How to beat Viego

Common role: Jungle

A reset skirmisher who possesses the champions he kills to chain-fight.

What makes Viego dangerous

When Viego kills a champion (or gets an assist on a marked target), he possesses their corpse — gaining their abilities, healing, and a free burst — then resets. In a teamfight one kill can spiral into a wipe. He dashes and stuns with his Q-marked hits and dives with his ultimate onto low-health targets.

How to play against Viego

• 1Don't feed his resets: never let him get the first kill in a fight cheaply. Peel and burst him before he possesses an ally and snowballs the fight.
• 2Focus him during his possession window — the possessed body has low health and expires. Killing him ends the chain.
• 3Respect his ult: it dashes onto and executes a low-health target for a guaranteed reset. Don't sit at low HP in his range.
• 4Grievous Wounds cuts the healing he gets from possessing and from his passive. Anti-heal makes his dives far riskier.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No resets means no snowball — deny the first kill.
• ✓Possessed body is low-health and time-limited.
• ✓Squishy skirmisher; hard CC and burst punish him.
• ✓Healing cut by Grievous Wounds.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Viego's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Dominación soberana

  Los enemigos que caen rendidos ante Viego se convierten en espectros. Al atacar a un espectro, Viego toma el control temporalmente del cadáver de su enemigo, lo que le cura un porcentaje de la vida máxima de su objetivo y le permite acceder a sus habilidades básicas y objetos. Sustituye la habilidad definitiva de su objetivo por un lanzamiento gratuito de la suya propia.

  Strong: possesses champions he kills, gaining their kit, healing and a reset. Weak: deny him the first kill and focus the possessed body — it's low-health and expires.

• Q
  Hoja del rey arruinado

  La espada espectral de Viego inflige daño por vida actual adicional de forma pasiva al golpear y golpea dos veces a los enemigos a los que haya golpeado recientemente con una habilidad, lo que les roba vida.Viego puede activar esta habilidad para atacar hacia delante con su espada a dos manos y empalar a los enemigos que se encuentren delante de él.

• W
  Fauces espectrales

  Viego concentra su energía antes de deslizarse hacia delante y lanzar una bola de Niebla Negra condensada que aturde al primer enemigo golpeado.

• E
  Camino del tormento

  Viego ordena a la Niebla Negra que se manifieste y rodee un obstáculo del terreno. Viego se puede esconder en la Niebla en forma espectral, lo que le otorga camuflaje, velocidad de movimiento y velocidad de ataque.

• R
  Rompecorazones

  Viego se teleporta a una ubicación cercana y ejecuta a un campeón enemigo al llegar, atravesando su corazón y provocando una destructiva onda de choque a su alrededor que empuja a un lado al resto de enemigos.

  Strong: dashes onto and executes a low-health target for a guaranteed reset. Weak: don't sit at low HP in his range, and Grievous Wounds cuts his healing.

Itemization

Viego is AD with reset-fueled healing. Grievous Wounds cuts his sustain, armor and hard CC punish his dives, and the key is denying him the kills that fuel his resets. Peel your carries so he can't chain a fight.
