Overview

Blackthorn Veigar plays out as a level-5 reroll line built around three-starring Veigar. Tier A is the verdict from 3,777 games at a 4.35 average placement.

Meta position: 5th of 57 tracked comps, ahead of its tier's 4.43 median by 0.08. A quiet line — 0.3% pick rate against 0.9% at the median — so the units come cheap.
