Veigar vs Yone

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency and mobility, needing to manage safe farming and E cooldowns carefully.
Avoid giving Yone a passive lane to freely use E + Q combo for trades; control the wave near safety and punish his predictable paths with E.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is ready to trap Yone during his E + Q combo or after he uses E poorly.
Punish Yone's cooldowns by stepping forward immediately after he uses Yone E or misses his Q knockup.
Prioritize short trades when Yone's W shield is down or before he stacks Q for knockup threat.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown; avoid extended trades or all-ins during these windows.
Respect Yone E as it enables aggressive trades and knockups; punish cooldown misuse.
Be cautious of Yone R knockup and displacement, which can turn fights instantly if caught.

Early game

Focus on quietly stacking Q near turret to avoid Yone's E + Q all-in attempts.
Use E defensively to stop Yone's engage or punish when he overextends after using E.
Avoid pushing wave too far early to prevent Yone from exploiting your immobility when E is down.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 with R burst and first completed mage item combined with Q stacks.
Respect Yone's level 3 spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E combo with shield and gap close.
Yone's early power comes from his mobility and shield; avoid extended trades before you reach your item and level 6.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and stacking Q to maximize late-game burst.
Use E to trap Yone when he commits with E + Q, then burst with R for kills.
Deny Yone calm scaling by punishing his cooldowns and controlling lane tempo near safety.
