Tips Against Viego in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
LambWolf says “Viego really ain't threat to Kindred. You can kite him quite easily and he has hard time hitting the stun on you. Viegos usually go full damage so you can oneshot him with your crit build.”
metalhydra273 says “VIego will get mauled if you ult him, but he's a duelist by heart and can really dish out some damage if you find yourself alone with him. Play around your cc and don't let him burst you down with his dps. Running him down shouldn't be difficult, so pick fights carefully and he shouldn't be too big of an issue. Fun fact, if Viego builds qss and takes a form of a teammate who doesn't have it, he can't use it anymore! Keep this in mind should that situation come up.”
Riealone says “Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest is the best counter to that champion. Try to focus him in teamfights to deny his reset-on-kill oriented gameplay ”
Suseri says “Dodge his stun or follow his R with your Q, he can deal alot of damage but you scale better so if you avoid his stun you should be good to go. Also try to stop him from getting takedowns otherwise he will heal alot.”
Pusi Puu says “You beat him at every stage of the game unless he's super ahead. Always fight him when you can and look to invade him since he has no escape tools. Try to kill him first so he doesn't get to use his passive.”
PulseBeat_02 says “Be very careful around him. Always make sure you have a black shield in handy to block his stun. When he goes into camouflage, make sure to have that fast reaction time. ”
litecrunch says “He will fuck you up in a 1v1. If he is in a teamfight he should be the first priority target because he can get so many resets off kills. Don't try to duel him unless you are decently fed.”
SoSheolH says “In the right hands, Viego is busted. He has ridiculous sustain with his lifesteal, high damage and his passive can win teamfights, since he can possess you and CC your team if he kills you early on in it. Don't fight him at all if your team's not there to burst him out while you tank the damage, and even then you have to be extremely careful. Play rate seems to be waning, but still my go-to pick for a permaban.”
LordGrox says “I have rarely played this matchup. Seems to have good CC and damage, but should die easily if you get a good catch. Respect his passive invulnerability, as it can block your R.”
c0st0m says “very easy to kite can fight him at more or less all stages of the games dont get hit by his w also he can buy wits end & hexdrinker to minimize ur damage so look out for that and consider buying demonic if need be”
EversideHS says “Against Viego your primary goal is to not feed him. Just farm your camps until you can get an item lead, fighting before then he out sustains you.”
chevy the sloot says “Kinda hard to say so far even though I spammed him on PBE. You farm way faster than him but he hard out duels you and out ganks you early. Just track him early and hope your team doesn't die to him. After 6 with red smite, you should be ahead in farm and can kill him easy unless he's rushing MR. ”
AST Raposo says “Just don't try to 1v1 him on jungle and everything is fine. But also make sure he won't be too much ahead in comparison to you. Teamfights you will have the chance to do more than him.”
DarkWither says “His gap closer is on the lower hand of the spectrum this is why I did not put him into extreme, overall champs with gap closers that do damage really quickly (before you can w & e them) are the best counter to Taliyah but with enough practice you can get a decent game against Viego if you have enough experience on her.”
Tofolo says “Viego al momento è un problema in generale, se chi lo usa ha studiato è troppo sbilanciato. Ha una capacità di carry fuori scala nei team fight. Per ora da problemi un po' a tutti (mi aspetto dei Nerf migliori su di lui...) in compenso a bassi livelli è facile trovare gente che non lo usa con scioltezza perché comunque è nuovo e non proprio easy da usare e capire, in quel caso siete fortunati e lo distruggete. Resta la difficoltà 5 come monito per voi e protesta a DIORIOT. ”
waayWest says “Hard matchup, if he lands his stun you can say goodbye to your HP. Maybe it's possible to beat him if you approach him similarly to kayn?”
Get Ricked says “Viego is really strong and beats you early as well. If he gets a lead you can't take him on. If you dodge his W you can take him after lvl 6. If not, he just kills you”
Joshzki says “Viego is a terrible match up for Sej, thi s is mainly because his kit naturally makes him a tank destroyer, he will pretty much beat you 1v1 at any point in the game and you should start your red so that you don't face him at scuttle because you will lose unless you have mid prio.”

