Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Veigar (3.7%, 24th place out of 61 Mid champions) regularly faces Aurelion Sol (1.9%, 37th place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Surprising upset: Despite Veigar's higher tier rating, Aurelion Sol wins 51.2% of encounters. This suggests Aurelion Sol's kit specifically counters Veigar's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Arcane Comet + Manaflow Band combination (51.7% win rate) plus optimal itemization Rod of Ages, Archangel's Staff, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 48.8% to 56.5% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Veigar faces both matchup (48.83%) and farming disadvantages (6.28 vs 7.16/min). With a 0.88 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Veigar outputs more damage (837 vs 748/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Aurelion Sol: leads in both matchup win rate (51.2%) and KDA (2.60 vs 2.20, 12th vs 43rd place). Veigar players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

Veigar tips:

  • Use Event Horizon to increase your chances of landing Dark Matter.
  • Veigar is extremely Mana and Cooldown Reduction dependent. Try buying items with these stats in order to increase the effectiveness of your passive and Baleful Strike.
  • Veigar is very fragile. It is valuable to select at least one summoner spell that can be used defensively.
