This is Veigar's own plan; across 2,532 pooled games the lane is leaning Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Orianna's ball gives free ranged poke and wave control at level 1 that you cannot answer. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 her Q-E poke keeps trading in her favor while she shoves you in. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 her full ball combo pokes you off every farm attempt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | Through 4-5 her efficient poke and zone control keep the lane hers. |
| Level 6 | Orianna | At 6 her Command Shockwave peels your all-in and enables ganks, holding the edge. |
| First item | Even / skill | By first item it's even: your cage-combo now out-bursts her poke. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | With two-plus items your stacked one-shot beats her ball combo, so the matchup is yours. |
Orianna wins levels 1-2: her ball gives constant ranged poke and wave control your Baleful Strike can't match, so concede tempo and last-hit from safety. Track Command: Shockwave is 110/95/80s — the fight-flipper; track the ball like a second enemy and commit only in its downtime. Orianna out-lanes you cleanly: Command: Attack (Q) plus Command: Dissonance (W) gives her free ranged poke every few seconds while she controls the ball's position, and she can shove you in. Every time you walk up for a Baleful Strike (Q) stack she clips you, so farm from max range and don't contest the push.
