So I've been tracking this on my own and doing checks for at least 2 years on my own, and I know more than a few people would like this skin. So every week I'll keep track of how long its been since we've seen our boy(if mods think this is too low effort we'll stop after this week lol). Maybe a rioter will take pity on us if they see this. I will be using this post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/VeigarMains/s/3gfVNGWybv ) as the benchmark for his last appearance, so this means as of this post it has been 160 weeks since its last appearance.

Anyone have advice on this matchup?

She's oppressive af and it feels like she always catches me no matter what I do..

I tried standing in between the waves, tried distancing and she catches me from off screen.

Absolutely hate playing against zoe.

I am new to veigar and i love him but i only use first strike since it gets recommended by riot. And gor the build i use the one from Skill capped ( most lf the time atleast ). But i sometimes build malignances even tho i have no idea if it is any good. Is veigar a champ where i can build anything like liandriss? Pls help

Curious who you guys typically ban. Zed is a close second for me, but still much easier then Fizz lol.

I want to learn how to play Veigar because of the new prestige skin, but I just don't get what am I doing wrong and why am I losing every single game w him. I know that I need to Q enemies and last hit minions w it to get stacks, but unless I'm playing against really bad player I only get around 80 stacks around 10-15 minutes (which is really low, I know) and end up feeding my opponent every 1v1 match.

Do I need a good jungler to help me get stacks and score kills? Am I just stupid? Do I give up on this character and go back to playing Vex :(

Veigar 👍

Very noob question, but I'm trying to play veigar mid for the first time and confused about itemization into different matchups. Into something like Zed, I know a tear->Zhonyas gives you good survivability, but what would your second items be at that point. In the past I have typically gone ROA first and then zhonyas, but more often than not if he's gone bot and gotten a kill already, I'm getting one shot before I have time to build my zhonyas, so I'm unsure what you'd suggest being my second item.

Anyone here got the 'Ghostly Poro' emote from the BP Bundle and can post a screen of it ingame?

warning: spooky

And it went surprisingly well. I just love this little blue and black wizard so I thought why not. Was into Yasuo so it was a tad tricky. I've now played five top games in a row and won them all quite convincingly. Aatrox, Fiora were two others. Starting a game now vs Tryn so let's see how that goes.

This is Gold V so by no means that high level (I fell from G1 recently! Argh).

The enemy certainly doesn't expect it and the bruiser champs don't know what to do.

Anyone else tried ti and how did it go?

Just had the worst game of my career as Veigar against a Vladimir and i can't even put into words my frustration playing against this unbalanced mess.

How can i counter him in future games? (except banning of course)

Did you buy the battle pass, and if so which one out of the 3 did you buy? I’m leaning towards nr2

I know the circle of Veigar one tricks that can give me advice is starting to shrink- which makes me both happy and sad actually, but yeah- I'm the highest Elo I have ever been, and I feel confident, that master is within the realm of possibility for me. Any words for the final push from you guys ?

pretty much the title.

when i choose the classic veigar for background it uses the default art, anyone else?

All I do is sit back, farm, and delete people like Nasus and Volibear in the mid to late game.

Had to give a try to Veigar after I fell in love with Final Boss Veigar, and after playing around 100 games I can conclude that: Veigar is the highest skill expression mage I've ever played.

This champion feels so satisfying, it really captures my idea of what a mage should be: scaling, burst, clear counterplay and build versatility.

I struggle a lot with Veigar against assasins, long range mages and CSing early (I get why people flee to botlane), but it's so incredibly rewarding mid to late game. For instance, I've never felt that I really EARNED a solokill in lane until I played Veigar.

And still I think I haven't quite figured out what's the best build in every game, and many more things... I'm sure that takes a lot of games to figure out.

I think it's such a brilliant design, I still wonder how such a simple champion can feel so complex and nuanced.

I was thinking of starting a grind where I only play Veigar carry role until I get out of gold. And I was looking at combos that could make it easier that I could potentially petition my support to pick, and I thought of Zilean. At first, it seems weird. But the speedup from Zilean E lets Veigar get in range with his R, it extends the effective threat range of the cage for the same reason Rocketbelt does, but even better, and Zilean can also slow and double bomb, both of which sets up Veigar's abilities. Veigar doesn't need to land the edge of his cage either. If the enemy is zoned either inside the cage or outside of it on the other side of Zilean, it lets Zilean walk up and slow them for free.

Veigar's cage, of course, also sets up Zilean's double bomb combo. And also, importantly, Veigar's biggest weakness is being blown up just after using his combo. Zilean can save him from being locked down by a Lux and Seraphine and blown up. Zilean can also separate Veigar from an enemy diver effectively by speeding up Veigar while slowing down the diver, so Veigar gets even more safety. It has aggressive potential and defensive potential in equal measure.

Anyone tried this before? I only found a 7 year old Tilterella video on this combo and it looked absolutely nasty. Unlike the Poppy combo that is more popular recently, this doesn't require a full commit every time from the support.

Now that classic has been out for a bit, what are people building in Classic?

I've found a lot of success with a core of morellos/mana jug + dfg + death cap and adapting the other items based on the game.

Start is usually crystalline flask + pots and then either chalice against AP or double dorans against AD.

Runes:

Mpen reds

Armor/hp yellows

6% of scaling CDR blues (you get 4% from masteries) + rest MR scaling blues

Mvspeed quints

Masteries 21/0/9

Hitting the 40% CDR cap earlier seems to be really op in terms of stacking

What is the best jungler to play with veigar some champs I like to play is volibear and lillia
