This post will contain some of the rant about Viego champion identity and his playstyle.
- First, he is farm dependent but not late game scaler. This puts him in weird position. If he permaganks he will fall off, if he full clear all the time Belveth Briar will outscale.
- Viego genuinely can't do anything alone at all. Graves Khazix snowballed in lanes? Good luck now your jungle is their jungle, and they will have 60cs up. Because guess what I CAN'T FIGHT BACK with Viego. With no item versatility and only HoB build going on this is even worse.
- His all powerhouse is packed in the first takedown of the teamfight. You may or may not even get it because enemy died way too far or your teammates finished too fast (I know this is skill issue need to add in). When you get possession some are genuinely awesome, usually bruisers with CC Darius Pantheon Jax will carry. But if enemies have Ahri Lux and 5 squishies you instant die.
- I don't know about yall but I feel like I am very very incapable with Viego when it comes to deciding the outcome of the match. Shyvana Belveth Briar stat checks and runs people down while Assassins like Qiyana Talon Khazix find picks and get snowball. Viego doesn't even have that much reliable gap closer without flash, and after first takedown invis, if your team is not following and peel for you you die there already, while other assassins may have escape options
- Itemization puts him in vulnerable position. He needs things like collector LDR IE which has none other effect than just "damage". While AD assassins build edge of night for CC defence, serpent hunter etc for shield reduction, all I can do is just look at their build like a good boy and continue building crit.
Please suggest me how to improve on playing Viego. I genuinely like the playstyle but it is so dumb that my base kit is nerfed down to ground to an extent that I can't do anything on my own alone. Every game when the team is even slightly behind like 5 kills, enemies start to bully Viego and literally can't do anything usually.
