Viego The Ruined King

Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Transformed into a powerful, unliving specter tortured by an obsessive longing for his centuries-dead queen, Viego now stands as the Ruined King, controlling the deadly Harrowings as he scours Runeterra for anything that might one day restore her, and destroying all in his path as the Black Mist pours endlessly from his cruel, broken heart.

MetaBot Tips

  • Viego has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Viego has less damage per game than most other damage dealer champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
  • Viego has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover damage taken very well.
  • Viego has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Viego 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.
  • Viego has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
