Viego Tips and Tricks

Viego's E is a very versatile ability. It can be used on towers to enhance your split-pushing capabilities thanks to the bonus attack speed. While your R should primarily be used for fighting the enemy, it can also serve as an effective tool for escaping or repositioning. You can use it to jump over walls and make a quick getaway. In team fights, make sure to use your E to reposition. Always play around your cooldowns and use your camouflage to your advantage.
