Essence reaver

I tried to play viego with lot of diff builds for experiments. Played hob even before it was notices as much as it does now, played bruisers, crits tanks, but something still missed for me in search of perfect build. And after I tried essence reaver. And even when I was convinced that it’s “waste of passive” “collector is better” and etc, I just felt that ER feels better. Like if we go conq with kraken>ER, I feel I still deal ton of damage and even more to bit tankeir champs like bruisers. Yes it’s still a bit waste for useless passive but same tryndamere builds it too and feels fine. Like I don’t feel it’s such a waste while you still get major dps from it. It’s still really nice amount of damage and really helps with much ups where collector falls out really fast. And it’s my opinion I had for a while, I feel collector is dogshit item on most of crit users but it’s kinda another topic. Just wonder what you guys feel about ER after time passed

Is it fine to stay on Conqueror

Im a viego OTP and I dislike the hail of blades play style and was wondering if the old build is still fine to run. I still do the cashback method and dont buy full boots.

Second jungler ideas?

I’m a Viego main with my next most played jungler as nocturne although they both have the same strengths of being good against squishy comps and bad against heavy cc and tanker comps so who would be a good second jungler to play when the enemy comp is bad for Viego/when he is banned?

I like Veigo but I'm not a fan of his passive and ult.

I love his Q, W and especially his E. I don't mind the Jungle role. But I'm just not a fan of his ult resets and copies. Feels clunky and annoying to use if you don't know the abilities of who you're copying. What should I do? Should I just stick with it and push through? Or go back to playing mid?

If Riot goes crazy and puts exalted skins at 3250 RP. Would you buy it?

First Item Debate

So the #1 viego builds collector first every game w HoB runes. Is this more viable than conqueror and kraken first item like elekktro says to build?

Also, is going Hubris too large of a gamble do you think?

Im at my limit, i dont understand how to make this champion work. Genuinely miserable experience throughout. I was Plat 2 and went down to gold just for trying to spam this thing

He has negative 1v1 potential until 3 items, which means you NEED your team to be able do literally anything on the map. Im fucking low elo, in 9 out of 10 games i already have at least 2 lanes going 0/2 before i even finish my first clear, im literally im not allowed to be nearly useless that long.

Second is that in 9 out of 10 games the support player WILL pick a fucking mage/enchanter/pyke or whatever squishy bullshit they can think of. i feel like if you dont have people actually going face first to fights you literally cannot do anything with this champion, the moment you even have to thought of attacking someone without an ally on your back you are straight toast. All mages and enchanters will rather sit 50 meters away and watch me lose every single fight than help me fight someone.

And even if i kindly ask them to pick a tank for once the odd are that they dont have the single slightest clue of how to pilot a tank champion, which means they are gonna dive 2v2 on botlane non stop, it does NOT matter if they lose repetedly. I lost count of how many tank supports ive seen going 0/7 by 10 minutes just because i asked them to pick a tank.

People will not help you in fights with this champion in low elo, its just how it is in the nearly 100 games i played.

My build is hail of blades, rush hubris - collector- LDR. Its what the streamers are currently building.

best viego build against tanks

i play HOB hubris viego and conq kraken viego and they both seam usless against tanks

i dont mean one tank in the enemy team, i mean like three tanks for example: sion, naut, poppy. Even when i get my team to engage for me i deal low to no damage at all atleast till 3 or even 4 items sometimes, and by then we wouldve already be hard losing, so any one have new ideas or even other champions to play when i see three tanks against me

Cannot play this champ

I've been trying to learn viego but just dont understand him fundamentally. Im doing the hail of blades build, I know yout supposed to play him like an assain. My biggest problem is that ganking feels so bad, and I feel like I'm just afk farming all game as a result.

Trying "new" HoB hubris rush build, am i crazy or does this build only goes online after three items? (hubris-collector-ldr)

I swear to god i feel like i deal no damage before that

I want to learn Viego but I don't like having to know every champs abilities.

I'm a new player, just moved from mid to jungle. I like most things about Viego, but having to know what every champ's abilities are seems really overwhelming. One of the main reasons I quit playing mid was because laning against a champ whose abilities I didn't know was basically impossible. They'd always pull some bullshit that I didn't expect and kill me. Having to know every heroes abilities seems really scary and I'm not sure I'm up for that.

Feels like boots is very optional considering how viego works

(this is about burst viego with HoB)
You rarely take prolonged fights in your own body without E, you are mostly dead if you do so, so you don't need the extra mobility from boots.

More often than not, your E, or simply walking if you have relentless hunter provides enough roaming speed. plus, skipping boots lets you hit your item spikes much faster. thoughts?

Jungling on Viego

Hi, I am a person who can't stick to 1 champion ever (yes, my highest mastery is a mastery 5 on viego on my level 300 account) and I love viego the most out of all the champions because he lets me experience other champions in 1 game.

I wouldn't say I have an issue with viego but more so just jungling. I struggle ganking and I see myself farming more than actually ganking and not getting a lead on viego.
And when I do try to go for a gank, I see my laners just not bothering with actually helping me in the gank (I am kinda low elo cause i dont play ranked)
It feels like my ganks are.. weak?

Does anyone have tips? I don't have much playtime as well on viego so I would love to hear some small tips on viego from actual mains!

I'm the #1 Viego on onetricks.gg, here's my guide/unique playstyle. AMA

Hiiii everyone!!! 🌸

Now that I got #1 I can finally share my thoughts and build without being labelled a schizophrenic 😭💔

Basically:

  1. Viego is an assassin, not a skirmisher!! He can't utilize Kraken as well as you'd think, because he has no self peel that allows him to DPS in fights it would actually matter in
  2. His only self-peel is killing the enemy as fast as possible to possess quickly or get out
  3. This build scales very well (even into lategame) because of how Lethality + AD interacts with Crit and Armorpen

What builds I run and what I do vs tanks is all explained on the guide that I made, as well as some extra info + combos. Just hover the items you want to understand!

THE GUIDE

You've never seen this type of dmg before, you onetap Mordekaiser in one stun before he can R you (even if he has armor). You kill Ekko before he can R.

You oneshot their ADC with W > Auto > Q


It's not only the most fun build, it's also the strongest. Lucky us :3 YOU GOTTA TRY IT!! I also stream on Twitch but like... well, just take a look for yourself 💀

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask me anything!

About Revenant Reign Viego: Ascension

This will come off greedy to many perhaps, but I've been thinking how much this skin could have used an additional final sword that Viego would unlock upon Ascending.

>What is Ascension?

For those who are not familiar, Ascension is the final animation event that occurs when the special central Crown HUD is clicked by the player after a Pentakill or 15x Possessions are achieved.

This special event unlocks ALL champion class Swords, adding extra VFX layers to Viego's sword, crown, gauntlets and hair model parts.

The final Sword would be similar to the starting Revenant Blade in nature, as it doesn't belong to any class archetype —however it would be the final "prize" for a champion to pursue that would truly symbolize the completion of this already astounding meta-quest.

That being said, it's just wishful thinking, I know.

But just thought to let my thought out about it !!!
