Vex the Gloomist

In the black heart of the Shadow Isles, a lone yordle trudges through the spectral fog, content in its murky misery. With an endless supply of teen angst and a powerful shadow in tow, Vex lives in her own self-made slice of gloom, far from the revolting cheer of the “normie” world. Though she lacks ambition, she is quick to strike down color and happiness, stopping all would-be interlopers with her magical malaise.

MetaBot Tips

  • Vex tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
  • Vex has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Vex has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Vex has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Vex has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Vex has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
  • Vex has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
