Since her bugfixes, she got 10x better.
But increase in popularity skyrocketed after shushei's vi on qualifier or iem katowice, can't remember correctly, and XJ9 made her popular too with his guide and stream.

In all honesty I think she's overrated. She has more dps than Warwick, but warwick is much tankier and harder to kill. She's a good bruiser with good damage, but I don't know why people pick her over Warwick
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

Warwick sucks as a jungler lol, his ult is super easy to stop and while hes slightly tankier, Vi can do way more damage then him, clears jungle faster, duels better, has an unstoppable ult, has more cc overall, list goes on and on.

As for top lane warwick's lane phase is probably better, but warwick is a weird pick, and vi is a better jungler anyway.

She's fun to play, has good dmg without many items, she can burst squishy targets or wear off tanks with her W. Did I mention she's fun to play?
Also she snowballs incredibly well, scales on of ad on all her abilities, and levels mean much to her. So if she gets early kill and some farm and gets 6 before everyone else, someone will cry.

Quoted:
Any tips on how to play against a vi?


Preez answer? I usually jungle as jax, Lee sin, and shyvana.
I believe that Vi outduels shyvana, but she has a slower clear time.
Idk how jax does. help?
Ive never had trouble escaping from Vi as lee sin, since i always carry wards, but i still don't know how to fight her, or where to NOT fight her (near her wraiths is usually a bad place, e.g.)
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

It's mostly because WW has mana costs that are crippling without blue buff, mobility creep beat his ***, and Vi's ultimate is ten times better for the anti-carry role. Not to mention Vi is much faster in the jungle and can counter-jungle well. Top lane, I agree WW may be a better choice as he's more health sustained. They other wise fit a similar niche of bulky anti-carry that can't gank for **** pre 6.

idk only real advice I have is to try to punish her for trying to gank pre 6. Either by taking her ****, or kicking her face in by counter-ganking. Her pre 6 ganks suck. Bad.

I think Shyvana is currently subpar because she scales way better with AS, rather than AD, and options are a bit narrow in that reagard. Also, Vi ganks way better, therefore can impact lanes better.
