Aphelios vs Veigar Matchup Summary

The Aphelios vs Veigar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Veigar wins with a 58.6% win rate compared to Aphelios's 41.4%, giving Veigar a 17.2 percentage point advantage. Veigar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
