Veigar vs Heimerdinger Matchup Summary

The Veigar vs Heimerdinger matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 47 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 59.6% win rate compared to Veigar's 40.4%, giving Heimerdinger a 19.1 percentage point advantage. Heimerdinger dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
