Tips Against Viego in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Janooobi says “Viego is extremely tricky throughout the game, he has the damage to kill you solo and can be a menace in teamfights with his passive, you can hold onto your E for after he uses his passive on a teammate to make it easier to lock him down. Either that or commit your entire kit to kill him before his team can react”
Consolo says “If he goes crit build, stun him before he can even GET to a dead body. If he gets one, stun him then. If you're fighting without anyone dying yet, stun him. Early game? Stun him. Getting a pick? Stun him. If he is stunned in crit build, he folds like a dick in cold water. If he's going bruiser build, standard peeling rules and conditions apply. He does much less damage with that build, and is still killed fairly easily when peeled off.”
Scythe Prince says “Viego is strong in early game because of his kit and (R) , you have to give crap in early game but once you have either if your forms you can beat him
try to be around him to counter gank”
Afstand says “Depends heavily on how fed he is and how far ahead you are, but for the most part it's an okay match-up. The issues come post-6 when he can ult reset and become anyone on your team.”
Tiger-Moose says “A lot of the difficulty versus Viego is how good he is in teamfights. If he possesses a person or two, the fight is assumably lost at that point. Try to focus him in fights within reason.”
MrMeem45 says “If you dodge his W, he's dead. If you invade his jungle, he's dead. Viego pops off when his enemies don't counter him at all. Just - just show up. That's all you have to do. He'd be a 1 if your teammates couldn't screw the pooch on him too.”
b0n0 says “I Can't handle Viego. I feel like Viego scales better and overall just has a stronger kit to duel. If you're fed this is a lot easier but if Viego gets even a little ahead it's good night for us. Try to apply pressure really early to win. ”
J98TheGreat says “He can be a problem for you early on, so you can go for immediately ganking instead of getting the first Scuttler as you will probably just get it taken. The more you focus on helping your lanes win, the less relevant he will be.”
OnslaughtOfPwnys says “Not that strong after the nerfs. Still a big threat since no one knows how to play against him by my prersonal experience. Still a hard fight for you.”
GranadaExperimental says “Viego, one of the best jungle champions, is usually a bigger threat to Kayn, Given his high damage in early game, as well as his auto attacks and abilities tend to deal a lot of damage and I have very rarely been able to beat one. at the start of the game (between 0:50 - 10:00)”
King Fidd says “A very annoying champion. Once he has Shieldbow and Mercury Treads you lose the ability to 1v1 him with ult. You will need an ally to help you burst him down before he pops off and gets his resets in fights.”
Da Mastah says “You can easily outfarm, outscale, and outduel him at all points in the game. Look for invades and abuse him in the Jungle if you get a significant lead.”
Mayday36 says “Viego can be a big threat because of his passive which gives him a large amount of percentage health damage on his autos which can make it really hard to win extended trades with him.”
The Elysian1 says “Another not a big deal champ but his passive makes him Even of Threat for Qiyana. 1v1s can be dangerous but if you have a lot of CC chain with your teammates try finding a window to shut him down. He will probably invade you , so put pink wards in your jungle.
”
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.”
NixLychee says “High damage, sustain, strong CC, stealth, and some incredible objective taking, akin to Master Yi. This is one of my personal least favorite matchups because if Viego is behind, all he needs is to get an assist on you or your teammates and then he can turn into them. He's not too strong right now though, and is easily abusable in the early game. ”
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 ”
Veralion says “Viego's been overnerfed and now struggles to get his snowball rolling. His winrate in jungle is godawful. You should have no issues at all beating him in a 1v1. The champ is extremely low value until he can get his possessions off, so you only need to be careful if he gets a few lucky kills and has some damage. Just be careful if he's around a low health teammate and you should be good to go. ”
Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest. Phase Rush if necessary.
ITEMS: Zhonya's Hourglass. Morellonomicon against his healing.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Viego is a skirmisher similar to Master Yi, where a single kill in a teamfight can snowball and grant him victory. He's not an early game jungler, but he's not the worst either, don't challenge him unless you have a lead/he's behind. Wait for him to waste his own ult before using R so he can't cancel it, or just ult as fast as you can to potentially bait our his R or get a sleep off on him if he doesn't want to waste the cooldown.”
