This is Yone's own plan; across 4,452 pooled games the lane is leaning Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 favors Yone — Veigar has zero early defense and Yone controls the melee range freely. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays Yone's — W shield and wave control let Yone zone Veigar off farm and stacks. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 favors Yone — E all-in threat that pre-6 Veigar cannot answer at all. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are Yone's — the denied stacks keep Veigar weak while Yone's kill pressure grows. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 still: Primordial Burst is 120s and only punishes a chipped bar. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item timing: his crit burst kills Veigar before the stacked combo lands. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | E/R let him pick the angle and delete Veigar despite the cage risk. |
Veigar is one of the weakest early-game champions, and before Event Horizon (E) is ranked he has no way to stop you at all. Walk up, Q-poke, and deny his Phenomenal Evil stacks and CS from the first minute. Every level he spends farming safely is a level you should be punishing him. Track Event Horizon is 20s at rank 1 and 14s at rank 5, and only the EDGE stuns — stand inside it or leave before it forms, and never dash through the wall.
