Vi troubles

I'm having a seriously hard time playing against Vi in ranked. At every stage of the game she seems to have little no no weakness (even against kalista bruiser killer). Unless you build a team entirely around countering her (Morg, Janna, Sivir) she can q ult your ad for a (basically) perfect engage. Early game she has as much (typically more) pressure than agro junglers like Lee (who are characterized as falling off late game) and late game can get easy picks and hard engage. Late game pick/carry/hard engage junglers (Rengar/Yi/Malphite) all have early game weaknesses which vi does not. So where is her drawbacks? It's been really difficult for me to play against her with little knowledge of what her weaknesses are and how to counter her. Disclaimer: I'm not really ask people to explain the pick and ban phase to me I know what peel supports are.

TLDR Vi has no weakness that I know of someone please explain how to beat her to me.

What I hate is EVERYTIME I pick Warwick jungle they pick Vi, I don't get it. Even when I'm not jungling I ban Vi Just because of the strong engage.

Vi is like the strongest jungler right now with no counters its insane. Shes like a solo queue god I have no idea what to do against her at any point in the game.

Exactly my point, Fizz can dodge her ult but a smart Vi will save ult for ADC all the time, knock everybody else all the way and pretty much take the ADC out of the fight, otherwise ADC dies.

That would be because she lacks a clear weakness. Know how true damage is basically damage that cannot be reduced? Vi has the CC equivalent of true damage. I like to call it "True CC" and all of Vi's CC works this way. The fact she is mobile, tanky and has damage is just gravy.

Yeah, Vi and Jarvan have that innate tankiness with the bubbles, the AS boost, an armor reduc, incredible stickiness with their Q's and able to counter a knock back by just pressing R. They're hard to peel and do a lot of high base damage. It's scary.

Yeah it kinda sounds like they should have their insane rift dominance reduced... some how...

Vi is almost exclusively an engage champ. If doesn't have any follow up, or if the team is too slow, she's as good as dead. Her dash has a long cd, and her ult though it gives her cc immunity, doesn't make her immune to damage. As someone who loves Vi, I know where she's good, and where she's weak.

What does her q cool down matter when she only needs to use it once to win a fight? Also it is my experience that almost any team with a silver 5 understanding of the game is able to follow up on a good vi ult before she can be focused down.

It matters a big deal because say you try and gank any of the 10 mid lane flavors (Ahri, Zed, Fizz, Akali, LB, Kass, just off the top of my head) If they use their abilities to drag Vi, deep under turret she's boned.

And "your experience" is not universal. I've played with good team, but I've played with a lot more bad team, and I can tell you that even people silver and up don't always follow up. There's a lot of people who go "But look at my health", or "I wanted to keep my KDA", or my personal favorite "I didn't know you were there."

I'm not gonna argue that Vi isn't strong, she is. But you want to make her out for worse than she really is.

I build banshees when I see Vi, when I play as ADC.

Play it safe. Vi is a junglwr who goes all inwhen she hita 6 savw your flash. When she ults, flash behind the turrwt and have the support cc her when she hits you. That will interruot the damage and land a free kill
