Zed is the worst champion you can face in a game as veigar, he can easily escape your stun and he will kill you a lot at early stages of the game.
Be notified that he can use his ultimate to dodge and disable your ultimate.
Try to use your E well by placing it like the edge of it is on you if zed ults you so at the moment he is out of his ult he will be stunned.
Katarina
Katarina can be a problem she can use shunpo to escape your stun and kill you before you can do something but if you can survive her ultimate with barrier/ seraph's embrace/ zhonya's you can use your W fast on her while she ult and kill her
Fizz
Fizz can escape your stun and damage you at the same time with his E ability and kill you faast at early stages of the game.
try to land a perfect stun on him and kill him before he can do anything
LeBlanc
LeBlanc dash doesn't make her immune to your stun so if you place it before she dashes she will be stunned at the end of the dash but her damage can be dangerous so stay back
Ahri
Ahri dashes can help her dodge your stun and W if you try to hit it without your stun so keep in mind that you shouldn't waste your W without the stun
Annie
Annie can one shot you if she got her stun and tibbers so make sure that you don't get hit by any ability while she got stun and try to keep distance to not get poked by her Q
Anivia
Anivia is not a problem for veigar but her passive can save her life because of the long cooldown on veigar abilities early on you can't kill anivia and her egg by yourself so try to first take down her passive and engage a second time after your stun is back up and her passive is down
Akali
Akali can kill you with her ultimate at level 6 in less than 5 seconds so make sure you stop her with your stun or get in turret range to stop her from bursting you down
Yasuo
Yasuo mobility with his dashes can be annoying landing your stun can be hard but you should remember that before you start to use your combo on him make sure his passive isn't up because it blocks quite a lot of damage from your abilities which makes your ult deal less damage because it is an execute
Ziggs
Ziggs early poke can be deadly try to dodge the bombs and hit poke yourself when you can
Talon
Talon can be a real problem he can jump on you and kill you with basic attacks while you can't do anything try not to let him jump on you stay out of its range and poke him slowly from a safe spot until he is low enough
Malzahar
Malzahar's suppresion with his ult can make you die without being able to do a thing so keep your distance and hit him with your stun from a far and then go in while he is stunned and can't do a thing
Xerath
Xerath pokes are really good and all of them got long range so wait until he use all of them especially his stun and then go in for the kill
Vel'Koz
Vel'koz can be an easy target to kill unless he hits his knockup on you in that case you are probably dead if he poked you a bit or he is a little fed
Orianna
Oriana long range abilities make her a tough laner but if you can get close and poke her from time to time when she gets to 75% of her hp go in and hit the stun and it's over
Heimerdinger
Heimerdinger is not a big threat, his turrets are free passive stacks which you can take down from out of their range and heimerdinger himself is easy to be dealt with
Karthus
karthus is the best champion you can wish for to be against you. It's easy to hit your stun on him from distance he got no mobility abilities so you can stun him and kill him fast while he can't do anything and you got barrier and seraph's embrace for his ultimate if he tries to kill you with it
Aurelion Sol
Aurelion sol can hit you with his stars while you try to combo him because the range of the stars while his W ability is active is the same range as your abilities
Lux
Lux can poke you down with her E ability and if she land her Q ability and she got ultimate you are probably dead so as long as you dodge the Q and her pokes you are fine
Brand
Brand poke at the early game can be lethal so as long as you can dodge his skill shots you are fine
Syndra
Syndra can be dealt with easily as long as you stay away from the direction of the balls that she can throw at you with her E to stun you and you poke her like she can and will poke you
Lissandra
Lissandra can get close to you with her E and deal high damage including stunning you so try to keep distance and if you can land your stun where she is about to get with her E so when she does it if she will she will get stunned
Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia can do a lot of damage with her poison and twin fang ability try to stay back and farm at early stages of the game
Azir
Azir sand soldiers can do a lot of damage and azir does it all from quite far so he will probably wont die from you unless you get help from your jungler (or he is a bad player)
Taliyah
Taliyah is not much of a problem but she can be by poking you down with her Q or going all in with the knock back into her E and doing some good damage to you
Diana
Diana ultimate, which she can use again if you got hit by her Q, which means that if you get hit by her Q, you are dead so all you need to do is dodge all of her Q abilities
Galio
Galio is an easy champion to deal with you just stay a bit back so he wont be in range for his ult you keep poking him with Q until he is low enough for you to go in
Ekko
Ekko got really high damage and gap closer and his ultimate can make him dodge your ultimate and by that taking away your chance of killing him against him you really need to stay back and to not get poked by his Q
Ryze
Ryze combo can deal surprising amount of damage and he can come behind you from a bush with his ultimate and use his combo. if you are in the lane with him, try to hide behind the minions from his Q and stay back to not get hitted by his W
Twisted Fate
Twisted fate at the early game wont be such a threat, mid game is the stage you should be afraid of him if you are not fed and at the late game he is not a problem hard to deal with
Swain
Swain regen with his ultimate at level 6 will be a big problem for veigar make sure he is low enough so he will die fast and wont have time to regen back his health
Kassadin
Kassadin ultimate which allow him to blink very often will give you hard time hitting the stun so try to hit the stun right after he ults so he wont be able to blink out as soon as he is trapped in or the stun on him is over
Vladimir
Vladimir is a big threat early in the game if you only got 1 point in your E he will probably use the blood pool before your W will hit him and dodge the damage so try to force him to use it before on something so you could hit your combo without him using the blood pool and escaping
Viktor
Viktor poke with his laser could get you low early on and his shield from Q could save him and cause you trouble so poke him out to quite low before you go in
Zoe
Zoe can be annoying in lane since she pokes harder than you early on and she can dodge your W and Q with her ult, but you can defeat her easily by taking advantage of the moment she uses her ult, place your E so the edge of it will be on the location she comes back to with her ult, so she gets stunned instantly then procceed to use your combo and probably do a lot of damage to her or even kill her.
