Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Veigar's superior range, wave control, and your inability to trade effectively without taking minion damage and his Q poke.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R provides the gap-close needed to bypass his E and burst him down, especially since he has no reliable escape tools.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pre-6 is Q the wave to hit him simultaneously, then use passive movement speed to dodge his abilities and get an empowered auto before backing off.
- Post-6, look for R1-Q-auto-W-R2 combos when his E is down or when you can bait it out first.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and maintaining energy for trades rather than trying to contest every CS early.
- Post-6, maintain the wave in a neutral position where you can all-in him without tower interference, as you excel at extended fights in the middle of the lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W aggressively pre-6 as it's your only tool to avoid his E-W combo and disengage from bad trades.
- The critical mistake is using both R charges immediately in your combo, as good Veigar players will E after your first R, so you need R2 available to escape his cage.
