Veigar — LoL Classic counters & build

Who beats Veigar in League of Legends: Classic, who Veigar beats, and the Season 3 items, runes and masteries to run mid. Patch 26.17.

Veigar is weak against

Pantheon mid
He kills you repeatedly before you stack, and your early game is the worst in the mode.
Gangplank mid
Parrrley harass denies your stacking and Scurvy cleanses the cage.
Talon mid
AD burst that ignores the magic resist your ult scaling assumes.

Veigar is strong against

Kassadin mid
Event Horizon stops Riftwalk and Primordial Burst executes a champion built of magic damage.
Katarina mid
The cage interrupts Death Lotus and stops every reset in the chain.
Akali mid
Cage traps her inside the shroud and your burst finishes her there.
Ryze mid
Your ult scales off his AP and you outrange his whole combo.

Alternative Veigar builds

DFG Veigar: Deathfire Grasp → Rabadon's Deathcap → Rylai's Crystal Scepter → Zhonya's Hourglass → Void Staff
Deathfire Grasp is percent-health damage multiplied by infinite stacked AP - the single hardest one-shot in Season 3.

Veigar rune page

9× Mark of Magic Penetration9× Seal of Armor9× Glyph of Scaling Ability Power3× Quintessence of Ability Power

Flat magic penetration is the strongest first-blood stat in Season 3 - base MR is only 30 at level 1, so 9 marks strip a fifth of it. Scaling AP glyphs beat flat ones from about level 9.

Veigar masteries

21/9/0 Offense. Archmage multiplies your whole AP curve, and Arcane Knowledge stacks with magic penetration marks.
