Key takeaways

Veigar is favored in this matchup: Veigar wins 72.2% of 36 games, and the whole 95% range (56.0–84.2%) is on the same side of 50%.
That is 16.3 points better for Veigar than both champions' overall Mid win rates predict (55.9%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 193, within the margin of error (36 games).
Veigar players pick Zhonya's Hourglass much less often against Anivia: 23.3% of their other Mid games, 8.3% here.

How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Veigar and Anivia played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Veigar's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Veigar Build vs Anivia

Usual Veigar build (Mid)

75.5% win rate · 53 games

Against Anivia

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 27 Veigar games against Anivia carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Veigar's standard build instead.

Veigar usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 10.6 min (median of 22 games).
Anivia usually completes Rod of Ages first, at 11.8 min (median of 26 games).
Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
