I need about 4.3k more which I can get in a few days

But are they about to nerd the ship out of her? I'm in urgent need of a good jungle that won't get needed soon

Honestly i like vi she was my first jungler granted i have not played her much now but she is solid and i really don't know of any nerf coming her way but if your team needs someone tanky and can punch the daylights out of someone go for it.

Dude, you should focus more on playing junglers that are more suited to your playstyle than what's strong at the time.

You see that? That's the problem. ANY champion over the years can potentially get nerfed, leaving you in a bad spot if you're overly reliant on them. Learn your playstyle, find a few champions in that playstyle, and you'll be fine.

Vi is a good champion if you're looking for reliable damage, some cc, invading/dueling, and the ability to build dynamically over several games. She's not good if you prefer range and safety (Fiddlesticks, Nidalee), instant blinks for defense (Lee Sin), strong aoe defensive cc (tank junglers), or split-pushing (she technically can, but you're better off with Udyr or Master Yi).

I play her for the OH MY GOD, SOMEBODY PEEL FOR ME, SHE ISN'T STOPPING, OH GOD SHE'S GONNA PUNCH MY FACE IN type of fear that it creates in the enemy carry.

She's a great champ and I'd suggest saving for her, but don't just be a meta-slave. Even when champs get nerfed, if you spend a lot of time perfecting your play with them, you can still do great.

I see Vi nerfs coming, and although I play her a lot I am not afraid to admit that she's a bit strong right now.

I just wanted to highlight one champion

Amumu - good win rate at all levels. He has been between 50 and 53% win rate since I started playing but he doesn't get much attention like Yasuo, Zed, or other champions because even though he wins a lot he doesn't do it in toxic fashion. I doubt they nerf him since he is remaining at his usual 51% win rate. He's easy to pick up and he even preforms well in diamond +

I think the other jg champs (Shyvana, Hecarim, Ivern, Skarner etc...) with high win rates could easily get some nerfs soon except maybe nocturne who might be pretty balanced.
