lot of exp and cs.
Do not freeze against harder matchups unless if you are very far ahead. If you want to freeze, make sure the enemy pushed you under the tower. In this way, enemy will be vulnerable to ganks. Freezing will force the enemy laner to overextend for farm and will keep you safe since you will be close to the turret. The downside is that you won't be applying any pressure, leaving your opponent free to roam. If you are very far ahead and you are freezing by not pushing, enemy will be in your kill range and he will loss a lot of exp and cs leaving him behind. This is a great way to snowball to lead unless if you have other objectives such as dragons, towers etc.
Warding
Warding in League of Legends is incredibly important for every role and every game you play. It is a necessity for everyone to know when to ward, where to ward and how to become better at warding.
Without adequate vision control, you will find it difficult to survive the early game, win the mid game and close out the late game. When you understand the fundamentals of warding and how you can use it to your advantage it can really help you win more.
Every player has to start (unless if they play as a jungler) with



Yellow circles are marked as a

Red circles are marked as a

Numbers: I will explain each of their placement
Now you will see these marks what I have made of [[this is my map that I created. Yea I know, it kinda sucks XD):

I will explain each of these numbers:
1. This is the most common placed wards with


2. This is the place between red buff, monsters and near river. It's quite good to place with


3. In the small bush near dragon or at baron. You can either place



4. Beetwen rocks, putting there is another good spot as some players can jump over it or they come really fast like


5. In the bushes near the red buff. This is the best to place with

6. Some players are asking why place

7. Near monster where you can look at it when the enemy player is clearing it.
8. Near red buff where you can see when the enemy is taking it or if your jungler can come to invade and tries to steal it or even kill their enemy jungler.
This is probably the best places you can put your wards. The more you will put the wards, the more vision score you will gain. After you have finished your lane, you can keep your




Roaming
Roaming is very impactful for a mid laner because it is the center lane on the map. You are always a threat to help out top or bot lane. Mid laners are also usually the closest to their jungler, and as such can make plays on the map together.
It is important to first tend to your minion wave before you roam. Ideally, you will get the minion wave pushed into the enemy turret and then look to roam. You can still roam if you clear the minion wave after the enemy mid clears theirs, but you will have lost tempo on your map movement.
You also need to be aware of the situation on the map you are moving toward. Your allies should have enough health and mana to support you in your gank. It is also helpful if your allies can communicate to you what summoner spells the enemies still have available.
You must be sure that you have a safe path to the lane you want to roam on. The enemy jungler can block your path if you do not have sufficient wards or information on the junglers whereabouts.
Every champion in Mid lane can roam even those who is immobile. As a




White Lines: This is the simple way to roam. Going on the river and roaming either on Bot or Top way is the fastest way to roam.
Blue Lines: If you are on the blue side, there are some ways to roam. If you are planning to roam on Bot lane, you can do it by going on river, then heading near Blue buff on the red side and then going into bushes. Once you reach there and if the enemy Bot lane is near their tower, you can come to help your Bot lane to get the kills. If you are going on Top lane, first go to riven then go between the baron and Red buff on the red side and then go in the bushes. Be prepared if the enemy doesn't know you are there so you can help your Top laner to get the kill.
Red Lines: If you are on the red side, if you are going to roam on Bot lane, you can go between Red buff on the blue side and dragon and once you reach in the bushes, be quick to get there or else the enemy will retreat near the tower. Or if they are near their tower and they are low, you can try to get the kills. If going on Top lane, first go to the river and then go left where is there near blue buff on the blue side and then head to the bushes. Once you have reached there, if the enemy is completely low, help your Top laner to kill the enemy.
Playing from behind
So everybody is asking what to do when your enemy is ahead and you are behind. Well, if you are behind, don't worry about it, the game isn't just over yet and it isn't so early to surrender. Keep your mental up. Playing from behind is something you got to learn. This extends to both in lane and out of lane gameplay. If your team is ahead and you're behind, then there is a high chance to win the game. For example, if Bot lane is very ahead and they have destroyed their enemy tower, they will likely to be fed and the enemy team will try hard to destroy them so just pray if they are good players. If you and all your team is behind, then there is a very little chance to comeback as it will be very hard to stop them unless if the enemy is completely throwing the game.
Your general focus should be on farming and avoiding fights. Also avoid roaming and utilize lane wards so you can warn your team when your opponent goes somewhere. Do not follow their roams. Even if you do get there in time, your impact will be severely limited due to being behind. Also, build defensive items to survive if you are behind. This will help you to prevent them to busrt you down quickly. It will not work every single game but at least it will give you a bit advantage.

Synergies
There are a lot of champions that works really well with

Almost every champion works perfect with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Her ultimate can stun an enemy champions and you can easily use your ![]() |
He pulls the enemy champion, you finish him off easily. Nice. |
He works really well with ![]() ![]() |
Another great jungler. He can catch enemy champions with his ultimate and ![]() ![]() |
Very tanky support with so much CC. They work together really well. |
With his ultimate knock up, you can easily stun them with ![]() |
Ultimate stack brothers! :D |
Like ![]() |
Very tanky late game champions with a lot of CC. Also his passive can upgrade your mythic item which is splendid. |
Very tanky jungler with a lot of CC. Very great in teamfights. |
Tanky in late game and if he manages to his enemies with his Q or ultimate, you can easily destroy them. |
Probably the best support to have with ![]() |
Tanky jungler with a lot of CC. |
You died? He will give you a second chance to live and destroy the enemy team. |
What to ban?
There are many OP or should I say: Broken champions that many players found them frustrating to beat them or they don't wanna face them in general. I am going to show you what recommended champions you should ban if you are playing going to play

So this fish gives you a lot of trouble as ![]() |
So broken that any immobile mages can't do almost nothing against her. Players are still waiting for her nerfs but Riot doesn't really care about. She also deserves to be banned just like any other broken champions. |
You don't like this anti AP champion that counters a lot of mages, then this guy is also good ban. He scales like a monster in late game and can almost delete squishy champions and can escape easily with his ultimate. This champion is so easy to carry the game. Highly recommended to ban ![]() ![]() |
High mobility. manaless, easiest pentakill champion. Feel free to ban her. |
You don't like her burst damage, you don't like her jukes, you don't like her low cooldown abilites, you can't catch her and you don't like to be bullied in the lane, then ban her if you wanna some easier champions to play against. |
High burst damage, mobility, invisibility. Can delete squishies if played correctly. This is another good ban, she is really broken champion. |
This champion will defenitely get you mad when you will play against him especially if you are playing as ![]() ![]() |
Very unbalanced and very broken champion once he gets few items as he can almost any champions 1 vs 1 or even 1 vs 3. Like ![]() |
One of the most banned champion in the game. He can counter almost any champions in mid lane if he plays correctly and has very good roams. Despite being nerfed in many patches, the players are still banning him. The good things thought he doesn't scale well in late game because players will buy defensive items to counter him and he only builds damage items which makes him squishy champion. This is my recommended ban (just with ![]() |
Conclusion
And that's it. That's the end of the my guide. I hope this guide will help you a lot and make your game much better with
