Veigar vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Ezreal's last-hit steps when his (E) is down and support can't punish back.
Veigar wins by controlling wave near safety and using (E) to trap Ezreal for burst, avoiding extended DPS trades.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and (Q) Ezreal when he commits to last-hit outside minion cover, only if support threat is low.
Use (E) to trap Ezreal after he wastes (E) or walks predictably for CS, then follow up with burst.
Avoid trading when (E) is available as he can dodge (E) and punish you with poke or repositioning.

Danger windows

(E) reposition plus support follow-up creates dangerous all-in windows; avoid stepping forward without (E) ready.
When (Q) is unblocked by minions and support controls brush, do not attempt last-hit punish to avoid poke.
Avoid extended trades if Ezreal has (E) available and support cooldowns are up, as he can kite and poke safely.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret to limit (Q) poke angles and reduce his (E) reposition window.
Punish Ezreal's last-hit attempts on caster minions if enemy support is not in aggressive position.
Avoid pushing early waves too hard to prevent Ezreal from safely using (E) to escape or engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for execute burst on trapped Ezreal; use this window for all-ins or forcing summoners.
First completed mage item plus (Q) stack growth increases your burst threat, enabling safer trades and wave pressure.
Respect Ezreal's first item spike where his (Q) poke and (E) safety improve, limiting your engage windows.

Win conditions

Deny Ezreal free (Q) stacks by punishing last-hit attempts and forcing him off the wave.
Convert health leads from successful (E) traps into wave crashes to secure turret plates and dragon control.
Scale into late game where your burst outdamages Ezreal's poke, using (R) on low targets caught in (E).
