Viego·Mid Counters

Try and use your range advantage to bully and harass Viego whenever he walks up to farm. He is a melee champion who can easily be bullied by ranged champions.

Viego will find it difficult to kill you in lane if you keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map. This will give him less room to manoeuvre.

Make sure there is a minion between you and him at all times. This will make it impossible for him to CC you with his W.

In team fights, as soon as Viego runs in, try to CC him and burst him down first. He is pretty vulnerable to CC and if you can kill him before he gets his combo off, the enemy will lose out on a lot of damage.

Keep track of who he can change into at the start and during a fight. Try to play accordingly to all of his potential new abilities.

Try and avoid fighting in the river or in the jungle as Viego’s E can make him very hard to kill. It is better to fight in the open or after he has used his E. His E allows him to be super slippery.

Viego’s skirmishing power in the eraly game is quite high. Keep this in mind when trying to 1v1 him as he is pretty good early on.

Viego’s level 6 power spike is very good. He will often go for insanely aggressive plays with his Ultimate R.

If he takes over the body of a fed enemy champion, he will be extremely difficult to deal with. However, if he takes over a weak champion, he may not be that big of a threat.
