A data-driven breakdown of Vi Top for patch 16.11: the most-played and highest-win-rate builds and runes, the matchups that beat Vi, synergy partners, and how Vi closes games — all from ranked Emerald+ data.
Vi is an AD bruiser in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as an off-meta pick — a 46.4% win rate, 0.1% pick rate, 1,587 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 Hubris, The Collector, Lord Dominik's Regards, which holds a 50.8% win rate across 63 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.
And on the team side, Vi gains the most from a Thresh (+6.1% pair win rate).
