Vi

Vi is an AD bruiser in the jungle, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 51.7% win rate, 5.4% pick rate, 63,417 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Vi holds a fairly even power curve, staying relevant at every stage rather than relying on a single timing.

How Vi wins: landing engage and starting fights on Vi's terms, and roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map. The kit grades 8/10 engage, 7/10 roaming. Play around where Vi is thin, siege and disengage (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver, Guardian Angel, which holds a 62.5% win rate across 4,390 games this patch. Pick the enemy team to adapt each item slot to the specific matchup.

The matchup to respect is Swain, where Vi sits at just 43.1%, the lane swings the other way into Kalista (59.3%), and on the team side, Vi gains the most from a Neeko (+11.4% pair win rate).
