If he has not based and you have tempo, collapse before he can farm back into the map. - Hold key CC until after he uses R or commits forward. Casting too early lets him dodge the punish and escape. - Deny low-health resets in skirmishes by peeling backward together. One possession can turn a lost fight into a wipe. - Finish targets cleanly or disengage before he reaches them. Do not leave half-health bodies for his passive to reset the fight. - Save burst and CC for his first possession exit. Punishing that moment stops the chain before it reaches your carries. ## Where Viego is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Viego's resets require nearby dying enemies, so clean disengage denies the possession chain that makes fights snowball. - Viego has to enter melee to finish targets, making hard CC and focus fire punish his first commit. ## Viego counters: questions ### Who counters Viego in Jungle?
