This is not the buff Vi needs...

She was only broken when Courage of the Colossus was broken. Just admit you were wrong and revert the AS and MS nerf. She doesn't have "2 gap closers". She has one good reliable gap closer (R) that she can still be easily peeled out of with correct CC timing and then she has one of the most unreliable most telegraphed gap closers (Q) in the game. This ult cooldown buff is just going to make silver players cry more. You are just setting her up for another nerf.

For those who haven't seen on PBE:

Assault and Battery (R) cooldown lowered from 150/115/90 to 130/100/70

I still appreciate the buff and think it's goooood.

They've been buffing Vi pretty consistently. I think another good buff for her would be to lower the duration of blast shield even more. She's a diver but I don't think anyone wants to be building Stone Plate on Vi, they wanna be dunking people and bringing on the pain. Blast shield will help her stay in the fight longer once she gets in the fight. RIght now the cooldown maxes out at level 13 at 8 seconds. Maybe let it decrease by another 2 seconds with more levels.

Yeah missing Q is missing so much damage on Vi. In comparison to Gragas you still got range Q and range R and W to beef yourself up. Also I don't play Vi often but playing Vi recently I did feel that attack speed in the jungler was shit like really really bad. I agree with you that reverting those nerfs would be a good start in making Vi feel better but I don't think it's enough.

I agree with you on her Q when I think about it. The ability is really unreliable and if you dodge it you've lost like 70% of your kit while landing it doesn't feel THAT powerful in comparison to other diver champion abilities.

When Zac lands E he gets to kidnap a team.
Jarvan EQ is easier to land, smoother to combo and allows him to R.
Camille gets an INSANE range E that AoE stuns and gives her a bunch of attack speed.
Malphite gets his great knock up + everything that a tank does.
Wukong also gets a great teamfight knock up. Armor shred as well if you count BC.
Leona gets her multiple stuns and increases her teams damage by a moderate amount.

Vi diving just feels not as good as other divers.

Aside from the blast shield cool down change do you got any other buffs for Vi?

I mean, this buff puts her more in line with other junglers so I think it's fine.

The att spd and MS was to nerf her clear so that it was harder for her to powerfarm to 6 and between ganks after 6.
