View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Rek'Sai Jungle vs Viego Jungle in patch 15.15 (25.15), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 61.5% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

While Rek'Sai remains a niche pick (1.8% pick rate, 37th place out of 54 Jungle champions), Viego dominates the current meta jungle with 13.7% popularity. Mastering this matchup is crucial for Rek'Sai players - you'll face Viego in the majority of your games. Challenging situation: Rek'Sai's weak 47.8% overall win rate compounds with this difficult matchup, creating serious obstacles for climbing. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Conqueror + Triumph combination (75.4% win rate) plus optimal itemization Stridebreaker, Sterak's Gage, Black Cleaver, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 45.2% to 61.5% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Rek'Sai faces both matchup (45.23%) and farming disadvantages (5.66 vs 6.42/min). With a 0.76 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Viego leads in both matchup win rate (54.8%) and damage (694 vs 555/min). Rek'Sai must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Rek'Sai maintains better KDA (2.90, 12th place vs 34th for Viego), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Viego as Rek'Sai (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Rek'Sai deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Viego deals mainly physical damage (82.08%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Viego, ranking 20th (versus 38th for Rek'Sai) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Rek'Sai Jungle versus Viego Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Rek'Sai player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Viego player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Rek'Sai tips:

  • Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.
  • Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.
  • Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.
