Veigar vs Thresh Matchup Summary

The Veigar vs Thresh matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 30 recent matches analyzed, Veigar wins with a 63.3% win rate compared to Thresh's 36.7%, giving Veigar a 26.7 percentage point advantage. Veigar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Thresh players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Thresh leads by 664 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Veigar players can confidently pick into Thresh and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Thresh away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
2.1Veigar
1.4Thresh

Damage
614Veigar
348Thresh
Veigar heavily out-damages Thresh by 266 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Thresh 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.
Economy
10,229Veigar
8,629Thresh
Veigar generates a commanding 1,600 more gold per game than Thresh. This substantial economic advantage means Veigar consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Thresh should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.1Veigar
1.3Thresh
Both Veigar and Thresh provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
420Veigar
1,084Thresh
Thresh vastly out-sustains Veigar, healing and mitigating 664 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Thresh can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Veigar is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Veigar, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Veigar Build Against Thresh

Sorcerer's Shoes is the optimal boots choice against Thresh, providing the mobility and stats Veigar needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Veigar against Thresh are Rod of Ages, Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Rabadon's Deathcap.
