Respect Viego's level 6 and first fighter item spikes by avoiding isolated river fights.

Convert early dueling leads into Scuttle and dragon vision control to deny Viego safe resets.
Use your crowd control and dueling power to punish Viego's aggressive pathing and force him off camps.
Leverage lane priority and objective control to isolate Viego and prevent his reset-driven snowball.