Tips Against Viego in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
WayOfTheTempesst says “Facing Viego you have to windwall his W and try to dash out of his ulti. His Q -AA trades are strong so if you get hit by Q, back off and wait until his mark falls off. His sustain is a lot better than yours until you reach Shieldbow. ”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Matchup can be a little annoying due to his high burst and out sustains you early. Similar to the Sylas matchup just play to scale and not trade dmg early esp if you take Conq and you will outscale. Take 2nd wind and shieldbash.”
Katasandra says “[1] When he uses his E, stay away from it as he can easily use it to get close enough to W
[2] Stay away from him when he charges his W. Possibly stand behind minions to avoid it.
[3] Can self R his R if in danger
[4] Get oblivion orb after chapter”
XayLies says “The Ruined King is really strong, I'll recommend igniting him and never go one by one against him - he wll just get another and another ults. instead, group up against him because his AoE Power isn't great and he'll find himself stuck between your teammates eventually.”
Coldsong says “Viego has really good dueling potential. Similar to Akali shroud, wait out his E since it gives him camoflague and attack speed. Also beware when he possesses someone, as it makes him untargetable. Flashing his R is very important and try to not let him predict you if you E away.”
PASS10NE says “Laning against Viego can be difficult, since he is a lot stronger than you early on. Try to snowball from roaming if you can't kill him.”
Wunsch3957 says “He's a little busted right now but you can block his only CC (his W) and you easily win auto Q battles because your Q is on a shorter cooldown and that you have a shield. But don't fight when he has E up and take short trades where he can't proc his Q passive to heal up.
Rush Executioners. Conq.”
Lot of Wind here says “A counter of Yasuo mid. He can outdamage you very hard, and his R makes him unstopabble, meaning you cannot use your R on him. Play safe and try to scale up.”
Wunsch3957 says “Another champion who stat checks you. Try not to get hit by his W and don't fight in his E. Just out scale him and survive lane phase. Fleet with either red/green tree and flash/ignite.”
Hienaa says “All easy for being melee champs, not on tier 2 because they can all build seekers, and viego is just broken so it’s a little tricky to play vs him sometimes.”
Impossible2Gank says “Very annoying to deal. His kit lets him do plenty in lane and it can be hard to keep up. If you box accordingly and itemize well you should be able to come out on top.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) just play for trades and try to not get hit by his W and always let his conq stacks expire, then you can all in and just kill him, would recommend ignite.”
Mpegial says “He will shred your HP if you get close to him, you are better off poking and getting what little CS you can, aside from that killing him level 6 should be possible.”
The Jhin Cena says “From my limited experience fighting Viego, he doesn't seem very threatening. He is easy to hook and trade with, and he can't really prevent you from farming like most other match ups. Also unlike Sylas, he can't really exploit Pyke's kit very well on the off chance that he kills you.”
Coldsong says “Viego has really good dueling potential. Similar to Akali shroud, wait out his E since it gives him camoflague and attack speed. Also beware when he possesses someone, as it makes him untargetable.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) just play for trades and try to not get hit by his W and always let his conq stacks expire, then you can all in and just kill him, would recommend ignite.”
BigFatCat909 says “Haven't laned against him as Zed and hardly know what he does but i've been told the matchup should be considered comparable to Pyke. (Read Pyke)”
SkyBanana says “Broken. Do not die to him. He will abuse your Echo mechanic and enable his team to have a higher advantage if you think you won the fight but died to him.”
ezmod66 says “? Dudes trolling if he picks this mid lane.
Look for kill level 3. Contest him on cs, aa him and q e when you get a chance.