MexBookMaster says “Viego está muy fuerte en la jungla y eso todos lo sabemos. Rhaast con Ignite es muy bueno debido a que se cura mucho. Lleva el Castigo Rojo y no dejes que saque ventaja porque carrea muy duro este campeón, esquiva su E y si vas con ventaja puedes matarlo.”
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.”
Lambda Diana says “He isn't very strong right now make sure to get orb early on as he has a lot of healing in his kit and items he does out scale so try to in early. If he can get passive resets you aren't going to have a fun time. Do your best to set him behind and end early with rifts. ”
ItsSkoob says “Weaker than you early game but if he gets resets in a big fight you're doomed. Just try to keep ahead and dont let him get that one big fight.”
SketchtheHunter says “The problem I have with Viego is it only takes one idiot for him to take over a game. Rush a Oblivion Orb or Bramble Vest and keep the pressure up. Needs good tracking to keep down.”
Bangu54graus says “KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK CHAMPION Q DA AUTOATTACK CONTRA RAMMUS XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD SO FAZER EGIDE Q VC SOLA ELE BRINCANDO”
Suseri says “Dodge his stun or follow his R with your Q, he can deal alot of damage but you scale better so later on you should be good. Also try to stop him from getting takedowns otherwise he will heal alot.”
RichMrFork says “Grab grievous wounds. Play with your team to not let him get resets on your allies. His skirmishing and dueling is extremely strong so try to avoid fighting him alone unless you already built a lead. Don't let him get stray kills no matter how far behind he is as Viego is one of the most snowball champs in the entire game.”
LilPaniniUwU says “This champ is frankly pretty disgusting right now. Absurd damage, sustain, strong CC, stealth, and some incredible objective taking, akin to Master Yi. This is my personal least favorite matchup because if you're even with Viego he is still stronger than you at most points in the game.
”
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. Fail to find an advantage, however, and he can find ways to wreak havoc. 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.”
AggroBeat says “Honesly, Viego isn't that much of a threat. Try to focus him on team fights, and don't try to fight him, unless you can land a beefy stun on him. Other than that, this is an even matchup.”
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. ”
victus6060 says “Really just whoever is better although if you are ahead and someone kills you, everyone is done for. A sylas secondary player will have a field day with your soul becuase they get your W's insane healing plus all your CC and burst damage.”
Vispectra says “He's been nerfed a few times and he can spiral out of control. I'm not sure if he can kill you in lane my matchups into him usually don't end up with me dying since he shouldn't be able to burst you and his stun is pretty slow unless he taps it. He can snowball pretty hard. ”
BlackFalcon2005 says “Viego, Viego, what to say about Viego. He is just one champ but every champ at the same time. Still, when he is himself his damage is still pretty strong.”
MrMeem45 says “Probably about the most even matchup here. If you get a kill or two, never leave him alone. He doesn't outscale you and you don't outscale him. Unleash all of your burst on him the second he possesses one of your squishy teammates and, as with nearly every champion, the baron quickdraw strat is your best friend.”
TheOneEyedGhost says “Viego has a lot of healing in a 1v1 you will tie, until he use his SS. Always try to alpha strike early to dodge his attacks and use meditate to reduce the damage of his SS. Try to pick up an early Executioner's Calling to cancel out his healing.”
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. With him only really being played mid recently and just having received a nerf to that position, you shouldn't see him much, but when you do, watch out.”
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.”
TheInkKingLoL says “Difficult to fight. Easy to tell when he's ganking because of his E. Look to invade him or countergank him. Take early objectives.”
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. ”
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.”
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?”
Wolf Rengar says “Recommended: Electrocute Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Dodge his W and don't fight him solo when he will be ahead ever.
Viego is really strong in solo duels but you might oneshot him before he will even use his spells so look for that.
”
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.”
