What Lane is Viego in League of Legends? The newest League of Legends Champion Viego came out the 21st, and already there are questions on what lane he's best utilized at.

Viego's backstory explains how he got his powers. He's equipped with a sword and mist power that grants him extra perks when used and nerfs his foes. His passive ability allows him to temporarily possess defeated enemy champions, and take their items and abilities. It also allows him to use his ultimate Heartbreaker, which allows him to discard the champion he's possessing and teleport forward to damage the enemy champion with the lowest health in a certain range. This ultimate will also knock away the other champions who also happen to be in range.

With his abilities, Viego seems to be best suited in a jungler/duelist role. So what lane is he best suited for? Obviously, as a jungler, it seems obvious he's best suited in the Jungle, moving through the map killing monsters. And it's true he's strong there, but he's also possible to use effectively in the top lane. He has a ridiculous attack range at 250 which allows him to get the jump on many foes, and unlike other junglers, does not suffer in the top lane because he is resource less, and does not need mana. All in all, he's a versatile champion who is best suited as a jungler, but his range and lack of reliance on mana allow him to fill a Camille, bruiser-like role in the top lane if need be.
