Do you need help playing against Viego in League of Legends? Don’t worry—here are the best champions to help you climb the LoL ladder.

Viego is one of the best champions in League of Legends and has been since his release. He has one of the best kits that has been created as he can play a lot of styles. He scales well into the late game while also dealing a lot of early-game damage. He is the ideal champion. Viego can also get around the map quickly and his passive allows for him to briefly take the form of a dead champion. So the question is, how do you stop Viego from taking over the game? Follow this article to find out the three best Viego counters in League of Legends right now on patch 14.8.

Best Viego Counters in LoL
Skarner

Skarner has been one of the best champions in the game since his rework. He is tankier, more mobile and does far more damage even if you are building tank. The great thing about Skarner is that he can match the speed of Viego and apply pressure through either counter jungling or counter ganks. Early on, there is a good chance skarner will win just because of the added health he will have over his opponent.

Nidalee
Although she is a niche pick in the jungle these days, Nidalee is a solid option into Viego. Her Spear does a lot of damage and she can heal up in the 1v1 to keep herself healthy. Like Skarner she can match the pace of Viego in the early game as she can jump over terrain and can one-shot champions later.

Rammus
Rammus is just a nightmare for Viego, especially when he gets Thornmail. Once he has that item Viego still struggle if they encounter each other in the jungle. Try not to fight Viego before you have your core item, he will win that trade as you are not tanky enough yet to apply pressure onto him. Like the other champions, Rammus can get across the map quickly so matching Viegos pace will not be a problem.
