I wish i took a screen shot, but i forgot cause I was so frustrated. This game there was a silver 4(fiz) and a gold III(vi) on the other team. I am playing really well, (as ori) but somehow vi can build 2 damage items and triple everyones damage. How the #@%&^*^ is that posible. She was 1v3 and 1v4in our team pretty much insta killed me and our adc and suport with just her ult. Games like this i have run into again and again, and i am sick of it and i dont get it. Also why am i only gaining about 15 lp per win but loseing 22-30. I have to win 3 ours 4 games to advance. Thats just bull shit

Maybe because you didn't actually peel her off the carries so they could do damage?

I feel like this is an overstatement, but:

Vi's power is about as variable as her builds. Specifically, her Assassin, Raid Boss, and Full Carry builds all have powerful damage capabilities because her kit fits the situation well. Assassin Vi is an obvious, obvious threat to Carries, so there's that. Furthermore, she actually has more built in steroids than many ADCs thanks to her Armor Break ability (Attack Speed & % Armor Reduction). This means that if she's given the opportunity to build towards Raid Boss or Full Carry, she actually will be able to compete, match, or even best many carries in the game in terms of raw damage.

She has a ton of attack steroids to boost her overall damage. Her W is an attack reset and extra aa damage, she has a good attack speed boost and temporary shield, she has 2 gapclosers, both which stack her E, she has armor shred. If she times her W correctly, she can stack 3 hits on her E to do a great amount of damage in a very small amount of time. She is a carries worst nightmare.

Triforce is named "Tons of damage" for a reason

Vi snowballs great.

Need shutdowns early.

Vi can do a lot of damage without needing many damage items. That's why it's almost always good to build her at least somewhat tanky. I think the best you can do is to position and move around really well during fights. You can make it so she can't keep hitting you so often and then she shouldn't be able to deal nearly as much damage. And especially do not get caught out alone by her ultimate or you're probably going to be in for quite a beating.

And IMO Gnar is really who does too much damage without damage items. With the stats here: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1701802121/211539496?tab=stats

48.2k damage when he has no damage items other than a Sunfire Cape.

Attack resets, scaling %HP damage, and %Armor shred. She can easily shred a soft target down to 0 resist with the right build.

She's supposedly the anti-tank Fighter, but in reality she just evaporates everyone.
