Vi seriously needs a nerf (imho). She can build so tanky and deal so much damage, has arm pen, and you literally cannot escape her ganks after 6. Pre-6 is bad enough lol. Just my opinion though, what do you guys think about her current state?
Nameless Voice2 votesShe just got two indirect nerfs last patch (CotC and jungle XP.)
Overall, I think she's very strong right now, but not OP or too oppressive.
Late-game, she can both deal a lot of damage and tank a lot, but she really needs some expensive items to get there. To really get that damage power spike, she needs Trinity Force, which is very expensive, and a Vi pouring all of her money into that item isn't building defences and will be very squishy.
Early-game, her ganks are decent but telegraphed, so you can avoid them quite easily if you are careful. After 6, her ganks are very strong, though she won't kill you alone if she can't hit you with her Q. She can still use her ultimate to lock you down for get ally. The ultimate has a fairly long cooldown at early ranks, so she can bring strong ganks but not that often.
Late game, she falls off a bit because she's often not really tanky enough to dive into a full team (unless ahead), and while her ultimate gives her guaranteed damage and lockdown, she's also fairly easy to peel off and burst down after she's used her ultimate.
Raije2 votesI mained Vi last year and people still haven't figured out to use their escape skills after her ult. That alone would drop her win rate down a few percent. She's great at clearing the new jungle and CoC is amazing on her. The new jungle(you really need both reliable aoe and single target damage) really cut down on the champs that could effectively be played from the jungle which is also helping her. The slight buffs to her at the end of last season should probably be reverted and she would quickly fall back to a more reasonable win rate. The biggest problem right now is how the changes to raptors and Krugs really cut down on the amount of viable jungle champs.
