Veigar Top, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Veigar's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Veigar is an AP mage in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a situational pick — a 51.1% win rate, 0.2% pick rate, 2,009 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Veigar is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Veigar wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Veigar tips the fight, and sieging objectives and turrets with sustained pressure. The kit grades 8/10 teamfighting, 7/10 siege. Veigar grades low on roaming and split-push (2/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
The most-played core build is Rod of Ages, Archangel's Staff, Rabadon's Deathcap, which holds a 54.8% win rate across 104 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
And on the team side, Veigar gains the most from a Graves (+4.3% pair win rate).
