Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At B tier, Vi works best as a counter pick or comfort pick rather than a blind pick.

The hardest matchups this patch are MonkeyKing (45.4% win rate for Vi) and Nocturne (46.9% win rate for Vi): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, JarvanIV (51.3%) and LeeSin (50.9%) are the matchups to look for, where Vi wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.

Vi Jungle guide

Vi jungle is a single-target lockdown engage built around Vault Breaker (Q), Cease and Desist (R), and Denting Blows (W): charge Vault Breaker to close on a target, land Cease and Desist to run them down and slam them into the ground, while Denting Blows strips their Armor and grants Attack Speed through the fight.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Denting Blows (W) at level 1, then maxes Vault Breaker (Q) first with Relentless Force (E) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver, and Guardian Angel, with Trinity Force, The Collector, and Death's Dance as later options.

Ability mechanics

Vault Breaker (Q) is a charged dash that carries her forward and knocks back and stacks Denting Blows on anyone she hits. Denting Blows (W) breaks the opponent's Armor for bonus damage and grants Attack Speed. Cease and Desist (R) runs down the target, knocking aside anyone in the way, then knocks them airborne and slams them back to the ground. Relentless Force (E) makes her next attack punch through the target into whoever stands behind it. Blast Shield (passive) charges a shield over time that activates when an ability connects.