Hi my name is idoc11, main veigar from eune, and I just wanted to share with you the build I came up with to veigar. It all started by that I wanted to see how full magic penetration veigar would work and it worked perfectly a lot better than all the morellonomicon and ludens builds so I stayed with this build for a while and I finally decided to share it with the LoL community.
I have calculated and a champion with 50 magic resist at level 18 for veigar will have 0 magic resist, an adc who won't buy magic resist will probably have less than 50 and anyone with less than 50 will have negative magic resist meaning they will take even more damage than what the ability damage is, this is why this build is so fun.
Runes
Runes
You take aery for the poke in lane, you can take either nullifying orb or manaflow band depends if the enemies have ap based team, transcendence for the extra cdr early and ap later, and scorch for lane poke.
secondary is resolve for being tanky as veigar got a lot of damage anyway because of his passive, bone plating helps a lot in lane vs pokers and conditioning makes you a lot more tanky since you are building resistances.
Items
Items
Getting the tear of the goddess to stack mana to be able to spam abilities and upgrade it to the archangel's staff for the ap and later for the shield from the seraph's embrace after that the abyssal mask is good for some magic resist and some more damage around you, which also helps your team, the sorcerer's shoes you should get in between its better if you would get it around the same time as the abyssal mask, but you should get the base boots a lot earlier. After that, the thornmail makes you a lot stronger since you get more hp and armor and the attackers take some damage back, but if you are in a condition vs no auto attackers and heavy ap based team, you can buy spirit visage instead. warmogs gives you a lot more hp and if you buy it as fifth item, you will have 3000 hp already and you will get the regen, so you become extremly tanky and you still got damage from passive ap. The rabadon's deathcap is a good item to complete the build, since by now, you stacked your passive nicely and the rabadons passive will take advantage of that and will make you do crazy damage while still being tanky from your other items. And the elexir of sorcery after you finished buying all the items.
If you face strong ap mid champion you should buy negatron cloak pretty early on it will give you 15% reduced magic damage.
Skill usage in 1v1 and team fights
Skill usage in 1v1 and team fights
When you ingage a 1v1 you should start with E if you hit it (you should) W then Q and after 0.5 seconds use ult as well. Don't use your ult as soon as you start the combo because you want your W to hit the target before your ult hits so your ult will deal more execute damage. In team fights use your E well, try to hit as many champions as you can or capture them inside your E. when you see a good chance after someone got stunned by your E or a few people together try to hit as many of them with your W followed by your Q and use your ultimate on a low hp target which is currently not dying to your team mates. If you already reached full build, if the target is squishy like adc or not a tank support or squishy mid laner your ult will kill them even if they are on 75% hp, and your W might even straight up kill them in one ability.
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Pros
-you one shot everyone not matter who it is and how tanky he is with your full build and an average amount of stacks.
-you got a good amound of armor and magic resist
-you wont have mana problems at all you wont even need blue buff Cons
-You are not getting 40% cdr as after the new veigar W buff for cd for more stacks, your W cd is already extremely low and veigar's abilities cd overall are pretty short.
Farming
Farming
When you farm try to get 2 minions next to each other and making both of them low on hp so your Q will hit both and kill both and get you 2 stacks.
On the range minions you can do a W and right after it hits Q so the minions will get low from W and the Q will finish them off giving you 2 stacks.
Try to farm from a far to not get poked by the enemy mid laner veigar got the range to stay at a safe place and farm stacks at the same time.
