Keep the wave neutral if you have kill pressure so he must walk up to farm. - Start objective setups early so you do not enter through his E zone. Force him to use it defensively, then take space before it returns. - Avoid stacking in choke points where one E blocks the whole team. Send one threat to pressure his cooldown, then commit from a second angle. ## Where Veigar is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Veigar needs time to stack and scale, making early pressure costly before his burst becomes oppressive. - Veigar's safety revolves around his cage, so multi-angle pressure can force it and reach him afterward. ## Veigar counters: questions ### Who counters Veigar in Mid?
