How to win lane as Locke against Veigar · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as both farm the opening wave with no all-in. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based before Veigar has his stun online. |
| Level 3 | Locke | Level 3 favors Locke — his all-in beats immobile, unstacked Veigar when E is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as Veigar's cage and stacks start to matter. |
| Level 6 | Locke | At 6 Locke's burst can kill Veigar before he combos, so the spike is yours. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even-to-Veigar as Baleful Strike stacks convert into threatening AP. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | 2+ items favors Veigar — infinite AP scaling and his execute R make late game his. |
At 1-2 it's a farm lane, but Veigar is one of the most immobile mids and burns mana fast, so you set the pace by threatening whenever his Event Horizon is down.
