Veigar Support Counter Guide

Top Counter Picks

• Zyra (Strong poke and zone control)
• Galio (Tank with magic resist and CC)
• Zoe (Long-range pressure and mobility)
• Vel'Koz (Outranges Veigar's abilities)
• Sona (Sustain and poke potential)

Early Game Strategy

• Exploit Veigar's E (Event Horizon) cooldown
• Stay behind minions to avoid Q poke
• Ward bottom lane to prevent gank setups
• Play cautiously when Flash is down
• Punish his weak early game presence

How to Counter Veigar

• Bait out Event Horizon before engaging
• Position carefully in teamfights to avoid cage
• Lock him down with CC when possible
• Build magic resistance items early
• End game quickly before he scales
• Stay spread out to avoid multi-target stuns

Power Spike Awareness

• Level 6 (Dark Matter + Primordial Burst combo)
• Mid-game (After completing first item)
• Late game (Infinite AP scaling from Q)

Teamfight Tips

• Focus Veigar early in fights
• Avoid clumping together
• Keep track of his ultimate cooldown
• Stay at maximum range when possible
• Use QSS or Cleanse for cage escapes

Item Counters

• Mercury's Treads
• Banshee's Veil
• Edge of Night

Core Weaknesses

• Immobile without Flash
• Predictable skill shots
• Long early-game cooldowns
• Vulnerable to all-ins
• Weak against sustained damage

Remember to coordinate with your jungler to punish Veigar's immobility and capitalize on his weak early game presence before he can scale into late game.
