Ezreal
Ezreal is a monster. He can deal a whole lot of damage and worse: he can teleport in and out of action. This is going to be a problem for you, so try to use your Q to poke him as much as you can, since you won't be able to rely on your E at all times.
Me, Myself and Veigar

Hello, you fabulous basterds! I'm IllyaB, an unranked brazilian summoner (because I didn't want to go ranked yet) and I brought you an interesting noob-friendly guide on a fake support Veigar assault build. I've been playing with lots of champions since my gf introduced me this game, with my favorites being





My record damage with this build was of 69389 of damage against other champions (yes, 64K of damage in a single match), while bordering whooping 1250 AP, with my ult (

>> You HIT a champion with your ability = +1 AP
>> You KILL a champion with your ability = +3 AP
Keep in mind that stacking AP is your main goal here, so farm shouldn't be focused unless you're in a urgent need of Gold to craft a core item. Basically this play style is simple, yet somewhat risky, because in order to cage an enemy and deal your damage, you'll have to get close and this is the fun. Since Veigar isn't by all means a tanker, you'll have to rely in your damage to harass and deal damage to your enemies. A well played Veigar can even hold or push a lane all by himself, although this is ill-advisable.







Henceforth, to play the Fake Support Assault Veigar role (I'll refer to this as FSAV from now) you'll have to follow these simple three steps.
>> Step 1 << Trap the enemy using your

>> Step 2 << Call in

>> Step 3 << Immediately after casting



>> Step 4 (only if the enemy is not killed or is below 33% HP and you really think it's necessary to take him out) << Wait until


Playing this role basically turns you into an AP carry and a force to reckon with. Depending on how good you're doing in the match, you'll probably be hunted down because of your one hit potential, so keep that in mind and use this into your advantage. Also make sure you have a good synergy with your ADC, since you'll be playing like a support at first. When you remove your mask and go full AP carry, try to advance with your team. League of Legends is not only about kills, but teamwork.

If Veigar is played like a damn fiddle (couldn't resist the joke :D ), this Tiny Master of Evil can be a relentless desintegrating machine. If well fed, Veigar can absolutely destroy AD and AP champions simply with his



Don't take unnecessary risks, always have your map awareness at full and you'll do well. AD Champions with a high damage output like




If you end up losing a team fight, use your


Keeping in mind that you're a papercraft assault cannon, here are the pros and cons of Veigar - The Tiny Master of Evil while playing FSAV:

PROS WHEN PLAYING FSAV >> Desintegrate opponents easily in mid game >> Faster AP stacking >> Awesome synergy with AD champions >> Good hunter (if well fed in mid-game) >> Amazing damage against turrets with basic attacks >> Single key farm in mid game (just bring ![]() |
CONS WHEN PLAYING FSAV
>> Dangerous game >> Lesser minion farm in early game >> Play mode may be frowned upon by teammates >> Exposed to ambushes by jungle while playing in front line |

Remember: you're playing an extremely high powered minion. No matter how much damage you cause, you can't afford to take much.

Let's take a graphical approach. It'll help in the explanation.
This guide is specifically for Summoner's Rift, but the tactics here can be applied to other maps, because the mechanics presented here are all the same. First of all, let's begin with the basics. I know most of you already got past the tutorials and have some basic knowledge about what is what, or where is where, but it won't hurt to refresh your memory a little bit.

This is Summoner's Rift, your well known arena, with tags for easy understanding of the surroundings. While playing this role in early game, positioning is essential in order to make sure you are an effective harasser and farm your AP well without getting too punished. Since FSAV is more focused in bot lane, I'll make this guide bot biased.
When you're in mid or late game, focus on moving together with your teammates and don't straggle, unless it's safe and necessary to do so.


As you can see in the image above, you should ward as much as you can in order to have eyes everyhwere and avoid getting flanked. Common routes enemy champions follow (mainly junglers) take are the River and the passage that comes from the Red. By approaching from these locations, your escape route is really narrowed, so you'll have to kiss the wall if you feel you'll be jumped at (


The front bush is a good area to attack from because you can push your enemies back while your ADC farms, but leaves you a bit exposed to the river flanking routes. Warding the top river bushes grant you plain sight of the dragon and alerts your team about possible incursions.
Be careful not to be way too exposed in the River, since escape routes are scarce and you won't have much room to maneuver. Besides in mid game, these routs may be booby-trapped by


>> Playing FSAV is tricky and you are required to muster the largest amount of AP as possible to aid in your stacking, so buy stacking items (i.e.

That's it! This was my first guide, so please, take it lightly folks. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing this guide. Thank you and go out there and do damage!
