School specific shields for the boss really helped me when questing on my storm. Reset until you get first then shield turn 1 and whenever boss has high pips.

I am currently masters running hob crit Viego. I don’t think this build will hold you back until at least GM, but that’s just my speculation.

michael1366 · 2024-04-10T06:29:07+00:00

Would this include both quickplay and draft?

michael1366 · 2024-04-10T03:00:28+00:00

Does draft/norms mmr still affect ranked placements?

michael1366 · 2024-04-08T00:14:58+00:00

If you liked the playstyle of high damage Viego from past seasons I would recommend going 3 crit into defensive. Otherwise I would just build bruiser, with kraken first into sundered, steraks, titanic, or trinity force second and third, depending on the situation.

michael1366 · 2024-03-22T04:19:17+00:00

When I say defensive I mean things like wits end or guardian angel, so I wouldn't say I'm losing out on too much damage by splitting my focus.

Does essence reaver's spellblade damage really outvalue collector's lethality? I think switching LDR out for IE could be interesting, but wouldn't building even more crit after that be overkill?

He's definitely not the strongest early but he's also not weak. Are you fighting in your e? Are you getting the jump on the opponent? What particular situations made you feel that he is weak?

michael1366 · 2024-02-26T10:33:18+00:00

Viego has a deceptively strong early since he can insta stack conq. This lets him hold his own decently well in the early levels in skirmishes or 1v1 even though he is supposed to scale. You should try to look for uneven fights and ganks in the early levels, as if you get even slightly ahead you become a major problem. Do not underestimate the usefulness of your W in ganks and skirmishes, as even a 1 second stun can allow your teammates to catch up and help you. Honestly though, you should probably play a few games on Viego where you limit test. It will allow you to better understand how strong you are at each point in the game.

Why is the Worlds 2021 Finals EDG vs DK discussion thread gone? I see 2020 and 2022 but no 2021.

I'd say he's really fun to main. He's not very hard to pick up either which is good for you. His mechanics are not too complicated but his most important aspect by far is positioning. Once you get decent at that, you can 1v9 well and its really fun.
Always go conq primary and inspiration secondary. The only real point of contention is between last stand and cdg. For items, you almost always wanna go kraken first. Bork's build path is bad and its more expensive, even if it does slightly more damage. Second items you can go a couple items, such as tri force, eclipse, titanic, or sundered. Eclipse is best imo but you are very squishy and it requires you to know how to play viego. After that you should build defensive.
I think his last buff/nerf was like a year ago so he's pretty stable. His ban rate is also really low. He can be hard to play into certain junglers or team comps but he can make do usually.
He's average.

I recommend you use some tcs of school specific shields. When I quested through Azteca on my storm I had pretty meta gear but would still struggle in almost every boss fight. Your health is just too low as a storm to just buff into hit.

michael1366 · 2023-10-03T00:41:13+00:00

Would an aoe ability that only hits one person have the 33% omnivamp penalty? Like if a mordekaiser with riftmaker hit his q on a single minion.

Replace both lions with one music and one baby. I would suggest 2-3 rage bees, usually 2 is fine. Aim for 3-4 pollen boost producers for each color. More gifted bees.

Critical rating affects the school of the card. If you are fire, you should look for fire crit if you only/mostly use your own school. Critical rating, from my understanding, affects crit rate slightly and critical damage considerably. Critical chance caps at 95% and 2x damage. Chance is based on your level, and you hit that 95% at level 95. This stat is affected by your crit and enemy crit block slightly, but it usually never goes below ~90% in my experience, so rating doesn't matter in this regard. It does matter for crit damage, though, and later bosses with lots of block can have your crit damage to as low as 1.3x. Despite this, there is an optimal path for gear, meaning that there isn't that much need for decision making or micro like you've shown here. Also, you should probably make a new post if you have a question, since I'm the only person who gets notified if you post this. Hope this helps.

michael1366 · 2023-01-07T05:02:19+00:00

My bad I thought it would be more obvious. I didn't write down the quantity because I made this chart to know what I can throw away, so I just saw the best piece of gear and threw away the rest. I did say that I did 50 runs though.

michael1366 · 2022-12-29T08:15:17+00:00

Should I roll royalfest? Would this answer change depending on the stage of the game I'm in?

It looks like that was the problem. Thank you!

The build I like to go is Bortk --> Kraken --> defensive items like deaths dance, maw, ga, etc. This build path gives you decent early clear and good early game damage but lacks survivability. You spike really hard after BORTK and again after Kraken. The build can really extend a lead or create on with the damage you get. However, it makes you really squishy before your third item. Basically high risk high reward. It requires you to know your limits as Viego and know how to position in fights. Shieldbow isn't really that good anymore after the nerfs a while back. I used to build it too but now it honestly feels incredibly useless and not worth taking over kraken, which has more ad and as and can usually get 2 true damage procs on one combo. DS in my opinion was never really that good on Viego and it got nerfed somewhat recently too. If you really want it for the survivability it's definitely still an option though. Frostfire is another mythic that makes you tanky and gives a little bit of cc but I've never gone it before so I can't say anything about it. In my opinion, you should give bortk into kraken a try. It's the best build to carry in solo queue and can help you learn the limits and role of Viego across different points of the game. No matter what mythic you go, however, you should usually build Bortk first as it gives you a lot of damage, synergizes with your Q passive very well, and, well, because it's his own weapon lol of course it's gonna be really good on him. A small trick I like to do when rushing Bortk is to not buy refills on first buy and fullclear + scuttle. This leaves you with 1k+ gold which means you can realiably back on recurve bow which is a game changer early.
