Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Veigar wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Illaoi's 50.0%, giving Veigar a 0.0 percentage point advantage.

Farming
7.1Veigar

Damage
1,133Veigar
594Illaoi
Veigar heavily out-damages Illaoi by 539 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Illaoi should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Veigar's sustained damage advantage take over.

Veigar provides 0.5 seconds more crowd control per minute than Illaoi, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Veigar coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