Matchup Difficulty: Easy

Tips Against Viego in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Sovereign Kitten says “Ultimately Viego is like facing Pantheon and his spear jab, as all Viego can really do is (Q) spam to reach you from range you really want to try to fight in the open away from walls / terrain otherwise he will have the advantage, fighting in the jungle isn’t a good idea vs Viego because of his E and his Ultimate. His E will allow him to gain camouflage and be able to hop in and out of vision which offers him a lot of extra kill protection and survivability. Max your Blinding Dart due to his auto attack reliant nature as well. Viego’s Passive allows him to possess a dead body and take their basic abilities (Q-W-E) and items (among other things). When he does this, he becomes invulnerable and can dodge incoming damage but you can drop a shroom at his feet.”
Psychopathic Top says “Don't have enough testing yet with this character, but in the few games that I did face it I almost always faced a Viego with ignite. He has lots of healing so bramble rush is obvious, besides that, if you stack well, can probably run him down with bramble sheen but DON'T TAKE MY WORDS on it (not sure yet). Teamfights should be hard because of his R kill reset. ”
Drake6401 says “Keep fights away from walls, don't let him get free poke early, and abuse your sustain advantage over him at level 4 onward. Your level 6 power spike is much stronger so wait for that if you're having trouble for whatever reason. Viego will have a better-extended trade so use the standard burst trade to chunk him down and go for the kill on round two. His stun is ranged but you can see it coming.”
quinn adc says “This matchup I have only played twice toplane, but from my games, I think it is okay. I will update this more when I face him more.
E cancels his W stun, and basically play the lane aggro, and if he uses his stealth ability, try to fight him after it expires because you have a short window to do a lot of damage to him.
Post 6, if he Rs you, Vault him instantly and run away to escape his engage. Do not dive him when his stealth ability is up becasue it is such a good ability to prevent diving from happening.”
Raen says “Outrange you with his 225 range when you have only 125. When he uses his Q or dash try to all in him. Try to move a lot in this matchup. Tabi and executioner are good items vs Viego.”
LoLReal says “Not very problematic for us. Darius wins at all points vs. Viego except very, very late. Careful of his sustain in lane and all in often.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. He is really weak early. He can't really do much in lane. Stay behind minions and if he goes invisibile go a bit back so he can't hit his stun.”
DarkyTheReal says “Easy matchup, just be careful with early levels.at level 3 you can start making quick trades and at level 6 you can just all-in him, and you'll always win. Get Executioner's Calling or Plated Steel caps”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Spectral Maw(W) or get stuned and fully combo by Viego. Take note his skill Blade of the Ruined King(Q) can deal a chuck of your health and his (Q) passive will remain active while under possession. Fight him outside of Harrowed Path(E) or he will gain buff within the platform for his attack speed and movement speed. Dodge his Heartbreaker(R) and you should be able to out trade if you have grevious wound items for Viego. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Viego) (Recommended Items: Thornmail or Morellos)”
SunFalk says “His intensive healing can make you think you win a duel, but he wins, go grevious wounds and be careful for is invisibility and speed from his E, try to don't get stun by his W and you will be alright”
DippyDan says “Has a pretty long poke range with a charging stun, so can be hard to predict. Should win trades when in range and All-ins. TIPS: [1] Careful when going for CS, look to dodge Q. [2] Q forward and Parry stun to look to kill.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “Really not too big of an issue. His Q poke can be annoying since it goes through creeps and can hit safely under tower, but not too different from dealing with Aatrox, tbh. Both have an annoying W root thing. Do be aware that you can trap him while he's camo'd, but he can later R out of your wall. ”
Fryx says “His heal and percentage damage is very bad for Malphite but Bramble Vest will help you a lot and you can poke him with Q later on. Take care of his ult it does more damage than you think and stay in the lane. Don't focus on the sidelanes too much.”
teemodumbstupid says “He does a lot of max HP% damage, so you can go lethality vs him. Don't e max because he has a lot of sustain. Don't fight until Sheen.”
Humitaxx says “Viego is not a difficult match, but beware of his Q range, since he can just stay behind and poke you, try to get help from your jungler, since his Q passive will help him melt your health bar if he gets ahead pretty quick”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “Viego shouldn't be a threat for you in toplane as Urgot. If he ever tries to engage with W - just E him to your minions. Buy healing reduction. You are way stronger in mid game.”
Zaphy says “try to wq him when he autos minion i didnt have any problems with this mutchup / dont take pta u dont want to heave trade with him just wq auto is good stick to it”
negoZoma69 says “The only moment you can win this lane is levels1-6, after that he just gets so much lifesteal that you poke can't do much and he just 100-0 you if he lands a good stun, so try to be agressive early to prevent this.”
SeptikYT says “Same as Qiyana and Akali, your E reveals him when he is stealthed. You can fight him level 1 but be careful level 2 as he has his stun up, so play at a semi passive aggressive style, go in when his W is on cooldown but safe when it's up.”
SleeplessX says “200 years champ, insane sustain, but squishy and his damage is not that hot early, try to get a lead or get prio to help your jungler and team, he will scale well”
JeanMichelBambi says “Viego has good dueling potential and good enough sustain but he lacks the tankiness a top laner would need to fight Mordekaiser in lane.”
Lunarisen says “He's annoying to deal with but not impossible, Viego won't have the HP you have or the armor which means he'll rely on his dmg and abilities to challenge you; just show him what an axe can do.”
Kaizin says “Viego's Q is a low cooldown, so he will poke you with it all of laning phase, I'd recommend taking second wind into this matchup and try to position yourself so that allied minions are between Viego and yourself. Early game you can take extended trades, as always Volibear's level 3 trade is really strong. Bramble vest early to negate his healing, his q has a passive where if he damages anything with an ability, his next auto attack on them deals extra damage and heals Viego for a flat amount.”
Alekra says “His lifesteal can be a bit annoying - nothing an early Bramble Vest can't fix.
He is an all damage, no tankyness kinda champion so since you can shut him down with your silence, he will usually pop very quickly.
Overall he can't do anything against your all-in. W his stun and he will lose every trade.”
SethPRG says “He's OP right now, and he is scary late game, but if you're laning against him it's not too bad. He will always poke you with his absurd range so try to force trades, you win the AA duel. Save your E to stun him either into a W or a flurry of auto attacks to maximize your advantage. Dodging his W is pretty easy if you sidestep or walk behind him if you're in close range. Don't fight him in his E unless he's near death. His ult is good for getting away, but he will use it on you if you're low HP, so don't hold your W for a very long time. Rush Bramble immediately, possibly Plated Steelcaps too if you're having a hard time, and then go into Stridebreaker. Once you have it, he's not a problem till later in the game. Since he's OP atm, keep him away from your team, especially if your comp is very squishy. Be careful of when he gets souls of enemies, sometimes their abilities can counter you.”
Gordusko says “Viego is quite a problem as well. Make sure to dodge his stun and play close to your turret in case you won't be able to dodge his stun. Otherwise play as you usually do.”
Kil4fun says “Dodge his stun. Poke him out, he's extremely squishy. Spam E Q on him as much as possible and don't let him lifesteal from his double hit auto attack.”
ChevalierArlo says “O cara que criou o Yorick é surpreendentemente fraco contra ele. Leve poção, evite trocas no inicio, use corta-cura e ao longo do jogo você perceberá que ele nem de longe será uma ameaça - A menos que esteja feedado.
Lembre-se que a sombra dele não é igual da Akali. Siga-o a partir de onde ele entrou e você o encontrará e poderá continuar trocando com ele. ”
LoLReal says “Pretty straightforward lane. Keep your passive up when trading with him and you should win all trades. Early bramblevest is OP in this match up. All in him at 6.”
TioKirb says “If he understands the way you abuse your lvl1, you are going to have a bad time. His early has the potential to be better than yours and he heals himself a lot. Wait until Oblivion Orb to be aggressive.”
